a room
29 November, 2004 
Comments Off is there a room booked, said sponge, is there?
a room, said breadroll, who thought of that? a room. booked. o dear.
block of wood examined the pavement. still something stuck, he said, we should consider our options.
stuck, said breadroll, options. well, we could use our fingernails.
this is it, said block of wood, none of us has fingernails.
that should be discussed in further detail, said sponge, at least the discussion of the issue in further detail should be made part of an agenda of issues and items to be possibly discussed in the course of a decent meeting.
that is a very agreeable position indeed, said breadroll.
we should sit down, said block of wood, can you confirm that?
they sat down.
activities
26 November, 2004 Comments Off what time is the meeting at?
soon. or maybe it’s postponed.
sponge and breadroll starred at something stuck to the pavement. block of wood poured tea, added milk. sponge scratched himself behind his left ear. breadroll pointed out that they, the ears as he clarified, were somehow asymmetrical. sponge and block of wood refreshed his memory.
that was subject to discussion a while ago, actually, they said.
block of wood had a sip. whether anyone wanted tea, he asked.
breadroll and sponge did not want tea and told him so. sponge starred at something else stuck to the pavement.
the amount of stuff stuck to the pavement, he said, unreal.
yea, mad isn’t it, said breadroll.
tea meeting
25 November, 2004 Comments Off in actual fact, said sponge, i have heard they had plenty of meeting while we were away.
we are not there yet, said block of wood.
to be precise, said breadroll, we haven’t even started to walk in factual act.
i know, said sponge, the motion ban. we could go though.
we could, said block of wood.
will we, said breadroll.
we shall, said sponge, after the meeting.
not a man with a sheep again, no?
no.
tea?
sponge eyes
24 November, 2004 Comments Off sponge eyes are brown-yellowish. using them correctly will not only enable sponge to spot a speck on the wall but will constitute an exciting new visionary experience in itself.
my eyes are fine said sponge, i am well able of having clear visions.
let get excited, said block of wood.
spontaneously, said breadroll.
they poured tea and added milk.
we haven’t had a meeting in a while, said sponge.
perhaps you can give me an update
23 November, 2004 Comments Off and, said breadroll, you certainly heard something in that direction?
what do you mean, said sponge.
not the, said breadroll, other direction?
i think, said block of wood, he means because of your asymmetrical ears, because they are asymmetrical, it may have been some other direction, perhaps.
or a different direction, said breadroll.
i see, said sponge.
what about your eyes, said breadroll.
ashes to ashes
22 November, 2004 Comments Off you should not have burnt the sheep, said block of wood.
you should not have burnt the man, said breadroll.
i know, said block of wood, that wasn’t nice at all.
he struggled quite a bit, said sponge.
he did, said block of wood, didn’t he.
he did, said sponge.
it is today we are meant to walk again, said breadroll, as in move about, or tomorrow.
tomorrow, said sponge, i heard something in that direction. then again, i could be terribly wrong, my ears are asymmetrical. the instructions in this respect are rather unclear.
it is flat
19 November, 2004 Comments Off did you know it was an inflatable sheep, said sponge.
no, said block of wood, did you?
no, said breadroll, me neither. but it smoked alright.
-flate: de & in
i hope it was a low fat fag, said sponge.
fat sheep are not a pleasant sight, said block of wood.
no they’re not. not at all they are, said sponge.
i agree, the man said, if you are interested in an agreement. shall i deflate it a bit?
one for all
17 November, 2004 Comments Off we should not be so caught up with this sheepery, said sponge.
not at all, said block of wood. they watched breadroll talking to the sheep and seemingly having a great conversation. eventually breadroll offered the sheep a cigarette.
kinds of sheep
16 November, 2004 Comments Off inflatable sheep, matetable sheep, suitable sheep, goutable sheep.
fluffy sheep, scruffy sheep.
sheep that open, sheep that close, sheep that hopen, sheep so gross.
shall we go, said breadroll.
we can’t, said sponge.
i see, said breadroll.
tea anyone, said block of wood.
tribe, you and all
15 November, 2004 Comments Off a tribunal, said sponge.
indeed, said breadroll.
silence.
so, you’re back, said block of wood, didn’t expect you around for a while. not for a while anyway.
i find you guys amusing, said silence, what are you up yo?
not much, said breadroll, i asked for a tribunal.
those tribes are so 20th century, said silence, mimicing is it these days, as in me and youscum.
oh, said breadroll, tusculum.
also a very nice word, said silence.
they stared at a little piece of gravel right beside the sheep.
query as in q
12 November, 2004 Comments Off i should take the sheep back, the man said.
the man had hidden behind various items, hence breadroll, sponge and block of wood did not notice him and — to honour the old days, to mark the occasion — threw in the occasional comment.
gosh, we didn’t notice you, said sponge.
googolly not at all, said block of wood.
there you are, said breadroll.
did you know where he had been, said sponge.
no, said breadroll, i wish to have a sheep tribunal.
something with eggs
10 November, 2004 Comments Off lined up they sat on the kerbstone.
we should have done something with eggs, said block of wood, they are so symbolic.
i don’t know, said sponge, i am not too sure about the company’s stance in this respect. i shall find out for you once we get there.
are we going, said breadroll.
no, said the others.
eggs perhaps
5 November, 2004 Comments Off maybe we should do something with eggs, said sponge.
eggs?
eggs are valueable assets, said block of wood, and rather useful. they are more than a sex symbol for starters.
really?
really.
i take it that you don’t need the sheep then, the man said.
others went before
4 November, 2004 Comments Off shall we go, said sponge, motionless
let’s go, said breadroll. he does not move.
we can’t, said block of wood.
why not, said breadroll.
just because, said block of wood. besides, he said, others went before us and see where it got them. he pointed at the man.
motion ban, said sponge.
i see, said breadroll.
what, said sponge.
the man is closing up the sheep, said breadroll, fair enough i suppose. he has been here for quite a while.
still off the move
3 November, 2004 Comments Off bottom line is, said sponge, we’re still stuck here at this corner.
due to the motion ban, said breadroll.
and the ban on movements, said block of wood.
that as well, said sponge.
would you like another sheep, the man said, or at least a ewe stand to put it on?
breadroll blues
2 November, 2004 Comments Off i usually get depressed, said breadroll, usually, not always though. commercials just get to me.
and now? is it the case now?
no, not too bad, said breadroll, then again … but no, there were definitely deeper depressions in the past. fully featured, tears, hysterical outbursts, letters to the editor.
what shall we do with him?
who, said breadroll.
him?
no idea, said breadroll.
who is he anyway?
vaguely i seem to remember, said breadroll, he appears to be just a man who had brought us a sheep. we didn’t order a sheep.
the others?
sponge did not, said breadroll, certainly, and block of wood definitely didn’t.
what is he doing?
he’s petting the sheep, said breadroll, but personally i think it is not a proper sheep at all.
we will get to the bottom of that, the man said.
backing and breaks
i’m back, the man said.
so you are, said sponge.
i told you i’ll be back, the man said, didn’t i?
no, you did not, said breadroll.
well, maybe not expressively, the man said.
[customer information: advertising city breaks, return procedures, recurring events and repeated payment holiday periods].
i’m always a little bit confused after commercial breaks, said sponge.
so am i, said block of wood.
