Ice Pie - with my L'il I...
Was it a terrestrial telescope?
or a Newtonian telescope?if it was for looking at stars it's probably Newtonian
so that could turn the story on its head...
...and can you really trust bent light?or it may all just be more messing wit' our heads by the creator - our maker the mad molecule GT...
- after all the word telescope was created
by an italian named Giovanni...!OMG I can't see my hands - t'is all a dream...

Go Ogle Google... now there's an Igloo in the square...
Was this the launch that had a competition that hid a phone somewhere in Chch last week - my nephew phoned me up wanting to know which building in Chch had a Roman design - I found out later that this clue was referring to the Cathedral in the Square!!Roman?? HTC ? - Hardly The Cathedral!
Didn't the Goths off a Roman Emperor?

A Brave New World Order...
a litle riff of night musick to soothe the Savidge breast......too right who wants the Government controlling yer chemicals - as Huxley wrote to Orwell in 1949:
"Within the next generation I believe that the world's leaders will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience."...more Fluoride and Aspartame in your Pavlova anyone? Ad what's on the telly...
Soma Time - and the Loving is Easy...''Hug me till you drug me, honey;
Kiss me till I'm in a coma;
Hug me, honey, snuggly bunny;
Love's as good as soma."
The Elder Huxleynow take it away Barry Ferny...
(hey guys your guitars aren't plugged in... cool!)
Love and Music two of the great meterless drugs...Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,
To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.
I've read, that things inanimate have mov'd,
And, as with living Souls, have been inform'd,
By Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound.
What then am I? Am I more senseless grown
Than Trees, or Flint? O force of constant Woe!
'Tis not in Harmony to calm my Griefs.
Anselmo sleeps, and is at Peace; last Night
The silent Tomb receiv'd the good Old King;
He and his Sorrows now are safely lodg'd
Within its cold, but hospitable Bosom.
Why am not I at Peace?

Sex and Drugs and... What! No Rock n Roll...?
We are huddled together in a bottomless hole...!Probably NSFW - but good for Peter Jackson fans - do "Tube-on" and check out theses guys nifty "Crispiin Glover & David Lynch - Blockbuster"...
Oil's well that ends swell...
oh yeah! Shell, Mobil and Chevron are excellent corporate models for humanity and their little enabling buddies Halliburton & KBR - let's lay pipe!And don't forget the other great corporations - back in the day every ball of opium sold in China had Queen Victoria's stamp of approval on it - fresh from the "Company's" own plantations in India - can you say "Empire by enslavement" children? (oh and by "flag planting" too... - thanks Eddie! )

Doctor Hoofer...
If John "Putting it Together" Barrowman thinks he's being punished maybe they should do Torchwood live each night - all singing all dancing, to keep him happy... : )And what did we all think of Fringe then?
McCleod's Daughters and Dawson's Creek meets The Twilight Zone via Numb3rs ? or more than that..
a nice nod to Douglas Trumbull's Brainstorm - sadly Natalia Zakharenko's last movie - and Ken Russell's Altered States though...
... to their credit they got the obligatory X-Files "dance of torch beams" out of the way early... : )
and I am worried about someone driving into those large floating place names!
I'll give it another go next week...yrs

Flow My Tears, the polite man said...
Welcome to your own PK Dick(ensian) dystopia...I do it all the time, you guys for instance are all products of my imagination.
All true - subject GT - a well known recreational KR-3 (a reality warping drug) user - has shaped us all...
Even as I type the USA is heading towards a second Civil War and other genetically enhanced pop singers are losing their profile... Michael Jackson is really regretting pissing him off...Though I do believe subject GT may have lost control of some of his personas manifesting as Pill the Anagram Kid
Now read on...

The Jerk - part III?...
Well, given that they both appear to be 100% white......possibly something of a hint.
Look for a second sequel to Steve Martin's classic The Jerk

The Ring of Fire... Smoke on the water?
Imagine if there was a fire now and we lost everything. It'd be terrible.
How's them shakes going up round Turangi?
Wouldn't wanna loosen them bungs in the Caldera
er Lake Taupo....How many Cinder Cones are there in metropolitan Auckland again?
As I recall the second Captain Sunshine comic* - (finished but never published - Has anyone seen the artwork since?) had a plot line about some villain triggering the Auckland volcanoes...
Between Taupo and Banks Peninsula lil' ol' NZ has darkened the planet's skies a few times now, dormant is such a reassuring word in geological time... Not!
