The internet as a series of tubes:
arbitrary aardvark>
boingboing>
laughing squid>
billboard liberation>
infiltration>
>my first 8 drains by ninjalicious:
I resolved to bring a hat and a marker next time. In spite of such obstacles, it was tempting to continue further and further up Metal Cave, because we had a suspicion that this drain's Really Cool Thing would turn up just a few meters beyond the point where we gave up. The sad fact is that drains often don't end well. They go on forever, or they just get really small. Very rarely is there a big checkered flag and a trophy waiting for you at the end. And the rooms full of naked women are really few and far between. The reward really has to be in the doing, rather than in the completion.
Meanwhile, today I went rollerskating and to a vietnamese grocery warehouse and dropped off my car at the backyard mechanic and am waiting for him to bring it back.
