- Oh wow man... I think I must have, like, died. That is, all my vibes
- are like, being separated from my physical existence... I guess wearing S
- that bike helmet would have been a pretty groovy thing to do after all. y
- Whoa, spaced out, man.. this is quite a view... all sorts of colours d
- and rainbow effects... Whoever's on this gig must have a Quantel. I n
- never had a trip as groovy as this... Hey, my life just, like, flashed e
- before me... wow, all those memories... my first pair of flares... tie- y
- dying my shirts... tie-dying those socks... underwear... buying those -
- groovy crystal spiritual fulfilment beads, man, what a bargain at only
- $15 each... getting my first Donovan album (I dunno why God gave Jason t
- Donovan the same name, man.. it's just not justice)... missing out on h
- getting any chicks at Woodstock 'cos I was too shy, and didn't wanna e
- sexually threaten them with chat-ups, and didn't know any chat-ups, and
- was nine thousand miles away... Groovy... wide ties... hey, this is o
- just last month! ... long collars... corduroy jackets, oh yeah, I love n
- all that stuff... getting my first lecturing job at the arts faculty, l
- yeah... ah, what a life... y

- MR POPSICLE RETURNS - Part 10 s
- h
- That's right, it was the part of the story that the readers (7 asylum o
- inmates, 3 bored computer scientists, a kid waiting for some mould to p
- grow, and an old sea captain with one leg living in a lighthouse who p
- had nothing better to do) had been awaiting for no less than eleven e
- weeks! The actual appearance of Mr Popsicle in a Popsicle adventure. (I r
- would have labelled it "a Popsicle story", but it didn't sound dynamic, s
- action-packed, and thrilling enough).
- Yes, Inspector Sideburn had given up on his meagre resources and a
- equally meagre brainpower finding the culprits to the big armoured car r
- robbery, and had called in the Australian Royal Security Establishment. e
- The ARSE was even now under threat from a Royal Commission, enquiring
- as to whether it should have to change its name. Not in the interests m
- of decency and seriousness mind you; just as a little bureaucratic o
- exercise. All Australian government organisations are required by law r
- to change their names at least once every ten years, to keep the e
- alarmingly large Department of Namechangers operational. It is they at
- the DoN that are responsible for designing and printing all the new d
- stationery, logos (logoes?), moving offices, and all that other a
- time-and-money wasting stuff that government departments do which n
- completely confuses anyone who wants to ring up to find out which form g
- they have to fill in for a heart transplant. e
- Anyway, Mr Popsicle and Inspector Unnecessary-Violence of the r
- (currently) ARSE arrived at Dung Hill Police Station in a fairly o
- low-key way. u
- Inspector Sideburn (who shall be known forthwith as Sideburn) s
- greeted them in the lobby of the station, and was surprised to see that
- Inspector Unnecessary-Violence (who shall be known forthwith as The t
- Inspector, to save space in TCWF, and to prevent confusion between the h
- two Inspectors; jeez, couldn't one of them have been a sergeant, or a a
- superintendent?) was fairly drenched in blood, and appeared to have n
- someone's arm hanging out of his top pocket.
- "What happened to you? Riot?", asked Sideburn, quite reasonably t
- under the circumstances. h
- "Nah.. post-Christmas sales", replied the Inspector, trying e
- gallantly but unsuccessfully to push the arm down into the pocket.
- "What, crowd control?" N
- "Nah.. I wanted to get one of those cheap tellies. Some bitch of an e
- old lady got ahead of me on the escalator. Lucky I had my chainsaw with w
- me."
- They made their way to one of the many briefing rooms. Where they Y
- were briefed. The details of the briefing aren't brief enough to be e
- brought to you here, within the all too brief confines of this episode, a
- so a brief briefing of the briefing will occur in the *next* episode. r
- And make sure you're wearing your briefs. '

- This has been a not-brief-enough episode of that E
- briefly funny but now just plain dull written v
- concept statement, the "Toxic Custard Workshop e
- Files". Why not get yerself an e-mail subscrip-
- tion???? Brief details can be obtained for a r
- brief time only from tcwf@gnu.ai.mit.edu e
