that crusty old bookshop full of falling-over stacks

…stumbled on this little tidpit while doing some platypus research:

The Fantastically Baffling Story of the Greatest Time-Space Traveler That Ever Lived: Rip Tapioca, Marshal of the Time Stream and Leader of the Semi-Intelligent Cat Toys of Arcturus-5, With His Sidekick George of the Gelatin-Brains

other than that, not much new in the world of platypi, sadly enough. i almost went looking for new armadillo things. but that’s an old symbol, wanting dusting and a new coat of paint.

imagine: the www: a giant, badly-catalogued used bookstore with lots of errata and whatsits stuffed between the pages of books that had their pages cut out in order to store pistolas and gin and carrots. better than a web, or a wave, or a munchkin, “”””super(SNEER)highway””””…

it’s a bookstore that has parts of it constantly burning down too. and other parts being renovated at great speed. with lots of poorly chosen color and pattern combinations. art deco meets pastel heaven meets warren beatty on crack, or something.
