Who needs Joy Division oven gloves when you have an engraved Joy Division slate?

Elsewhere, I wandered off round the scrubland where the blackberries live. The brambles are vast and the berries most tasty.

Last year, during the Beer with Billy event, pnh was playing the gravedigger. ("Do you dig graves?" "Yeah, they're alright..") While I was

I really enjoyed this post. Even though deadlines have scoured my brain to the point of not quite understanding the post.

It still made me happy.

All the words are taking on double meanings today. Time to back away from the word processor.

I went to see young Curtis' memorial stone once, you know. There were flowers, and little notes, and pictures, and for some reason an eight-inch plastic Batman. I'd have left an eight-inch plastic Robin, obviously, but it was Sunday and the toyshops were closed.

I should scan the photo, really.

[sushidog]

I think if the Batman is eight-inch, the Robin should only be seven and a half.

Perhaps Batman is standing further away and Robin is close but out of focus in the Kevin Cummins style. Which would be appropriate given the subject matter.

I trust you are scratched and stung appropriately? My hands look like I've been fighting cats, but I have a _lot_ of blackberries to show for it.

[hirez]

Yes.

Oh.

Brambleporn.

I blame sarah_mum.

She reminded me of the odd seventies artifact that was Brambleporn - rain-damaged copies of Mayfair or Penthouse found in hedges when looking for clay pigeons or spent shotgun cartridges. Or whatever other reason small boys had for exploring hedgerows.

How deep did his excavation get ?

[hirez]

!!

Gaffering up the plasm was an obvious move in hindsight. Well played.

We were underground to begin with. If there'd been any more digging, the island would have sprung a leak and sunk.

[jarkman]

Ta. As you can imagine, many enticing possibilities have ocurred to us for a machine of that nature.

[hirez]

Oh, please try to imagine the depth of my surprise... :D

I wonder if you can get the thing to deal with Truetype fonts?

(And if a hand-built CNC-plasm isn't bOing^2 material, the world's a terrible place filled with bollocks and poor excuses.)
