@weirdsatellite This map has all the makings of a great #bitcoin #heist #caper.

An older piece I posted on the Birdsite for a #vss365, but it makes me smile to read, so I am sharing it here:

“We need 3 more guys for the #caper. Someone flexible, a lookout good with animals & someone to handle the shuttle”
“So it’ll be another Farbius IV?”
“Exactly. But without the frogs & we won’t get caught this time.”
“Right. That was embarrassing.”
“Jail?”
“No, the frogs”

@Pjciam Thanks for the info about the song — now I want to see that movie! I don’t know what to think of the #autopen #caper —except it sounds like fraud. How much did Dylan know about it? Why did a reputable publisher do this— and think no one would ever know! S&S has a lot of ‘splaining’ to do! 😳

Luc and Avery, sweet and savoury, broke in the library late one night.
They came upon her, armed and ready, her precious book-hord to defend.
Mrs Charles, oh-so-papery called for them to stop this #caper-y jackanapery,
but on they ran - choosing how their story ends.

I have such a craving for savoury #crepes today. I don’t have the ingredients, but here is what the food side of my brain is demanding: thin hot #delicious #buttery pastries wrapped around a laminar centre of #chives or spring onion greens in cream cheese, a slab of smoked #salmon and maybe a #caper here and there for a little saltiness. And perhaps a thin shred of #endive so we can pretend it’s healthy.

Drittes angenehmes Mastodon-Feature:

Hier wird nix abgeschnitten. Hallo Insta, Fatzebuch und Co! Es wird nix abgeschnitten!

Deswegen in voller Länge ein wenig Werbung. Das müsst ihr aushalten. Sorry. Oder halt weiterscrollen. Auch okay.

Imagine a troop of monkeys
They scamper around your space ship
Adorable things
One stretches out near your cockpit
You step out for something
Your ship rumbles to life and sceams away into space

You were tricked by sentients you thought were far beneath you

To carry out this #caper against the Astradi, we must be those monkeys

We must appear harmless
Until we strike
And carry away the secrets of the universe

“So it’ll be another Farbius IV?”
“Exactly. But without the frogs & we won’t get caught this time.”
“Right. That was embarrassing.”
“Jail?”

I need to catch up to the current word!

It had been a daring #caper, to steal the symbols of royal office before the coronation. The thief didn't even bother asking why the wizard needed them. He had a job to do, the wizard likely enough, had to do the same thing. The only problem was now that he had the king's family jewels, the wizard was fuming at him. Weren't these the ones he had meant?
