savour the whales!


some of those guys are pretty creepy. like the anatomist.

"It should serve as a masterpiece for better appreciation of whales and the need to protect them. If I were invited to perform the plastination, I would do it, with dedication and love."

his proposition being to slice it at put it to display. sounds like a serial killer that guy. 😀

His name was actually Jonah. I heard the faith whales sing a sad song about him.

"Now, Jonah was a good straight whale to begin with, but there was bad blood In him; someway he got into the magic bullets and that leads straight to Devil's work, just like marijuana leads to heroin; you think yo u can take Them bullets or leave 'em, do you?
Just save a few for your bad days

Well, now, we all have those bad days when you can't shoot for ****.

The more of them magics you use, the more bad days you have without them. So it comes down finally to all your days being bad without the bullets It's magics or nothing. Time to stop chippying around and kidding yourself, Kid, you're hooked, heavy as lead.

And that's where old Jonah found himself
Out there at the crossroads
Molding the Devil's bullets
Now a man figures it's his bullets, so it will
Hit what he wants to hit
But it don't always work that way

You see, some bullets is special for a single aim
A certain stag, or a certain person
And no matter where you are, that's where the bullet will end up
And in the moment of aiming, the gun turns into a dowser's wand
And point where the bullet wants to go

(Jonah Schmid was moving in a series of convulsive spasms, like someone with an epileptic fit, with his face distorted and his eyes wild like a lassoed horse bracing his legs. But something kept pulling him on. And now he is picking up the skulls and making the circle.)

I guess old Jonah didn't rightly know what he's getting himself into
The fit was on him and it carried him right to the crossroads "

I think this is what Iain Sinclair was trying to get at--the confused instinct that made the whale seek out its death barge, throwing the Queen's animal keepers into confusion. (The comments about swans are particularly amusing).

"Pocahontas & the Whale" should make for cheery Disney viewing.
