I Will Admit To Reaching A Little There
The word 'Pelagic' popped into my head and it's not quite relevant in this Intro, unless you stretch definitions. Which we do all the time. So it's staying. Also, it allows me a picture of fish. Art!

| Yes, it's real. Wonder what it tastes like with chips? |
To explain this Intro, I would like to mention "Spaghetti Kozak", whom was a budding Youtuber, whom then kind of fell off the grid. Conrad had read about his knowledge of Ukraine and visits to Kiev and feared the worst. Art!
He had indeed gone to fight the hordes of Mordor as of April 2022, which is why his YT channel stopped dead. He has updated it occasionally since then, but he holds forth on Twitter a whole lot, which is where he fulminated mightily as follows. Art!
What is our favourite gun-wielding pasta talking about? Why, none other than - Art!
Yes, apparently it's all the done thing to give your generic villain a moral makeover and claim evil is relative and they deserve a chance to tell their osnw s d f'WPEirv n
O! Excuse me, I think I dozed off. Where were we? The scriptwriters probably throw in "Tolerance" and "Compassion" whilst patting themselves on the back about how brave they are. Conrad would give them a back-patting they wouldn't forget any decade soon. Art!
Who is this two-toned harlot? Why, none other than Cruella de Vil, "Re-imagined" as a 'Sympathetic' character, who is undoubtedly driven to evil by The Man, or The Patriarchy, or a lack of pistachio-pickers in the Sanjac of Novi Pazar, or a lack of dog-skin couture. Art!
THIS is greatness: an unapologetically wicked woman out to ruthlessly achieve her despicable ends with no need for a tragic backstory about how she once passed the port to starboard and was spurned by her family. NO! She is, as the song has it, bad to the bone.
Conrad has not seen "The Rings Of Power" because it's Ol' Tolky with the serial numbers filed off, but I strongly suspect that Sauron will have been played up as having a tragic backstory and how mummy didn't love him enough. The Sauron we witness in "Lord Of The Rings" has no redeeming features, he rules through fear, terror, malice, wickedness, brute force and a predisposition to pass the port to starboard, in case you were wondering. We don't need any further motivation than a lust for power writ large. Art!
Nor is he one-dimensional; witness the Black Speech, a completely novel language he created for exclusive use in Mordor. Which some diligent translator has rendered into Chinese.
Where does 'Pelagic' come in? O I thought you'd never ask! You see, marine life in that region can live unconstrained by geographical limitations, as mirrored by a person of evil, who can live their life unconstrained by moral boundaries. Pure evil, you see, doesn't need to have been sent to bed without any supper. Also, I have my doubts about "Wicked" as it may be a musical. Art!
Here's a pitch line for a new Disney film: "Adolf The Artist: he only ever wanted to be a painter UNTIL THEY CRUSHED HIS DREAMS!" yeah yeah, and the script has people going on about his "sensitive face" and "delicate hands".
Well, tough tuchus, Bob - Mel Brooks got there before you with "The Producers".
Ambrose Bierce for Prez!
I Am Unashamedly Going To Refer To Ukraine Again
Another Youtuber I follow is 'Jake Broe', whom I have mentioned on occasion in the past. His vlogs on Ukraine are simply some of the best there are, which is an abrupt switch from his previous content, that used to be all about money and investing. Art!
Firstly, the zombie virus is airborne, so everyone has it, supposedly. The fact that the initial release was forty years previously seems to be ignored, but props for coming up with a proper transmission system
He looked out over the workshops and their frantic activity, seeing his
obedient minions slaving away on the next four flying eyes, lots of sparks and
electrical arcs illuminating the gloomy depths of the baseship. Several cast up a limb in acknowledgement of
his presence, so he decided to give an address.
‘Ahem! Loyal artificer minions of
the workshop level, hear me, hear me.’
His intelligent collar caught the sounds, amplified them and transmitted
to every nearby collar.
‘I understand that I have driven us to extremes, in pursuit of what the
higher castes have deemed essential. For
all this, I apologise. We have had to
sustain the baseship, carry out external work and replace lost equipment, when
faced with an incredibly hostile environment.
You have performed admirably.’
The purple prose carried on into the next sentence before he realised
what his earnest contempt for the higher castes was leading him to.
‘I salute your endeavour. May
this praise sustain you!’
Amongst the varied levels and sub-levels, the retrenchments and
extrusions of the baseship, this praise echoed amongst his minions.
Hmmmm not that great a photo. Rest assured you'll get an update. You can see where the B & C (and Portuguese) divisions are going to be placed; there's 60 British divisions, 2 Portuguese, 5 Australian, 4 Canadian and 1 New Zealand divisions to place. Slow work, and once I've placed these we then have about 115 French divisions to place. For every single one I need to scrape the old Blu Tak off and apply a new piece, which - fingers crossed! - means I can then put the board vertically without them dropping off.
