Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from December 12, 2019 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

as ducks go, you have to love the Northern Shoveler. (would make a good band name). I think those sorts of ducks are shellfish diggers (hence the name, and just look at that bill) but i think as eating goes (apologies to anyone who doesn't like eating birds) that makes them, well, a little fishy

Had to check on Zapple, just in case it was another implanted memory. It did exist but was banned because they used formaldehyde to speed up the fermenting process.
