i just walked past somebody photocopying a ream of tedious office documentation and i realised that that particular sweet burnt sterilised carbon smell is what i secretly imagine the end of the world will smell like.
what do you think it will smell like? (what's the future tense of a smell? like vision but olfactory)

when I was a kid I had these radio thingimajigs my uncle gave me that I used to be able to pick up aircraft comms and emergency service frequencies, it was pretty flakey old equipment with those bulbs inside and quite dusty, occasionally it would start to give off this putrid burning metallic/electrical smell - that is what the end of the world will smell like, possibly similar to your copier. But mixed with a hint of that crystalline honey smell that winos give off.

George Jetson was a lie!

George Jetson was a con-trick to make cold war America invest in technologies of war, the A-Bomb, and post-Fordist models of the working environment. Human subjugation to friendly ballistic missiles and technololgies of control.

a spy nah, I think the term is 'geek', he's one of those types that bought a betamax the day it came out, created a garden taken up entirely by a raised carp pond and had pet snakes. one of those people that could actually do something with a sinclair other than play DigDug
