… duel!
It ranged all over.
Neither one was a master.
But our battle was legendary!
Many knuckles were bloodied
Many 10mm sockets were lost
In the endless fight
That really only lasted a few hours
But it seemed endless.
Finally, I could take no more.
I called my most loyal companion
I don't know where he got the C-4
He's not really right in the head
But with care, and fear, and trepidation, and tryptophan
(Because we had …

… mechanical beasts of air and sea
From those distant and mysterious
Inventors in far away lands
Hitachi, and Denso.
With haste they responded to my desperate call!
With haste, and with free shipping!
And they sent me the supplies
And equipment
And a rather silly amount of packing material
Like, couldn't you just use a smaller box folks?
But with the necessary provisions
I set out on my quest.

But do you have that kind of equipment on hand?
For a 2011 Honda Fit?
Noooooo, I don't think you do either.
Why would you?
You don't even have a 2011 Honda Fit.
Pfft.
Ridiculous.
Anyway.
So I set out on a mighty quest.
I reached out through that greatest of human inventions,

And set in motions of vast swaths of humanity
Across the world.

… sole, and sinews of humanity.
So up from my bed
Did I leap
At the sound of my daughter's
mournful cry:
"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!
My 2011 Honda Fit's acting funny."
Thus did I dive into that nest of snakes
And gears
And slime
And petroleum products
(which were probably the slime)
To find and defeat the source of this evil curse.
And, I mean, it really looked like
it needed a valve adjustment.
Maybe a plug and coil …

But lo! What smoke
From yonder crater rises?
Well, y'see,
I had plans for Saturday
Y'know?
Well, not really plans per se
I was just going to sort of
Hang out
And stuff.
Maybe go see a movie.
But have you looked at ticket prices lately?
Sheesh.
Anyway
When suddenly - a quest!
A disruption to the natural flow.
A danger to challenge the heart, sole,
And yes, I mean sole - but the fish or foot? Hmm.

“But the plans were on display…”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.'"

Do I know any #English lawyers?

Nothing bad, I am just curious how someone would get case documents out of the court system for a tribunal I did back in 2014 - Since I assume those documents are "public" now.

Dear Friends of SAUSAGES [said in my best dawg voice] 🦞

Even though I don't pawn or own a visible dog, I speak fluent #canine. And just like me, they do like their sausages. Just had four for breakfast. Real pork. None of that #vogon or #vegan #processing. When the #wolf has your tongue. SAUSAGES!

As I believe in a #balanced diet, took one multivitamin, #sauerkraut, for my gut microbiome and gott 😇 wholemeal #seed bread and #butter to #house the sausage AND a pot of #English decaff #tea to fight my #caffeine #drug habit.

Obviously I am still a #heretical #Moslem, #Jew, Vegan. And as a heretical #Buddhist of all but the Tantrists and a few other cults, I will never make Jain-Hood. Not that I was trying. Wait... I am trying...

The point is #failure is an #option and for some the only lonely #choice. Just don't beat yourself up over it [usual Nazi #exclusions apply, Nazis are fair game as Tom Cruise Ship might say]

PSA: people like @AndresFreundTec do not provide their invaluable service because of some #infosec #vogon's checklist. imho, this is a case of how smart people do great work outside their box if they are allowed to.
you do not get this with #commandcontrol .

Entering the room and seeing her there I immediately worried we were in for some #Vogon poetry imminently.

So excited that the content for #42 is complete and publication this summer is on track. Glad to be among those supporting this important work. Will there be new #Vogon poetry unearthed from the #DouglasAdams archives? Who knows! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/unbounders/42-the-wildly-improbable-ideas-of-douglas-adams

I’d rather hear Gilbert Gottfried recite #vogon poetry for an hour than listen to a single Dave Matthews Band track.
