After so long away, I'm watching spellbound the kaleidoscopic DT
and the associated bloodsports. Please, guys, don't stop now!
Keep those fudge-packing iguanas, italianate families, and the
venomous bowl movements coming! A great idea for a B-grade
schlock-horror film/musical set in the Adelaide pie cart or
Sydney's Cafe-de-Wheels, where they serve pie floaters!
Bobsprit, are you still watching? You do the flick, I'll write
the score, and we'll offer the mastering to Danny, hmmm?

The civilized world would never believe it.

Nono--it's a pie floater. A dense green pea soup (sludge
consistency) with a meat pie (mainly gravy rather than meat)
floating upside down in it with a blurt of tomato sauce (ketchup)
on the pie. Given that disgusting sludgy green pea soup was a
genuine delicacy in the Royal Navy of the Napoleonic era, despite
its appearance, and that the local meat pies are one of those
disgusting things that everybody consumes in private but never
admits to, it porbably tastes quite good, but I've never plucked
up the courage. (Why should I, when our other main traditional
fast food is the Cornish pastie with nary a pea in sight?)

No! I'm in competition with honoria! I'm going to get produced
first! (if Katysails would hurry up with the demos that is) No
bloody gondolas in MY opera, just manly men, female women and
REAL virtual sailors. All doomed of course.

Of course!
And if you could include some references to "Yellow Beard," we MP fans would
be much appeased. Some suggestions would be:
1. "You'll never kill anyone if you go 'round thinkin'!"
2. "Where's my piratin' outfit?"
3. "If you say you don't know where my treasure map is, I'll nail your tits
to the table!"
4. "Don't worry mate, I'll spend your share!"
5. "It'll do the boy good to have a bit of senseless violence in his life!"
And of course,
6. "Read! Read! The last time I read a book, I was raped!"

NOooooo!!! Oz not being cultured other than in a bacterial sense
is unaware of the other pretender to the Internet Opera crown
(hon. in cyb.) Do NOT confuse the Internet Opera aka The Cedar
Bucket with honoria in cyberspazio. No wimpish searches for
peace love and understanding and assorted warm furry feelings in
MY internet opera (other than the warm furry feeling of egos
flaming and pubes igniting in the miasmia arising from the
sanitary arrangements). No! No gondolas either!! No! and no
cyborgs either!!! the Cyborg wouldn't last one verse with
Bobsprit's Ghost Girls!!!! Nor does the script look like it was
written by a committee (why oh why do the oil companies,
philanthropic megamillionaires and cultural foundations fail to
see the genius and the potential profits in this searing expose
of virtual reality????)

Katysails is in the throes of half of Korea descending on her household in the matter of days...we've had three college
graduations since June...plus i've been working long hours...and then we HAD to get the boat in the water before I went stark
raving bonkers...(oh...I forgot...I already WAS stark raving bonkers...)...and then there was the matter of the ceremonial rite
of preparing the voodoo doll of neal for proper action....finding a Portuguese Man-o-War in Michigan, though, was quite a
trick....katysails PROMISES she will get to it ASAP....(barring death....)
