Where's my fucking jet pack?

[carmen_lj]

A question asked frequently, and quite a lot, at this year's Redemption, amongst many other places. There was even a panel devoted to the subject.

Today's Scottish news headlines have just informed me that here is your jetpack. Possibly you will not be getting it right now unless you rush to Knockhill and thieve it. Which is A Bad Plan. But, yay, jetpacks! He's racing it against an Aston Martin this weekend; it'll probably win, it's terribly fast. Even if it does only stay in the air for fifteen seconds and takes an hour to refuel. IT LOOKS VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE.

Telly also says they be working on one which can stay in the air for fifteen whole minutes. They do not tell me when they will be available to buy in Woolworths. But Zomg! Skientific progress! With jetpacks!

I can has a jetpack?

Okay, now where are our hovercars?

[calapine.livejournal.com]

For hovercars, you get a hoverboat and then some really good insurance and you just drive it on land, yay!

SCRUBS YOUR BRANE.

Sooty is afraid of heights.

I am old, boo.

But, yes, thank you; delighted it's being enjoyed. Even if you insist on TEARS.

And the problem with Martha!fic is not lack if ideas, but actually sitting down and getting anything finished. Ahrrm.

To repeat the obvious, what about my flying car? HM?

[calapine.livejournal.com]

There's just No Satisfying Some People, tut.

[chronographia.livejournal.com]

Considering that they are at least seven years late (and counting), I feel I have been remarkably patient about Not Having a Flying Car.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Nonsense. One must wait at least a decade before even considering an actual complaint about these sorts of things. Probably.

I hope it gets a mention on HIGNFY tonight!

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I do hope so. Bet they won't shut up about Blair though. At all. Even once. Hrrm.

So I am posting a comment in the journal of all three of you who maintain smith_n_jones since I don't see any way to message all three of you at once.

I just wanted to let you know that I think the community is fantastic. I am loving the wonderful fic, icons and general banter/chat that it produces. As I have no talent in the icon/fanfic area I wanted to contribute in a way I could, hence the paid account and icons. I couldn't resist the 100 even though I now realize there is no point in a comm. (oh well)

Oh, dude! That's lovely of you. Thank you!
