First up

webgreetings Dear
Linear Scholar,
First time here? If so, first thing you need to
know is that we been bumped up at a
pause point for more than a couple of years now, wwwaiting for
the Law to change and the next thing you need to knowww is that
Big Bong Reality has been Updated Monthly
for *at least* the TWO HUNDREDETH and Fourteenth time since
September 1995. (17 web continuous years old, as
for how many actual "Realty Updates" written and uploaded 'in
between' the *at least* 214 monthlies? Dunno, except that its way
way more than 420, this is FER SURE the most often overwwwriten
webpage in all my cyberspace
;O)--~
Historically speaking, this reality
update feature was one of the main clauses written into the 2 year
contract I signed in September 1995 (with I.R.C.S.A) for the first
BigBong website Clause = Author (that's me) to supply a reality
update every 2 weeks for duration of contract (2 years) - which I
did, they figured (rightly) that without me to write fresh words,
the Big Bong web site wouldn't be a 'proper" website. In September
of '97 when the contract was finished and I.R.C.S.A decided to step
aside, I kept the website with it's reality update going and have
never missed upgrading this page, which, I suppose makes this one of
the longest running blogs on the web, of course, I write way way way
more words per month than what you can see in here - most of the
heavy duty blogging I do/have done is viewable at the teXt-files, I digress - mostly to illustrate the
continuity nightmare that blogging can create when a 'first timer'
hits a 17 year old blog and all the information on display requires
prior knowledge.....
METAphorically the Big Bong web
construct can be likened to a solar powered space craft, each sail
is made of <html> shaped in such a way so as to powwwer the
web construct through cyber space, kinda like a sailing ship through
the ocean. Since powering up the webcam can be likened to firing up
the 'prime thruster' of a rocket ship and since the BBt-PPP Cyber
Capsule was designed to only light up the prime thrusters at the
start of construction and since there are so many sails powwwering
the BBt-PPP, it has made sense to let the 'good ole' BBt-PPP Cyber
Capsule voyage blurbingly along its eccentric tangent towards
materialization at a future point in space and time whilst I went
else web to construct other smaller, more maneuverable constructs
powwwered almost entirely by web cam imagery, portals originally
designed as tug boats for the BBt-PPP which were designed to morph
into 'retro rockets' with the passing of time.
Thus, you know some of
the wwwhy why this page morphed into an elseweb portal page over the
last few trips round the sun, a book markable
sign post page that is never more than a "mouse click" away
from wwwhere-ever the wwwords are being wwwoven in the
now.
Thing is, that I never
set out to become a Big Bong builder or a Cannabis Law Reform
Activist, I set out to become a writer and as you can imagine dear
linear scholar, after such a long time of not being able to manifest
all of the myriad requirements that obstacle me in reality you would
think I would be some what discouraged, not so, I mean, I knew from
the instant that I had the idea, that
actually building Bongzilla (my nick name
for the Big Bong Peace Pipe) was going to be somewhere the other
side of highly impossible.
Thing is, I am not
discouraged, because no matter how impossible building a 420 foot
high Big Bong Peace Pipe might look 19 years later in
the August of 2013, it is definitely - and significantly - less
impossible now than it was when I first had the idea on the
29th of June 1994, not to mention the fact that the writer/artist in
me has had plenty of outlet weaving what amounts to an entire sector
of cyber space, which is why, when all is said and done, I am not
discouraged by Bongzilla being bumped up at this
pause point, not when there is so much happening in the real
world of my highly subjective reality ;O)--~
2013...
Nearing 18 years online... this time 19 years ago I
had a box of pens and 2 notebooks full of poems and ideas, I didn't
own - or really know how to use a computer and/or how to write a
book. 18 years ago, I had finished one finger typing up the
manuscript that ultimately became the novel that this entire
webspace is constructed "upon" on a 386 with 4 MB of RAM and was
actively engaged in the promotion of the novel. 17 years ago, the BiG BonG
TheorY was selling in book stores all over Sydney and Internet
was a word I had heard on television whilst 'back packing' in the
U.S.A (91-94), of course, I had been reading about global computer
networks in science fiction novels since I learnt how to read, but
'reading about' and 'writing with-in' are entirely different things,
which loopingly brings me to the main point of this word
assembly, the "weblog" component of this August 2013 Reality Update.
Anyhow, as I said above, I up date
this page on the first of the month and over write it during the
month if something "Big Bong" is actually happening and whilst there
is nothing much "Big Bong" planned for August
2013, there sure was a happening that I was involved in
on the 5th and 6th of May = MARDIGRASS
- ;O)

