Skimming thru the CostCo catalog (after declining a suggestion that we purchase the Boom Wireless Game Chair for the cats), I noticed a fake-stone pillar crowned with flame being sold as the “Morrigan Fire Bowl Column.”
“Gee, honey”, I said, “would you buy an explosive-powered open flame named after the Celtic goddess of war and carnage?”
To which Mike replied, “Remember, this is the society that names a line of luggage after Amelia Erhart.”
Good point.
Excuse me, regional galactic coordinators. Are any of the OTHER planets ready for excursion yet? This one’s has sentient surface froth, and the Giant Skimming Spoon is long overdue. PS– be sure to use the right hole size this time; some of us are *still* pissed about the dragons and unicorns. Kthxbai.
Edit: It just occurred to me that perhaps it is the Morrigan FIRE BOWL Column, eg, for sacrifices to the Dark Lady of the Ravens and the Bloody Earth That Bears in Spring. And I really don’t think that kind of tech needs to fall into the hands of J Random Condo Association or bored teens. Planet transfer request still stands… oh, but only if it has Puffs.
