fly in a cork Just back from an evening at Geordie's: a sort of mini party on his new top floor. It's weird up there. Very dark. Loads of little calor gas heaters scattered about, but they only heat up their own surrounding airspace, the result being that the room is so hot then so cold then so hot again that you feel - when you walk about - as if you're passing through airlocks into different dimensions: which, if you're stoned enough, you sort of are. Geordie entertained us for a while - in one of these dimensions
- with his Fly In A Cork game, which goes as follows... Step one: Catch a fly (there's no shortage of these at Geordie's). Step two: Thread some cotton through an ultra thin needle and make a substantal knot at the end. Step three: Push the needle through the fly, being careful not to (a) kill it or (b) fuck up its wing mechanism.
Step four: Push the needle into the cork on a wine bottle, place the wine bottle on the floor, then everyone sits around it, watching the fly perform mini aerobatics. Geordie had a strobe. It was amazing.
I came up with derivatives
of Geordie's Fly In A Cork game. There's Wasp
Versus Fly, Watch
That Flame, and Whirling
Fly Dervish. The best one though - and I've got a score of two metres
for it - is World's
Strongest Fly. See you tomorrow.
