Two dream fragments

[andygates]

Coming in from a run, walking into the finished bathroom (with max-cost-and-hassle flush wetroom floor), bracing in the corner and hitting the shower button.  Absolutely delicious jet of hot steamy water all over my back and shoulders.  That decides my plumbing choices.  Time to cost up a pumped waste...

Travelling to Harare under a tourist visa.  Stopping time.  Assassinating Mugabe effortlessly.  Restarting time and having coffee (hotel roadside tables, cafetiere, scorched beans, raw sugar) while jeeps loaded with troops race toward the presidential palace.

Okay, the second one was clearly because I watched the Heroes catch-up last night, but if Big Bad Bob is dead this weekend, er, yeah.  It wasn't not me...

When politicians become delinquent and a threat to human life and dignity, you now have the opportunity to blacklist them and declare them persona non grata.

A blacklist does nothing. "Ooh, we don't like you!" Big fat hairy deal.

So who gets to decide which political leaders are up for assassination, then?

It's easy, just see who's got oil...

You chose... poorly.

The correct answer is, "start with all of 'em." Repeat as necessary.

Oy veh, my list already, who to put at the top?

That'd be a funny premise for a story though: a time-fecky super has assassinated every world leader, then buggered off. What happens next?

NBC make a series out of it?

Which reminds me, I must Torrent the episodes of Heroes I missed in a wine-and-bicycles frenzy the other night...
