Random delusion

[apollinav]

While I was out saving the planet (you’re welcome), I received a message that I had successfully saved 25 square miles of rainforest. 
It left me thinking, ‘huh’ – intelligent, I know.

I imagine several bulldozers lining up, their smokestacks pumping thick sooty exhaust into the skies, while acres of lush tropical jungle lies uprooted and in waste behind them. 

One man speaks up, “Oi. We can’t bulldoze that. That’s AV’s land.”

A foreman scratches his head and consults a map. “I think you’re right.”

“And I know AV clearly said she wanted that bit saved.”

“Right lads, this bit here is AV’s – bulldoze around it.”

 

So, since I clearly saved the land, and paid to do so, I think that entitles me to some property ownership rights. I’m thinking about bulldozing a bit of it and putting in a nice imaginary house on my imaginary land. Once the house is finished I’ll invite you all over for a party.

LOL!

If it's just imaginary, why not build a mansion and hire a staff to maintain it. Then you can lounge by the pool, eat bonbons and read fanfiction all day. ;)

LOL

At first glance I read this as "eat baboons"......

[clairvoyant12.livejournal.com]

And what's wrong with that? Their colorful little bottoms are chock-full of protein. ;)

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

Aren't they endangered? Might be because they're so tasty. Yum...baboons.

Now doesn't that sound divine?

I'll just have to figure out how I'm going to split my time, what with trips to my ski challet in Switzerland and my safari retreat in Africa. Oh who am I kidding? We both know I'll be hanging out in my New York penthouse.

*sigh* The heavy burden of an armchair jetsetter.

Why am I suddenly thinking of the beginning to A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

You know I hadn't thought of that, but you're absolutely right.

Are you playing on FB? I hope my tract of saved rainforest is right beside yours. We can listen to parrots in the evening together! And, that way, at least one of them will STILL HAVE TREES ON IT! :D

[mischievous-t.livejournal.com]

Hey! What about me?

*wanders off to Facebook

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

What about you? You're coming, right?

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

No actually, but that does remind me that I haven't logged into FB in several weeks...months - something like that. Ugh, I'm now dreadding what's there.

...

OK - quick check of FB says that I've saved 117 sq feet of rainforest. Sounds pretty dodgy to me. So let's schmoosh them together.

Sounds like a blast. Am I invited?

Love Sonia :)

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! I wouldn't have it any other way.

Oi! Make sure you put in air conditioning. It gets hot and muggy in the rain forest. :)

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

No kidding. Good point. And really it's so worth the investment. *grins* I shall get on it right now - along with lots of lazily turning hanging fans.

[christev.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess when I turn, it's kind of lazy...
:D
