who's afraid of the big green shrew, 
big green shrew, big green shrew, 
who's afraid of the big green shrew, lalalala laa.

Well, I am.  I'm more afraid of whoever painted it green.  Whoever paid for it to be painted green.  Whoever designed the automated giant shrew-painting machine.  Whoever bred the big shrew.

I wonder why they didn't just breed the greenness into the shrew in the first place?

Maybe...maybe... the joy of the painting was *why* they did it.

Now I'm *really* scared...

Scene: secret room in US embassy in Belgium

UN weapons inspector Hans Blix is being cross-examined by a US Intelligence representative.

"So, any nuclear weapons?"

"No."

"Biological? Anthrax, maybe?"

"Nope."

"Plague, ricin..?"

"Nope."

"Agent Orange?"

"No, none of that."

"All right.. (sigh) What do they have, then?"

There is a long pause.

"Weeeelll.. they have some goats, sir."

"Goats."

"Goats, sir. And there is an unconfirmed report of a cow."

Pause. The speakers exchange glances.

"Goats. All right, maybe we can use that."

---

"..and the UN report clearly shows that a goat fed for three weeks on brussels sprouts can contaminate an area of 400 square miles. Launched from a catapult assembly, they can fly up to 4000 feet, which is 300 feet further than permitted by UN resolution 66. These biological goats of mass destruction.."

"Weapons, sir. Weapons."

"These biological weapons of mass destruction....."

Tue4.2.03


dave: Self-implosion is always popular

This quote puts Nokky in mind of a very sad song..

Pam-papam-pam, pam-pam pam-param,
Papam papam pam, papapam-param
Papam papapam papaparam-param
Param papa-paraaam (pom, pom, pom..)

Oh, lah-di-di and a 1, 2, 3 (let's meet)
Eric the self-imploding sheep
a b c d e f g
The self-imploding sheep

He has white curls and he has grey paws
He walks with a waddle and he wiggles his nose
With a sad-eyed look he strikes a pose...
....and then he self-implodes.

Eric likes the trees and Eric likes the grass
Eric likes the butterflies and birds and bats
He likes it when they sing as he trots along the road
On his way to self-implode. :(

On Mondays he sings songs and on Tuesdays he runs races
On Wednesdays he reads books before he travels places
But he gets the weekend off, because everyone knows
That on Fridays Eric self-implodes.

In the morning, he eats his meal
Looks around at the ones who feel
his pain and rejection; but they'll never know
The pain of those who self-implode. 



dave: Has no-one decided to kill him for the benefit of humanity yet?                           
- douglas: He's in Cambridge.
- alex: Next best thing, surely...

~ tancredi: I have the Empire of the rising sheep!

Mon3.2.03


Image: 46 alex: No, it's the other way round! Nokky is the cute young defender of the internet, and I'm the plastic-formed kit who carries him around...

alex: If Nokky's become my vehicle, then I will definitely have no need for my bike!

alex: It would be more intimidating to meet someone with two cute aliens on their shoulders in a dark alley at night than in a park in the daytime.

alex: No, I want an armor made out of green crystal stuff.

alex: I can see the Media Player's point of view. Not a position I'm in very often...

Image: 46 mike: [Nagi voice]  Plot is coming, never fear. [normal voice]  If I don't want you to fear, why am I using a Nagi voice?

alex: Drinking bread out of a cup wouldn't be too bad, but putting coffee into a toaster wouldn't be a good idea

mike: You mean you're not related to a strange ant-sheep crossbreed?
- alex: Not unless that's what my nephew turns out to be...
[The first line of this made *perfect* sense in context. Click /ContextMon3rdFeb03 if you want to know it.]

Image: 46 mike: This bike had been sitting outside my house, obviously abandoned, for several days. And I had thought about taking it in, and caring for it, you know, giving it bread and milk, and nurturing it until it was ready to be released into the wild... and then I thought... "No, it's a bike!"

~ jud: Thursday starts at 6:30pm

Sun2.2.03
