I'd like to use this pace for miscellaneous matters that don't fit elsewhere

Thanks

Uncorked! The Trojan Penguin is uncorked! If I hadn't uncorked it soon it may well have exploded before New Year's. Uncounted, surely UNcounted inebriated Kiwis came popping & tumbling out... I'm so tired from my Xmas festivities I'll just gather them up in this huge fishing net & dunk them several times in the ocean ... I'm sorry they aren't dry-cleanable... 

As soon as we are able to clean it out, we could turn the Trojan Penguin into a little semi-submersible. It does float rather well, so it would be a shame to not take advantage of that quality. Maybe I'll remove an oval of it's front, & insert a thick piece of glass, so we will have a glass-bellied sub-boat.. something like that. I'll add some hinges at the ankles so the feet can be rudders, along with it's tail, which really wouldn't get us very far as by itself. Cork goes back in, & another can be fitted to the back of t's head... front & back door, you know ... & away we go!

Zoom!

What wonderful, ingenious plans MK! It sounds like you would be creating a glass-bottomed boat. Such things have been used as tourist attractions to show tourists what’s under the ocean’s surface. We could start a new tourist attraction from the iceberg!

 I will get my team of stingrays to put on their most elaborate underwater synchronised swimming display. Tourists will come from afar to see it. And imagine their fascination if they could see an inebriated kiwi suspended underwater! My stingrays could pick them up each time they look like they’re going to sink to the bottom, bring them up for air and then let them float under the converted Trojan penguin again. No one will have ever seen underwater kiwis before, suspended in a kind of inebriated trance state. It will be kind of peaceful and mesmerising to watch, like a most unusual meditation.

We could build a ticketing and tourist office on the iceberg run by penguins who will then guide tourists onto the converted Trojan vessel. It will be the most unique holiday experience for travellers.

What do you think MK?!

What do I think?

I think I'll need a bigger Trojan Penguin... or a Trojan Whale ... to transform into submersibles, of-course. Or maybe a bunch of smaller schools of Trojan Fishes, all as synchronised as the sparkling Synchronised Stingrays.

& we'll need some scuba gear for the Kiwis.

That's what I think.

Professor Porpoise has advised he can manufacture some mini scuba gear for the kiwis. They will probably float about in a very ad hoc way which will be a contrast with the synchronised stingrays. It will be like theatre of the absurd. We can advertise the kiwi underwater show as an otherworldly, postmodern, avant garden experience. It may attract arty types who then write critiques of the performance in arty magazines, which will encourage even more people to visit the iceberg. People will write papers and books about it! Then someone will probably want to make a movie - "Kiwis of the Deep". I hope Croix is ready for the influx!

EfFe has just texted me, offering to not just emulate but surpass the great Ester williams's marvelous artistic swimming, which I'm sure will be an essential feature of Kiwis of the Deep.

I have visions of an artistic extravaganza/surrealist theatre of the absurd/horror masterpiece.

We would be honours if you, Alister Croix would introduce & provide audio description, & if possible, explanation where necessary, so everyone will be able to enjoy this film now & for centuries to come. I mean, as with so much these days, it will end up on the interne ... forever, & be accessible for as long as the internet does not become obsolete.

What a mind-boggling thought - what ever will anthropologists, (or apologists), will make of Kiwis of the Deep? Will they think this is a 'time capsule', representing our culture at this present time?

Mk, you have just made me chuckle out loud 🤣 Imagine the look on the viewers' faces as they are first mesmerised by floating kiwis, and then all of a sudden an elephant enters the scene. But not just any elephant, the truly elegant, most exquisite of elephants in the form of EfFe. I wonder if she will be wearing an underwater tutu?  I do hope Croix can provide his expert voiceover for this most profound cinematic experience!

We will need a sturdy diving board, floating & motorised for EfFE, who will indeed have her haurte couture costume, with tule skirt, in dazzling rainbow colours, & a golden finned helmet/swim cap, & flashing lights on her tights, & long gloves, & on her trunk sleeve, too.

Not over-the-top, is it?

Dear Croix,

I’m not sure if that is a yes or no? 🙂

I was thinking you would have the profundity of tone to convey the sheer beauty and bizarreness or floating kiwis and elephants.

But we could make the visuals speak for themselves perhaps, which may make it even more avant garde and likely to be a cult classic.

I think we are going to go down in history MK for creating weird cinema. And I don’t think EfFE’s requirements are too over-the-top. She is truly a showgirl and that will add a kind of charm to our postmodern creation.

This may make the iceberg famous for decades to come. People will travel to see where Kiwis of the Deep was made, just as people go to visit the hobbit houses from Lord of the Rings. You will have hordes of visitors for years to come Croix and you can charge a fee for them to set foot on the iceberg. You will be so wealthy you can have gold-plated tusks. Hmmm, that in itself might attract tourists too, the walrus with golden tusks!

So many ideas to implement!

Alright, let the players & performers all personally describe what they are doing, as they are doing it, so I will at least have a small, (very small), hope in h.e.l.l. of knowing what the h.e.l.l. is going on. But I would like if Alister Croix would give an armchair introduction & a post screening review & critique.

&, so Alistair Croix is afforded the best vantage point from which to view the movie, I will have his armchair affixed to a large turntable atop the highest peak on the iceberg. He'll have a full 360° view & all the clam shells he can throw.
