ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 29th July 2001 
Encapsulated Life Pod Number 3


A Podded History:

tongueout 
Call me Pod. C'est moi, bouncin' around just above there. If I had to characterise myself as something, it'd be a freedom fighter. I am fighting for freedom from reality, sobriety and mundanity. I will use any weapon in this fight, but I prefer ale ,bubbly ,stout and donut 's. I am a happy Pod, a dancing Pod, a nimble toed odderly type of Pod. If it dances like light on the shining eyes of irony, I'm there. I mostly talk gibberish but will sometimes speak bigeyes . I should say that I am being kept alive here by a slave in RL. My slave never goes out, never does anything except sit at a keyboard and type type typety type- keeping me alive here. He has a name, but I forget what it is.





Muse of Gibberish
Oh, I am the muse of gibberish. I am sworn to inpsire poor mortals to gibberish wherever I can. Now I feel complete. I wanted to be muse of complete gibberish, but felt that was a little above my station. If you want to be a muse of something, and lets face it, who doesn't? Then go and check out the Musehome

Just a sweet lovin' fool trapped in a Tractarian nightmare of his own devising.
This is a picture of a man clutching a piece of rock while he is being shot at. He is also framed, it seems, by more rock. It struck me that what we have here is a metaphor- a metaphor of a man who really likes sweets. He seems to like them so much, he's prepared to be shot at, if necessary, rather then give up his stick of rock. Now, call me old fashioned, but I think this man has something to say to us all, does he not? Though I am not quite sure what it is he is trying to say.






Thanks to ANDROKTONE for this:

A QUESTION

Official Keeper of the one thing in the whole universe that absolutely, positively and definitely cannot be kept.
I am pleased to have recently been awarded this honour, and as a self-imposed condition of acceptance, I decided to never, ever, tell anyone what it is. But, then I thought it would be more fun to give a pound (yes, a whole pound), to whoever correctly guesses what it is. Anyway, I've got it, and I'm keeping it, OK? I would like to thank Archangel Galaxy Babe for awarding me this impossible paradox. If you want something to keep too, just ask at the Keepers Page

Big floppy dogs and small yappy dogs.
Feb 9, 2002

Dogs.
They come in two types.
You get big floppy happy-go-lucky type dogs, who are a bit dim and foolish but generally quite ok.
And
You get small uptight yappy little b*****ds that bite your ankles.
Many of us take this for granted.
We go to work, eat lunch, come home, watch telly, go to bed.
Never give it a second thought.
But, this situation is purely the result of random genetics.
Imagine it was the other way around..
Imagine dogs came in these types:
Small floppy happy-go-lucky types
and
Big uptight yappy large b**t**ds that bite your ankles.
Ponder that, and don't mention Darwin.
Or Napoleon.
Or Barbara Woodhouse.
Actually, whatever happened to Barbara Woodhouse?
Did she used to go home to her big mansion and sit down in a huge chair and wonder why, when she had devoted her life to giving dogs a sense of security and purpose, that she had random chaos and dog food adds to cope with?

Police Aware.
Feb 9, 2002

In my current country of residence, the police like to put big stickers on cars. The stickers say, in big letters, "Police aware". If a car hasn't moved for three weeks and has a broken window and no hub caps, the police will come along and put one of these stickers on it. Then, I guess they go back to their offices and sit back and proudly think to themselves,
"Well, now everyone knows we are aware of that car. We spotted it. We became aware of it. We are aware of it. And we have told the world. Job done."
This is all well and good, but what happens if they start getting over excited and realise that they are aware of much more stuff than just cars? What happens when they go mad and put these stickers on everything? Trees, houses, dogs, nurses and students for example? How could we stop them? Well, we could call the police, but... ahhhhhh... you see?
I think there are two answers to this problem.
One: Confuse the police. Phone them up one day and ask "You know that car in Acacia avenue with the missing door? Well, what colour is it then? Eh?"
This might work, but I don't know. The police are very busy and always worry about what sandwiches to bring for lunch, so they might pretend to care about your phone call but they probably won't really..
Two: Bring everyone else into the game. Encourage other professions. You would get school kids with "Teachers aware" on their backs, or donuts with "Baker aware" etc... This is also unlikely to work but it would make society a more absurd and pointless place than it is already (satire)

I have been staring at my user number for four months now, and just realised that it makes 42 in a sequential line..

((1+8+1)*4)+1+1 = 42.
