A Business Meeting With Chums
March 23rd, 2010
So, as it goes, that Geordies start and end sentences with the same words, I decided to call an emergency luncheon with two gentlemen to try and stop the slide of pouringbeans.com into obscurity.
“Mr Brek,” I shouted across the room, and immediately he saw who and what my purpose was, “over here,” I continued and then I added, “you div!” to which he burst into laughter like a raptor. When the tears had subsided we sat down and ordered two plates of coffee and half a bagel of juice. The morning was spiffing and all the more for it because it was breakfast. We engaged in idle banter whilst waiting for the third of our party to arrive and he did, as always, struggling to stand up with a girl on each arm. “Mr Charms,” I ordered like a whistle in a pantry, “over here,” and that is where I left my chant.
He stumbled up, rested his head on his hands and slurred nonsense for the next twenty minutes. We could always see through the facade – why bother? He’s clearly not what we’re looking for. Nonetheless his company was appreciated. When the cutlery was cleared away we had forgotten the reason for coming and said adieu in the nicest possible way that didn’t involve cider.

Either I’m going strange, or that was just nonesense.

It all makes sense. It makes more sense the more times you read it.
It also makes more sense everytime you send me five dollars.

This is a most peculiar business. No matter which way I rotate it, I just can’t fit it into my FEACE. I think it must be because this story has such an unusual shape.

It’s the hexadecimal ambiguities that impress me the most

Is it fractal at all? That would explain it.

I think so but don’t hold me to that. I wouldn’t, heh heh, wouldn’t want to be put in a, heh heh, position where I make THAT sort of faux pas.
Oh yeah sure, it’s fractal all over (but it’s not!). Imagine my feace!

I’ve told you before, I can’t imagine your feace, it’s the wrong alignment for my mind input tubes.

I think the more we mention the word FEACE the more Geordies will approach the site. Whether they approach with scorn or love in their eyes we cannot say.
… FEACE …
