The Elders of WLBOTT are in near-continuous communications, so that we may respond immediately to twine-related emergencies and issues of shareholder value.

We present highlights from recent exchanges.

And if you are doing mindless toilet cleaning, put headphones on and listen to this on volume 11

UC#4 => UC#3

I have always confused Buffy St. Marie with Buffalo Springfield.



Stream of Consciousness based on Rusty Water

[UC#3’s water has a high iron concentration. ]

UC#4 => UC#3

Reading about the iron in your water reminded me, oddly, of my first office mate. He was a retired B52 pilot who smoked unfiltered Pall Malls non-stop. I guess he had a right to be nervous.  Anyhow, the sweat stains on his shirt had a brown-orange tint from all nicotine he ingested.

Interesting picture of the soil liquification. At least there was no pancaking. Hopefully nobody was hurt, but can you imagine waking up and everything is at a 30 degree angle?
========
I've put a great deal of thought into capturing human-generated methane for fuel, but I ran into a problem trying to resolve the issue with the 2nd law of thermodynamics - is the generated methane limited in energy to the calorie content of the food?
========
Any new insights on the possum yarn?  UC#2 has always been fascinated by possums, and thru him I learned the following trivia (need to be fact-checked):
    • female possums have 13 teats 
    • possums have the smallest brain-to-body ratio of any mammal 
    • reaching terminal velocity is not fatal to possums. In other words, a possum can be dropped out of helicopter and survive the fall 
As always, your humble servant,
- UC#4

UC#3 => UC#4

I believe you have crafted the first manuscript ever to simultaneously include the words/phrases:
    • Possum teats
    • Liquefaction
    • B-52
    • Terminal velocity
    • 2nd Law of Thermodynamics 
    • Patriarchy 
    • Brain-to-body ratio
Congratulations!

Culinary Adventures

UC#1 => UC#4

I defer to you for all things Texan. Does this seem in any way to be an authentic reproduction of any Texas dish?

Does Texas even have chickens? Or did they all cross the road into Mexico?

UC#4 => UC#1

I think I'm more concerned that you and Spousal Unit are buying chicken that is only 30% fresh. 



That being said, the secret Texas ingredient is:

Went to Japanese and Chinese grocery stores this morning to get stuff.  Got mochi to clog our throats, char su, inari skins and some more desirable items for pigs and blankets. 

Ended up cleaning out the fridge instead of tamales and  went with eggs, sausage, hash browns, croissants and jalapeño:cheese corn muffins.  Doubt anyone will eat it - [redacted], [redacted] and [redacted] are not breakfast people. But didn’t want things to rot in fridge.

[UC#3]

Happy New Year!  I’ll be making Hoppin’ John (black-eyed peas and rice), corn bread and Inari sushi but skipping the ozoni.

Here’s a short demo of the robot my son built. And it can be published if appropriate.

Company Policy

UC#4 => UC#1

The reason WLBOTT does not post about Tesla is because I have a neighbor whom I suspect may be Elon Musk and I don't want to antagonize him.

The reason I suspect he is Elon Musk is because:
    • he has an emotional support armadillo
    • has had a Dodge Dart up on blocks since the '80s
    • often sits on his porch eating raw potatoes and complaining about solar eclipses

Thanks for your understanding,
[UC#4]

Leave No Turn Unstoned

And to leave no turn unstoned, I asked Chat to connect the prompts:

Possum, Liquefaction, B-52, Terminal velocity, 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, Patriarchy, Brain-to-body ratio

Given that these words and phrases appeared in a single email, it’s possible that they may be related to a specific context or subject discussed in the email. Without more information, it’s challenging to identify a clear pattern. If there are specific details or context about the email’s content that you can share, it might help uncover any connections between these seemingly disparate elements.

The AI image generators weren’t so picky. here are some images based on the prompt:
