Mindless entertainment

posted in Illnesses, Pop Culture |

When you’re sick, and your brain is fuzzy and bleary, you generally sleep and seek out mindless entertainment.  I am trying to keep various space navy stratagems firmly in mind while reading my latest Honor Harrington book, but The Illness keeps me falling asleep instead.

So, off to the intertubes for mindless entertainment.

And I find…

…in all its glory…

…I present…

The Disintegrator!

Our world is a very, very interesting place when there are people who will spend four months lovingly hand-building something like this.

At least this keeps me from having to come up with something intelligent to say to Our Fearless Leader’s plan to "stimulate" the economy (sliding into the crapper as we speak!) by handing out tax rebates.  Ya think that people who are worried that their house is about to be foreclosed on will find a $300 check…stimulating?

    I’ll help stimulate Wally World etc. $300 won’t pay many overdue bills but spent in Wally world it’ll once again stir the economy into just semi recession. (c;}All pols want us to think they’re worried about “us”, when all they are actually worried about is getting reelected…Cynical? Yep. Extremely.

    You should know that it took three tries to open your blog this AM (Sunday) & Siteground even said “ain’t no such” even after I used their search function.

    I love Honor Harrington. And that disintegrator? Too cool. But the inventor has waaaaaay too much time on his hands.

    Feel better.
