.....and what else, dazzlenation?...well, the following reminded me of what mcdonald had attempted to program into the system - shanghai 2003...."old man jo" etc etc....except that he had considerable difficulty in doing so..."it won't take it for some reason" etc etc....lol...with a sidelong glance at 'minecraft' and katakana etc etc....anyway, mcdonald had said "we can program him as a yoyo" whilst holding up a yellow yoyo etc etc...oh and there's a plant reference to....CF et al as 'sticky willy'...grandma clayton used to call it 'goose grass'....go figure:

yoyo, anybody?..shana might like to take a look....hmmm...i'm getting 'alma and tomahawk' regarding the second from the left...the first  one being used for 'activate' and the last one for 'cancel command'....mcdonald didn't want to use 'abort' for some reason..."the system might pick that up" etc etc...oh and caitlyn had said "i want to be jinmeiyō kanji!"...hmmm....something around yoyoing a 'genie' backwards...she-can-yo-my-genie....rather than the more traditional 'time-keeper' role etc etc....see previous post:

'string theory' for the simple-minded?...hmmm...had they begun to think that nir might 'breakaway'?..."you just hit them on the back" - mcdonald had said...whilst caitlyn collapsed with laughter..."teach me how to do that!":

ah, now this gets more interesting...remember toddy talking about how he had to get onto a trapeze, late 60s - blackheath...."we're all on a train!"...carousels of trapezes, on strings - snaking/flying around the world etc etc..and well, i was having none of it - see previous notes upon that recurring dream...refusing to get onto a trapeze...cutting the strings etc etc....in order to go and search for my parents...go figure:

oh and then there's pinwheels...when it comes back and hits you in the face - lol..and yes, i  can remember emet telling me...."you'll have to learn how to do that - hit her as hard as you can - then..." get onto that computer and etc etc....more laughter...fun 'n' games in the teachers' lab, at shanghai jiao tong - 2003 etc etc:
