Once Upon A Time Or Four

Once upon a time I could find an oddball picture like this online and send it off to McGoo, and in a few days he’d post it with a really imaginative and snarky story attached, possibly implicating Nancy Pelosi and disproving quantum as it relates to Obamacare and origami. Alas, Sir Steamy merely lurks now and then, and his once wondrous blog, a refuge of the endangered jabberwocky in the barren wastes of reasonless mimsy that is the intertubes - plus Science!! - has been taken over by another, who merely rants against everything by finding slightly inventive ways to regurgitate a single base expression. Sigh. No more steampunk stuff either. Or teeth.

But as you can see in the picture above, ‘tis nearly brillig, so that means it’s time to get cooking.  And fie on you if you conclude, for the obvious reasons, that this is a picture of the new Iranian Tomcat missile. The real truth is just as strange.

The same guy who built the thing above, which I think was to remind you either that a) time flies, or b) it’s time to get up, also built this bullet proof iron baby carriage, a Tim Burton bit of welded Goth-ness suitable for perambulating around your bullet proof iron baby.

I can report, I can write, I can find all kinds of pictures, and a few times a year I have a good rant in me or a decent pun, but when it comes my turn to actually be pan narrans, which is our purpose here on earth, right?, I’m just a chimp.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
