Congratulations to our newest Cretan Bull! No glass houses, in Voltaire's Crater or here at the Innermost, are safe from his fantastical futuristic stones. Read the entry that vanquished all contenders.

So how goes the battle? Hope you've saved enough stones to finish the job. But don't delay. A cease fire will be called before you can say "Gotcha!"

"Two Glass Houses and Twenty Stones"

Two glass houses and twenty stones? What has Baino delivered upon us but an apparent war of words? Perhaps we should proceed with caution.  You know what they say about people in glass houses. On the other hand, they – and you know how they are, always ready with a proverb to fit the occasion -- also say “he who hesitates is lost.”

So what the heck. Go ahead, arm yourself and take your best shot.

"Rehearsing With Gods"

For what sane mind these days is swirling with gods and demons and swimming among archetypes? We mostly exist in our little world of images and simulacra, fed to us by the media masters—look, honey, I shrunk the universe, major credit cards accepted. Confused? Welcome into the world of bread and puppets, angels and demons, consciousness and insurrection. Make of it what you will because we're:

OK, so we have no idea what we're on about, but there's puppetry afoot and a message to be sent: Rise up and write!
