Case #417216.

Day one.

Case Manager Curtis Rollins.

Log Entry.

The OSIR has begun an investigation into the Phenomena.

And thus begins every episode of the Sigh Factor. Besides Curtis Rollins, be sure to read about Bored White Guy, Scientific White Guy, and Jumpy White Girl on the Other Investigators page.


There are several rules that you must adhere to in order to be an OSIR Case Manager; I'll list those here:

  • Always speak slowly.
  • Pronounce everything deliberately and exactly.
  • Never interrupt.
  • Try to make it sound as forced and faked as possible.
  • IMPORTANT! You must, at all times, form sentences with an article, a verb, and one of the phrases listed in the OSIR Word & Phrase List. You must use these phrases frequently and repetitively.
