    Just who are you calling a ho?

    wonder how long it took to make the model?

    About 170 years, I reckon. And 20 seconds to break. Makes one feel a bit SMALL!

    All the world's a model, and all the men and women merely figurines? More info on faking it, here.

    Somewhat off topic, but I thought everybody might enjoy some beautiful pre-quake-Chch porn. It makes Chch look like a toy ideal city. I hope we can make it even better than this, one day.

    Music contracts at the crossroads

    Gunfire erupted from a window high above them, but it was only a bass player getting shot for playing the wrong riff three times in a row, and bass players are two a penny in Han Dold City.
    .........

    There was a copter above them now which seemed to be involved in a side skirmish with the band upstairs. Smoke was billowing from the building. The sound engineer was hanging out of the window by his fingertips, and a maddened guitarist was beating on his fingers with a burning guitar. The helicopter was firing at all of them.

    Just a few sentences of background action from the beginning of So Long and Thanks for All The Fish . I really wish Adams had lingered longer in Han Dold City!

    The moment you presume anyone in a car (or even on foot) can see you is the moment when you are most at danger.

    Agreed. I've found making eye contact with motorists and using a horn* are two good methods for de-cloaking when necessary.


    *those old-fashioned ones with a rubber ball that you squeeze are GREAT, they make a good loud noise without being deafening.

    with, or without, a cross-bar?

    ...and there should be no stigmata in being a cyclist.
