This Week's Special:

Andrew has a new rental-agreement on life. At 33, he has been diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed legal speed. He has found a job and his house has never been cleaner. To-do-list complete and a day early, thank you, he invites friends over for bbq - dudes cluster around Weber.

It is a little chimney thing that has gone fwoosh. It sits on Weber's grill, sitting over fire-starters like chicken over eggs. Mid chimney, a grate carries Heat Beads Easy-Lite BBQ Briquettes. There is some debate as to what it is called.

'A chimney.'

'A flue.'

'A slömn.'

The fire goes out.

'Not a slömn.'

The fire resumes.

'Ok, the damned thing is sentient.'

Technically the Not a Slömn is no more sentient than any publicly available artificial intelligence. The Not Slömn cannot answer questions or compose music which only machine, not artist, could perform and not be cringe. The Thing That is Not A Slömn is, however, always listening and chimes in with uptick or downturn of flames. Its opinion, regarding whether idea is genuine innovation or dumbfuckery tinted by THC, is perfect.

That market is Frankie.

Frankie did one too many push-ups and so caught a cold. It was not bad enough to call-in sick but her body slowed and her focus slurred. She popped a two-month expired Panadol. She jotted her mind's meanderings over the day, some of which proved useful.

Water flows and so does time. The Time Wheel is like a hydroelectric power-plant, a turbine hooked up to wheel(s) spun by flow of time instead of water. Dammed time flows slower in its vicinity until it flows faster, which takes some time (ha!) getting used to. Frankie did not get government approval for any of this.

Black Market Electricity is cheaper than that offered through public infrastructure and less damaging for the environment. Because there is no technology used beyond extent of law that consumes significant energy, consumers must individually launder their electricity. This is done by jail-breaking some kinds of solar panel. The consumer will also need their own extension cords.

That market is Cheese.

Cheese decided to try something different so they bought a gallon drum of dry ice. The idea was to put the C4 inside the drum and slow any chemical reactions. When Cheese lifted the bomb by its wires, the wires came out. The Bomb Begone spit out a box of eight Condom Make Penis Bigger.

Condom Make Penis Bigger (CMPB) are condoms which, when equipped on a penis, increases said penis' length 12% and girth 18%. The target market for CMPB has a penis and wants said penis to be momentarily larger. Market data is incomplete but suggests that this want occurs when penis is already larger. More research is needed, but preliminary findings suggest that want of larger penis correlates with condom use. Also water bombs.

Cheese is not that market. Cheese wondered whether wrapping a bomb in CMPB would contain explosion in condom's elasticity. Then Cheese considered possibility of CMPB engorging improvised explosives. Cheese has a day job, so Cheese opts to sell the condoms. Cheese did not, but should, ask what happens when a Condom Makes Penis Bigger breaks.

That market is Andrew.
