Friday Ephemera (829)
Scenes. || Some optimistic ladies. || A mercifully brief history of dial-up modem handshakes. || Today’s words are job satisfaction. || On the thrill of bollards. || Sudden-onset sidewaysness. || All things considered, it was not a great date. || In case there were any doubt as to the kind of creature she is. || Whatever is to hand. || Xerox Hell, in which you ruin photos. || Now is not the best time. || Bear maintenance. || Moon suit, 1960. || Nostrils of Aquachap. || Nuff cuffs. || Incoming. || Incoming 2. || Question asked. || The situation did not improve. || On imitating pigs for fun and profit. || The progressive retail experience, parts 751, 752, 753 and 754. || Proles at home, 1962. || Unsuccessful product, 1982. || Astronaut training. || African snow. || Fearsome beast. || Oh, and meanwhile, in the woods.

My first thought was they’d marketed a novelty “toy” like you could find at Spencer’s Gifts at the mall back in the 90’s. Then I remembered E.T. had those glowy fingers…
[hangs head in shame]
…meanwhile, in the woods.
You’d better not go alone.
Although – that’s not nearly as terrifying as the giant Australian sky whale with the hundred saggy boobs.

At 14? Hell, I read the Hobbit when I was 10. Ditto LotR.
