Loco Brain on lead-laden plastics
So you know the story? (Wako didn't, but a tank could drive down Broadway (there's a Broadway in every town, even the City of Night) before he knew there's a war on -- so you've heard Mattel, the toy recalls? Trish's new Dirt Devil Featherlite contains lead. Not just the nerdy little guy who turns into a man-thing with a beautiful mind, but the life-threatening chemicals & elements. Plastic. Black. Vacuum.
Owning a dangerous machine can be frightening. Trish is afraid to use the thing; anxiety compounded with dread: fear & loathing leads to trepidation & nausea. Trepidation & nausea lead to savage dread. Savage dread leads to the Dark Side. Beware the Dark Side of the Source!
Inspired by this same Savage Dread, sometime after we discovered the Truth I decided to tip off the news media. Wrote a short note to CNN.com, copied-&-pasted it into FoxNews & NBC. I thought that was Kool. Vacuum cleaner manufacturers have no business selling dangerous products.
Then Fearless Taco called. I decided to discuss the situation with him.
--But you see, Lead, lead in plastics is fairly common, & a warning should be sufficient.
Bullshit! Taco sounds like he's trying to be a corporate lawyer defending the worst sorts of corporate greed. & he doesn't even have a law degree. Not even from Bozo U.
The conversation with Ed went a little more smoothly. He acknowledged the problem -- like how many people actually read the warnings? Or wash their hands after using the vacuum? -- & he certainly agrees that the Bush administration is the abomination of desolation. (Not really. The X-ian myth here is history, not prophecy. Already happened. No rapture. God? But you see, Fearless Taco, my Catholic brother, a Maker can be explained by adding a Made Maker... infinite regress, to the absurd.
The rest of the conversation with Loco Brains went fairly well, excepting that he's an arrogant snob. We agreed that John-George might like the Star Wars art on the cover of F&SF. At least there are no busty Amazons.
Wait a second... Amazons are Kool. Just need to reduce the cup size down a couple notches. If/when the Hog ever gets drawn, Rebbecca Church will be portrayed as an androgynous alchemical symbol, & the author will remain anonymous. & numinous. Divine intervention, deus ex machina... Dawn must escape from Pluto somehow.
So that she can exist on Earth, daughter, sister, niece & aunt... but no mother.
& the mirror-scene frees you.
