4/25/15 03:58 pm - pouring boiling oil onto companymanglements' turbotcharged water-dwellers?various more or less obscure organisations have bored their ways gnurrlike from the voodvork out - the one whose existence was least suspected by yrhmbl srppint. hitherto being the potato council.quite where, and in what manner of boardroom, within which, probabubbly lincolnshire poach^W city, and how frequently, out of elective fever^W season, this shadowy body may meet, yr hmbl srppint cannot say; but hearing of its existence for the very first time last week, i was immediately struck by the following thoughts and queries: is there aught but malt & cider vinegar and non-brewed condiment available for the council members to fill their glasses (or have them filled for them, more like)? do council members have a simple choice of mayonnaise and real salad cream, or are they further pampered with offerings of sandwich spread? are they required to cluster closely around the board table in sit-up and beg (if padded) chippendale wooden arm-chairs, or do they get to lounge around on comfy sofas whilst they engage in silent contemplation of the menu^W order sheet proffered for their consideration, with quiet satisfaction at the range of matters arising in front of them for their inevitable approval? - for, in the doubtless telepathic communications between and amongst all associations (commonly called "clumps") within the potato council, the aeyes always have it. |

(- i've virtuou^W virtually promised nancy i'll get little grey ghost back on the road (by hook or by crook - dunno which, yet) and visit her (dunno how i'll pay for the derv, either - well, to be more accurate, I know how i'll pay for it {by co-op, oxfam affinity plastic}, just not how i'll afford it) - might it be ok to visit trowbridge inn^W (automagic reflex, sorry pardon) at the same time (as it were)?)

that's what his publishers said to kurt vonnegut, more or less - and look what happened to him & his written excrescences. . .

And does Rincewind know about this? Or at least dream about this, and about joining?

(- and i'd risk betting that jsb° never composed a suite of songs about potatoes and potatoland *g*.)
(- not so great a stake, as i'd hazard were the putative composer mozart°° *g*
- and not very many pennies in either event...)
° - auto-mis-correct tried insisting i meant "usb"
°° - not because he wouldn't have, but none of his patrons'd've paid for such a themed cycle, let alone've commissioned it from him.
