William Gibson on… just read it. it’s funny.
Mild Bangkok Moment
This morning we had a small assembly and then a student written play about smoking. It was against smoking naturally. During the play one of the guys dressed up as a girl and the smoker was after her, after the play she then proceeded to dance to Donna Summers. Afterwards our Russian English teacher told the other teachers, she didn’t think he should be allowed to do that.
Anyway, 4 hours later I’m sitting in the computer room typing lesson plans when I look outside and another teenage khatoey in a gold dress is sitting with 3 other girls. At times, it’s hard not to love this town.

“Increase the cost on a Johnny or Timmy effect, and the card will still be played and enjoyed by many players. Increase the cost on a Spike effect too high, and the intended audience will just scoff at the card’s existence”
