About the lack of gadgetbudget in the now.
$86.40? How can that be an obstacle? Well the gadgetbudget indicator is stuck firmly on E for empty and the only REAL source of gadgetbudget at the moment is, as ALWAYS, the coins left over from my government artist subsidy. Government Artist Subsidy? Well, that's what a poet calls unemployment benefits, anyhow, the subsidy amounts to $147 per week. The actual poverty line, I believe, is set some where up in the high $200 per week income bracket, point being, once I distribute my weekly pittance amongst the land lady, the tobacconist, food dudes and a nebulous network of ganja dealers, I.S.P and phone companies, there is sod all left for chicken wire. I accept this as cool and as part of the life style I chosen to lead and I also realize that no-one else but me has a need to construct a 24 foot tall Bamboo Bong, I mean the Bamboo Bong/ Cyber Integration Chamber's primary purpose is to be inserted into the BB and PP logo's in place of the hand drawn Bong/PPipes "letter I's."
But then I thought, why not design and manufacture 25 ONLY $50 "I helped build the Bamboo Bong Tee Shirts" the quickly mathematical minded amongst y'all would say 25 X $50 = $1200 minus the chicken wire, $86.40 leaves $1113.60, minus, say, $20 each to buy and screen 25 Tee shirts ($500) leaves exactly $613.60 to buy 100 square meters of cloth to wrap around the out side, 100 meters of inch and a half Polypropylene water pipe to act as the horizontal support hoops, a couple of hundred meters of tie wire and a couple of gallons of paint, which isn't really enough to build what I want, mostly cause the 100 sq meters of cloth is going to cost plenty, but, as I said earlier, the bottom line is that I need a Bamboo Bong and so I will continue to do the best I can with the gadget budget I got, but, if you want to order a "highly" limited edition "I helped build the Bamboo Bong Tee Shirt" and help make the Bamboo Bong better than it would in the absence of gadgetbudget.....
