Not Porn

Someone asked Vicki 'where do you get your ideas?'


In today's associative jamming/ruminating process, we discovered some group symmetries and found some shop names:

Seemingly, 2 northern ABCers are born under astrological water signs. Bear with me. Astrology isnt just for the simple minded. Its a great antidote to religion and an excellent parlour game. 2 southern ABCers are characterised as fire signs. Hence 'Fire & Ice' which prompted Len's recollection of the Robert Frost poem:

Fire and Ice

SOME say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.


Vicki muttered 'Wing & Prayer' and I wondered what kind of shop that would be. What would it sell? Vicki thought just one solitary wing, but maybe unlimited prayers. We ran with this.

If 4 astrologically susceptible women owned an online shop, and happened to be fire & water signs, what would they call it? 'Wet and Warm.' I reckon that sounds like a porn shop. So you'd have to make a point, especially if your shop is on the internet where apparently 40% of content is pornography, to state otherwise and so the shop would end up being: 'Wet & Warm: Not Porn!"

But all of this was taking us further and further away from the Victorian cutouts, or was it?

hmmm, and somebody suggested that fire&water makes a sauna. Well, it makes a steam room anyway.

How do you create steam in virtual space?

i think the shop 'wing and a prayer' would sell anything you could wish for

perhaps even the ability to create steam in virtual space ...

How is steam made?
Energy in steam is held both in heat and pressure. (If heat = dynamic attraction and pressure = plot). When heat is applied to a water molecule (where water = object of desire), the electrons (read 'avs') begin to move very rapidly around it. The change of state from a liquid (desire) to a gas (consummation) takes place when the energized, moving molecule of water takes to the air (moan) because of its quickly moving electrons (get out of the way!) The water molecule desirous) in air (sigh) stays away from other water molecules (mine, all mine). The distance between the molecules creates pressure (more plot development). When this pressure is released (denouement), energy (ephiphany)can be generated.
