No comment on this, can't handle it before my morning caffeine.

The machine of Karma dispenses tennis balls?


So, the karma machine seems to be reading a man of virtue that is a self obssessed scruff, who has been wounded by god with the lash of thanatos.
Now is this what roast beef is (it does rather sound like him) or what he'll come back as?

I kind of want a print of this. Or maybe just the machine itself.

QFT. And canning.

It appears Chris was watching Empire Records this weekend, on Fuse.   I can't think of any other reason I would both hear Romeo and Juliet, and see it mentioned in the Alt Text in such a short time span.

The dice was loaded from the start.

[Toaster]

When I go, the machine will read Improvement, Charm, Vanity, Gypsy, Wounded by Others. And the Anger wheel will spin.

[pmcd9]

I haven't heard Romeo and Juliet in many a year.  I have it on vinyl though.

[atalkingdog]

the wheels are still spinning as Roast Beef descends into the machine.

[Mr Trout]

It's true the wheels are still spinning, but I see the outer wheels as slowing down and stopping right about where they are pointing now and only the very inner dial still spinning. I could see any of the "Wounded by..." fitting beef - perhaps the machine will not be able to choose and this will somehow overload it?

[wombat]

If the machine can't choose, he won't die, right? Right?

[Doc]

Just wanted to re-iterate how much I love that machine.
If Onstad ever runs out of storyline ideas he can just start drawing fantastical machinery and architecture and I'll still be here every day. Oh man, now I'm imagining an Onstad art book, that would be boss.

I think I figured out the machine.

The outer wheel represents general good qualities. The inner circles represent source of punishment/pain and its manifestation (i'd love to see a child wounded by god to have octocephaly). The pain circles have an arrow that point into the middle circle, as does the outer circle. The middle circle represents traits that are double-edged: for example, you can be sociable, but too sociable makes you invasive; you can endorse something, but if you do too much, you are a liar. A little scruff is good, but too much is filth, and so on and so forth.

So look for the little inward and outward pointing arrows and it makes sense:

In the case of Roast Beef:

- on the good hand, he is virtuous and has a little scruff
- however, he was cursed by God with the lash of Thanatos
- on the bad hand, he is self-obsessed (as a result of the above?)


The result is a tennis ball on a towel.

He put a lot of work into the theatre wall-paper.