When that rope goes hard and suddenly weighs a ton,
it don't matter what suit you are wearing, all that matters is that
you exert every bit of physical energy you possess.
You can't hear the acerbic commentary of S.Sorensen
or the super slick sidekick quips by the hugely talented and
extremely funny Alan Glover, you can't hear the crowd roaring, all
you can see is along the rope = tunnel vision.
I was impressed with the strength of the police
men, they were not easy to move and until the rope came our way, it
felt like they had the momentum and the muscle to carry the day. On
both ends of the rope, it's all grunt and resolve, until the rope
starts to move towards you that is, then the rush of adrenalin
surges as you winch the rope in hand over hand - which is not how
you are supposed to do it - but at the time, hand over handing
yielded a critical psychological advantage in the polite police
tunnel, that said, the reason I was hand over handing was because I
dint want to lose the footholds I had, it was slippery out there, an
off kilter downhill sideways damp grass o shit we are gunna lose
kind of slippery.
Anyway, from the Polite position at the top of the
tunnel/head of the rope, winning or losing is a matter of
perception. I always think that the Police win big time by
participating, I think that the MardiGrass wins big time by the
'crowd' seeing that the Police at the MardiGrass are real human
beings working in crowd safety mode and not blue suited robots
programmed to DESTROY the MardiGrass Vibe.
Personally, no way could I have gone back into the
tunnel for a third go, fer sure the rest of the Polite and all the
Police could have gone one more time, but not me, I was glad we had
got it done in 2 because I knew I would need all the strength I had
left for the 420, but thats another story!
The first minute of this you tube seems to last for
ever and a professional would prolly edit/remove it, as the phone
camera got set at 8x magnify, the reason it took me so long to get
the camera working was because, for some still unknown reason, the
dudes kept trying to put the www.BigJoint.org on the top of the 420
Kombi where I was standing, anyway, what you can see and hear during
the first minute is what happened and I think it sets up the second
minute rather well :O)
And, as you can see when you compare the 'crowd' in
2013, to the 'crowd' in the youtube below in 2012, there were EVEN
more activists at the 420 than ever before! WOOT ;O)
Meanwhile, dear linear scholar, I am
still at wwwork on www.Little-Car-Stories.com
- which you will remember (I do) was the focus of the January 2011
bblog - sheesh that was a quick 2 years! Anyway, it's keeping me
busy while I wait for the changes in the law that trigger either the
roll out of www.BigBongBurgerBar.com
and/or the construction of Bongzilla..... Speaking about little car
stories, since the 28th of August 2012, the stories have been
available as an Android Phone App! To check it out, go to www.littlecargame.com -
which is hot linked to www.inimitablegames.com
which is where you will find details the app and the link you need
to follow to the Google Play Store where you can
download it....
I am still excited about the 2012 NimbinMardiGrass, which was for me
personally, yet again one of the very best MardiGrasses -ever - not
that I have ever had a bad MardiGrass, they are all equal, but some
stand out more than others and it's going to be a long long long
time before I forget either;
And thus, having run out of stuff to
talk about and link "to" for the "eighth" month of twenty thirteen,
the only thing left to tell you at this point in cyber space and
time dear linear scholar is that maybe you can find me
sitting at the POLITE table on the back veranda of the Nimbin
H*E*M*P* Embassy (or in the H*E*M*P* Bar), in the drugsense Chat Room or
perhaps on the Nimbin
H*E*M*P*Embassy Forums or, plus/and if you have access to
facebook go to facebook.com/BigBongPeacePipeProject.

till next
peace

P.S Did you ever hear about the
arrest
for the cultivation of the Cannabis Plants that were to have been
the focus of the 2001 webshow.
