Person Number Twelve.

by Jim Meirose.

So this random example of the typical human creature, raising their head to ‘he window barring out th’ invasion of ‘he outsides but which, luckily for most normal humans, th’ invention ot see-through “glass” which could be cheaply manufactured, made being cabined in to be safe from what may lie outside, but t’not be ignorant nipper of what’s outside it being large as hell to stay hidden and “yet see” {facilitated by this fine invention, glass} to see, but not be seen (in most cases, actually), hey— nip ‘he wheel? Oh wow, th’ overblown overrated wheel, eh ah ah eh, ‘tis snot’s himportant we mean eh ah ah himportant bu(h) now so S’nooch as glass, which most people are. More humans are inside inherently sneaky, than wanting to bus down ‘he road ridiculously rolling “upotopka” some wheel, I mean, come on! nip What percentage of a human life span’s spent hiding, being sneaky, as rolling on out o-er some space in nip nip nip ‘pper some so simple so simply stupid commonly grossly easily manufactured and driven wheeled vehicle? They both have five letters, and just one syllable but, they’re close, but, ha ha ha h ah No Cigar—uck, wheel is too easy, nip its for lazy pet-people, we mean, gah; two of its letters are th’ most commonly used letters in English, which cheapens it terribly terribly terribly, and, and, and, this led big-toppie to ponder ‘he following {which bee’ze mainluy equipped with th’ even more than useless facts and figures so low, ‘nd L-LOW, they don’t dare teach it in school and that’s saying any handsful as there nearly nothing else they get up and go teach into ‘he children of all ages inhabiting th’ “schools”, (y’ know) what’s right what’s right what’s right what’s right to te <a> ch ah to teach ah to nip teach ah to teach ‘he facts/figures involved are many and manifold not that old filthy Ford one down under t’ daddy’ heave widden’t knee-ven NO!

Court Jesters!             All Rise!

This next slate of statistics portrays all vitals necessary to compute th’ result if any debate as to whether ‘he invention of glass, or th’ discovery of ‘he wheel, bears greater importance.

Seek and ye shall find = / = Okay, so; you may use these facts and figures at your leisure to play at a game of seeing how many correctly calculated mathematical proofs you can generate to justify th’ dominance of wheel nip nip nip nipper over glass nip nip nip nipper or vice versa, and you will learn much much much of a useful nature of ‘he d(a)e(i o u a)e(iou)p characteristics of th’ right vs. wrong of a thing, (and also, of course, of ‘he wrong vs. right of that very “same” thing) that being that mozt anything can be proven falze, but not {reset z to s} everything can be found completely true, which nipper should be no surprise, since—th’ sin of nip nip nip nipper Adam3 and nip nip nip nipper Eve300 in their fear of a God-Garden instantly crippled all future humanity nip nip nip nipper with original sin which is punished by mankind being hobbled by a fallen nature, plus a propensity toward evil. And, we won’t go no dipla, there, leave it over to you and your TI-99(c) which no one still uses but turns a cute phrase which it is that ‘he answer is glass, since glass was not merely encountered in nature as was th’ wheel, where with pebbles, rocks, hailstones, hup! and other circulitational naturals, acting according ‘he law of gravity when placed on slant surfaces, whereas glass had to be thought of, learned about {as what were th’ ingredients going to be of this—} glass; and what was ‘he process of bringing these ingredients together in th’’ proper way {of which there may be an infinite number} of how t’ ‘ll’d they ge’ how to do it there does not seem to be a clue et cetera, but, ‘he real kicker is this. This simple sentence; “How to make glass.” Good sentence eh? (Juhla!) :please: thank you. Now here’s th’ same sentence with wheel replacing glass; “How to make wheel.” So—in which of these ‘s better?

Can’t tell? Really?

Really? Can’t tell?      

okay thank you that’s all oh yes ‘nd on your way out have Person Number Eleven come would you please O you’re a dear

That cult classic pirate/sci fi mash up GREENBEARD, by Richard James Bentley, is now a rollicking audiobook, available from Audible.com. Narrated and acted by Colby Elliott of Last Word Audio, you’ll be overwhelmed by the riches and hilarity within.

“Captain Sylvestre de Greybagges is your typical seventeenth-century Cambridge-educated lawyer turned Caribbean pirate, as comfortable debating the virtues of William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, and compound interest as he is wielding a cutlass, needling archrival Henry Morgan, and parsing rum-soaked gossip for his next target. When a pepper monger’s loose tongue lets out a rumor about a fleet loaded with silver, the Captain sets sail only to find himself in a close encounter of a very different kind.

After escaping with his sanity barely intact and his beard transformed an alarming bright green, Greybagges rallies The Ark de Triomphe crew for a revenge-fueled, thrill-a-minute adventure to the ends of the earth and beyond.

This frolicsome tale of skullduggery, jiggery-pokery, and chicanery upon Ye High Seas is brimming with hilarious puns, masterful historical allusions, and nonstop literary hijinks. Including sly references to Thomas Pynchon, Treasure Island, 1940s cinema, and notable historical figures, this mélange of delights will captivate readers with its rollicking adventure, rich descriptions of food and fashion, and learned asides into scientific, philosophical, and colonial history.”

Newport Public Library hosted a three part Zoom series on Visionary Fiction, led by Tod.  

And we love them for it, too.

The first discussion was a lively blast. You can watch it here. The second, Looking Back to Look Forward can be seen here.

The third was the best of all. Visions of the Future, with a cast of characters including poets, audiobook artists, historians, Starhawk, and Mary Shelley. Among others. Link is here.

SNOTTY SAVES THE DAY is now an audiobook, narrated by Last Word Audio’s mellifluous Colby Elliott. It launched May 10th, but for a limited time, you can listen for free with an Audible trial membership. So what are you waiting for? Start listening to the wonders of how Arcadia was born from the worst section of the worst neighborhood in the worst empire of all the worlds since the universe began.

If you love audio books, don’t miss the new release of REPORT TO MEGALOPOLIS, by Tod Davies, narrated by Colby Elliott of Last Word Audio. The tortured Aspern Grayling tries to rise above the truth of his own story, fighting with reality every step of the way, and Colby’s voice is the perfect match for our modern day Dr. Frankenstein.

Tod on the Importance of Visionary Fiction

Check out this video of “Beyond Utopia: The Importance of Fantasy,” Tod’s recent talk at the tenth World-Ecology Research Network Conference, June 2019, in San Francisco. She covers everything from Wind in the Willows to the work of Kim Stanley Robinson, with a look at The History of Arcadia along the way. As usual, she’s going on about how visionary fiction has an important place in the formation of a world we want and need to have.
