I sense a theme. A bizarre one, but a theme nonetheless

Sdtrk: ‘Sympathy for the devil’ by Laibach

Funny story: at the bank today, I encountered another bloke with a robotic left arm! He and I didn’t actually speak, as we didn’t know each other, but he entered the queue about four people behind me. But I mean, it was rather strange; it wasn’t just the coincidence that he had a prosthetic arm just like Kyle, but this bloke’s left arm was mechanical, just like Kyle. What the hell is going on here??


It looked exactly like this, to be honest. Without the accessories, of course

I was giggling, however, as I was reminded of the character Martin Finnucane from Flann O’Brien’s surrealist riot of a book, ‘The third policeman‘. He was the self-proclaimed captain of all the one-legged men in Ireland, and a pivotal scene describes him leading a small army of men, each boasting a timber shin, into a rescue operation. A highly recommended book!

If Kyle truly is some sort of mechanised assassin, I’m guessing he probably sent that fellow round to keep an eye on me. How very clever, Kyle… if that is your real name

    i think that was another one of those instances i was bemoaning not long ago, where you hip me to some art or vocab AND i scribble it down AND forget about it AND i ask you about it later (supplying the meager-est of details AND you ‘go’ something like, “huuuuh, i dunno”…

    alas, i am re-enlightened until ‘when-not’…

    ;]

    p.s./near-flying monkey…

    so was “versus” the thing you were talking about being remade with even less dialogue?

    ‘member, i was asking, “what was that thing about the guy… escaped from something… in the forest of something… something… something… something…”

    sorry…
