With leftovers from what I used for a bath-panel I knock up a couple of 66% scale sections of the cats I figure we'll be able to float in the eBay bath-tub I've to set up in the garage, and I put one on the floor and ask it were it able to speak then what would it be saying to me?
For we're at a crossroads and I realise that as your captain, you're relying on me to bring you to safe harbour. What do we want from this, what do we REALLY want?
In fact what do we really really really want, zig-a-zig ah?
In WW2 if you'd ideas like bouncing bombs then the MoD would set up a task force and you'd all dress in a khaki coat and drive down to the south coast to build and to test it, to film it in 8mm, to shout 'hurrah!' and go for a pint of ale.
Nowadays you have to form a company for a government that only wants to screw the tax out of it like lemon juice, all presented on a plate... but that's not us, is it? We don't want to run a company, do we, at our age? We've no need of money, for we know life is essentially a vale of misery and the blog an illusory veil that merely postpones the inevitable date of our death.*
(I planned on a round-table here to discuss all of this, but couldn't find a round one and so had to make do with an oblong discussion instead.)
For at the end of the day, do we go down the thoroughbred drone route and confine ourselves to sailing from armchairs using headsets that only make Mark Zuckerlump even richer than the rest of us?
'No, no, no, no, no!' as Margaret Thatcher was most famous for saying beside 'Fuck the miners.'
For we want something we can sit in too, or at least something we can sit in and sail digitally together into a sunset. And so tho' I've drone designs up my metaphorical sleeve, we'll persist with the flat-cat but continue to refine it to the point where it is as feasible to chimpanzees as to you and I with our extra 1% of DNA.
So do join me now if you would in telling the cat we're not quite finished with it yet?
After all you can only get sectioned for it.
