The picture of the be-slippered lower leg in the St Michael book of Unexplained Mysteries haunts me to this day.

The Bermuda Triangle is embedded deeply in my memory – alongside creosote, the Bird's Eye Steakhouse Grills advert and the mystery of white dog poo. Don't get me started on spontaneous human combustion!

SimonWJohns (@simonwjohns.bsky.social) reply parent
No one talks about the Bermuda Triangle anymore! I used to find it absolutely terrifying - we all did. And then one day, nobody seemed to care. WTF! The Bermuda Triangle is still there!

I have pondered. Like every other Englishman, the Invisible Man would turn the sumptuous colour of beetroot juice within seconds. This would slake off revealing the pallid cheesy green again. But it would be invisible.
SimonWJohns (@simonwjohns.bsky.social) reply parent
what would a tanned invisible man look like? I now have to ponder this and will get back to you later with a definitive answer.

Take machinery, for e.g. The best machinery is Italian & ppl pay a premium for it cos it's so good. It took decades to hit that level. If the plan is to localise US manufacturing, it will take as many decades for the US to hit that level too. Until then ppl will still buy Italian machinery.

I had the immense pleasure of play a cover of War Pigs with Janet Weiss' band Quasi in Philadelphia. I monumentally fucked it up, which I felt was in the spirit of the song. Kinda.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. I've seen a Rickenbacker bright red bantar. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
