In an attempt to boost Igor’s spirits (after all, morale is essential here), Igor’s doting minions have made considerable exertions (not, of course, that Igor's high maintenance). Clearly, Igor’s hectic life was lacking something, and finally, it has been realized that the missing element in Igor’s demanding life is parties. Of course, the theme of every party should be Igor, Igor, and, obviously, more Igor, but unfortunately, Igor simply cannot be so easily replicated. And so Igor’s minions have had to brainstorm to create other amusing themes.
So far, they have come up with an "E"-themed party, where everyone had to dress up as something that beging with "E" (obviously to honor "EE-gor," although it happened to coincide with the birthdays of two underlings, whose names were Elsie and Erica, or something like that -- Igor can't be bothered to know for sure); a passover-themed party (obviously to honor Igor's return to London from Istanbul as he passed over the Continent, although it happened to coincide with the holiday, Passover); and next will be an animal-themed party, where everyone will dress up as animals (to honor Igor, but obviously, no one can dress as a turtle because they simply will not be able to compare with Igor).
Hopefully, with these morale-boosters, Igor will once again be in fighting condition to face the drab dreariness of spring showers.
(Please note there was supposed to be a beautiful photograph of Igor atop a bed of flowers here; unfortunately, Igor's handler, Heeseung, has failed to keep Igor's files in tip-top shape and has lost the photograph -- consequently, the world loses out on a lovely image. This is why Igor must get new help. Applications will open 5 April, 2010.)

Igor was picked up and driven in silence to the bathhouse late in the darkness of night, where he was the only customer for the duration of his bath. He was scrubbed, lathered, and massaged to an inch of his life by a large, mostly naked, non-English-speaking Turkish woman. It was not an experience Igor can say was particularly enjoyable, although his skin, admittedly, has never been softer.
