Burnt to the ground

Something bad reminding me of something honest and good. Ironic.

While watching the news last night on Nightline, I was shocked to learn that the Aardman Animation Studios had burnt to the ground, destroying three floors of plasticine including my dear childhood mate, Morph [.mov].

The Wallace & Gromit empire luckliy escaped as two of the models used for the movie are on tour promoting the movie, and the sets and storyboards were elsewhere. Older storyboards, original drawings, wooden sets, paperwork, awards, news articles and other memorabilia from the films Chicken Run and Creature Comforts went up in flames, along with Morph. Go buy the DVD.


Orange Guy and Morph... long lost cousins!??

Recovery

Recently, friends of mine and plenty of others have had their vehicles stolen, stuff ripped off or my stuff gone walkies. I of course do not tolerate this and my wrath awaits the perpetrator/s.


Good news though, all vehicles have been recovered by police but the owners are selling their vehicles. A bittersweet pill.

A lot is to be said about karma. "It just doesn't feel the same", "Ive been violated by this". The vehicle carries a hindering bad memory and most of them feel its better to get rid of it and buy a new car.

Maybe this is the REAL story behind Herbie? It's posessed by a disgruntled former owner.

Of course there are much more creative ways to get rid of a car, than selling it at auction or driving it over a cliff.
