that's a good silence
>off to talk to cat
i had to work round a cat sitting in the depression where one pays for and
receives tickets at a station yesterday
the woman selling tickets said he was sulking because she wouldnt let him
finish her chocolate biscuits
yes, chocolate biscuits
and there he flopped, a dead weight, truly silent, averting his face from
us all, in an almost hysterical sulk, blocking trade with Diarrhea Trains
and no more than 8k of RAM, most of him ROM
