Nice one, Kernul. A lovely kwirk to the pen and brush tied up.

To the Wires: I look forward to the Fish for Fantasy fashion show!

...stealing thoughts from Megapixels, seems there will be not one but 2 satellites taking hi-res photos of BM this year....any thought to ensuring the Kamp is identifiable as such from air? Maybe a giant "KA" spelled out somewhere? Or will the bodies hanging from the concertina wire do just as well?

Ha! The secret is out!

The hidden liability of owning a metric ass-load of camo finally rears its ugly head.

I was able to find our kamp last year with little prob, even to the point of seeing the fringe stage across from it, and the "gulag"
between where my tent (and the BFGenerator) was and the rest of the Kamp. If we have that much free space next year, we might want to do something with it. AM thinking very
dark blue might give good contrast to the playa beige color... >heh heh heh<

Mom!!! El Wire is making fun of me!!! They remixed our song...
For no good reason!!!

Nice job, my fishy friend. How did you break the samples out of that MP3?

Wait a moment... I smell a rat. Only one man other than myself had the huge file containing the individual samples... and that man is...

I did not break any samples out of that MP3, I simply layerd parts of the song.
You guys are cracking me up here! Ha ha!
The remix proved to be a effective weapon in this war.
Holey Herring! , I should have told that I got the samples from Killbuck!

Having sunk many a ship,
I now realize my best Mantis defense is to launch a pre-emptive assualt on K.A.,
with Scurvy Pirate Musick, while dressed as a Herring!
No one will be spared!
No one!
I am impervious to alkaloid, and no BRC resident would ever suspect the old "robot-dressed-as-a-herring" Tactic.

(insert eville robot laugh here.......HA-HA-HA///HA-HA-HA)

d6,
no longer a robot bastard,
i am currently just a f-i-s-h,

(Fortuitous.Itinerant.Sedative.Humanoid)

with metal arms
and a metal body.

what?
(perfectly aware of thread drift mach 6.)
your witty rejoinder just flew over my head.....

This tactic has to work on our Herring detesting enemy!

I would suggest you practise that as a rout out of camp in the case of my best nickers bomb. Maybe hushville will take you in.

Damn you, EL Wire! Don't tell everyone about our Herringbone plans!
It's suppose to be a secret, you know! Please keep quiet about our other Herringbone plans!

Our "leader" has yet again proven how ineffective human cerebral cells can get. Gawd! The herringbone formation was (until now) our main tactic.
How can the drilled herringbone formation be a surprise now - you tell me? ...and how about NOT pouring out our plans just for a little while?

Perhaps I should fly a mitt on Henry Ford Goes Surfing in the Kinetic Sculpture Race on Memorial Weekend and see if anyone salutes?

Is to be good and proper you do so. Were it not for Henry "Mittmeister" Ford, the mitt would have been stunted in early development.
In the book 'History of the Modern Mitt in Society', it is rumored that the author, I. B. Fuckingdoomed, may have been forced, prior to execution, to have wrote:Before the development of charcoal, most utensils were handled over an open fire by use of long wrought iron hooks to prevent the user from burning themselves. Attempts at using standard full fingered leather cowboy gloves were tried, but because of the substandard materials and shortness of cuff, as well as added exposure due separate fingers, use of these gloves proved risky at best and deadly at worst. Many futile attempts were made to improve the use of the glove, but all were doomed to fail.

However, around 1915, Henry Ford was using large amount of wood to manufacture automobiles. Ford operated a sawmill in the forests around Iron Mountain, Michigan to make the wooden parts, so there were piles of wood scraps. Ford learned of a process, which had been developed and patented by Orin F. Stafford, which involved chipping wood into small pieces, converting them into charcoal, grinding the charcoal into powder, adding a binder and compressing the mix into the now-familiar, pillow-shaped briquettes. By 1921, a charcoal-making plant was in full operation.

Because of this wonderous new fuel source, a better method of handling the heated implements were sorely needed. A brilliant scientist (whose name was lost in the sands of history, but is rumored to have an appearance strikingly similar to the Benevolent Dictator Killbuck) came up with 2 remarkable changes that would re-invent the Mitt to what we know and revere today - First, the abandonment of the usage of cheap, shoddy thin leather to a padded, insulated, and asbestos-filled quilted cloth or suede material from Soviet Bloc countries eliminated the the overall pain and suffering of 3rd degree burns of the older style gloves, and the conversion of the digits (always a source of trouble, and unworkable and unwieldly with the new Asbestos Fiber filling) into the widely respected and recognized Digit Cove, along with the cuff extension and protective cuff rail, made this a feared and respected device for handling ANY hot material - Spatulas, Cast Iron, U-237, etc.

SO it is indirectly because of Henry Ford's wonderous enablement of the invention of Charcoal Briquettes that the Mitt, which is loved, revered, and feared the world over, is what it is today - the source of all humanity.

Ergo... would not be proper to fail to fly holy mitt on said Ford. Problem is to solved.

IN service to your continued doom...

A suede oven mitt? Like blue suede? All I have around here is a basic mitt....who knew there were choices. I thought that the people's factories only produced one style of mitt....I'm shocked!

And I like the idea of "Kinetic" sculpture races.....

Good info, B.B. Sue! But lots of folks will believe it is fiction.
It is not. The name of the charcoal product: Kingsford.
As in ...Ford.
