Apr. 12th, 2006 10:03 amWe became somehow aware that humanity was not alone in the universe, and that other intelligent life was reachable via long-range zeppelin. In honour of this, the City of Toronto built a massive structure; part city landmark, part launching pad for said long-range zeppelin. It was huge and looked like a giant corndog, so big that it dwarfed the CN Tower and it seemed to be right next to you even when you were miles away from it. It was supposedly visible from space when you were an hour away from Earth.
It also looked completely ridiculous. I mean, it was an upright zeppelin on a long pole. Walking with my friend, an older fellow who had devised some sort of universal translator and implanted it into his brain, I commented on how silly it was.
"It's a good thing they built it," I said, "Because if the aliens landed in Toronto and the first thing they saw was the CN Tower, they might think that we were obsessed with phallic symbols. Now this, on the other hand, looks nothing like a giant penis."
But my friend was preoccupied, because every time he passed by a pay phone, it would start to glow, and then he would start to glow, and he realized it was because the phones had somehow shorted out his universal translator, and it the aliens did land and want to talk to us, we'd be well and truly fucked.
Phones are demonic and ought to be banned, especially when they ring at 4 am, waking me from my lovely steampunk penis dreams. People who phone at 4 am will be first up against the wall come the revolution.

My dreams have been quite bizarro lately, but generally lacking sufficient coherence to record.
