Another Month, Another Mayhem

It's the full moon once again, for those of you are interested, and equally for those of you who don't notice these things, or who pay as much attention to them as you would the shape of any particular cloud or the reflection of an attractive body in a pavement puddle. Oh come on, don't say you weren't looking up whilst looking down.

Being observant isn't the same as being suggestible, obviously, but if you can bring both of these qualities to bear at the same instant then you're really onto something. Those "random" synaptic blasts come up with the craziest shit, like putting a lighter-than-air inert gas on the menu of a NoHo café. Grilled helium cheese, eh, who'd have thunk it?

Celebrating The Bendy Nature Of Cheese

Cheese is bendy
Cheese is my friendy
If you have a need
I can lendy

Cheese is bendy
Do not be offendy
There is only cheese
Others are pretendy

Cheese is bendy
On that you may dependy
Put a stamp upon it
In the post sendy

Cheese is bendy
Cheese is trendy
If you have a hungry belly
Cheese is plendy

Cheese is bendy
Cheese club attendy
Meet other bendy people
That is the endy.

Dr Stilton pulled up a wooden chair and beckoned the surly, pale-faced boy to sit down. He did so, slumping as far down as he could without dropping onto the floor. His mother's eyebrows, long since removed and inscribed with a brittle pencil-line, vanished in permanent surprise into her hairline, giving her an expression of concern which bore no relation to the dead space of her frequently brutalised emotions.

"Open your mind," said the doctor in a professional monotone.

"We don't get it," said the mother, shaking her head.

"You will," said the doctor, reaching for the crackers.
