“This is my own home-made soup,” she announced, “For in addition to building the fortress and learning the cornet I have taken a correspondence course in devising original soup recipes. In your bowl you have what I dubbed Becke Beiderbix’s Boiled Black Broth, in which every single ingredient begins...

Most of Frank's stories require some suspension of dis-belief: I think you need to just accept that in the same way that you might be OK with FTP space-ships or talking robots. None of these things exist in the real world (yet) but we can imagine that they do.

I really enjoyed what Norm and pals did to promote Happy Birthday Robot. I really got a feel for the product and a genuine sense of enthusiasm from the presenters.

Was everybody contaminated simultaneously even through their bio protection gear? If you have to ask que...

She wanted to lead a jazz band called "The Becke Beiderbix Bix Beiderbecke Tribute Cornet Octet featuring Bixder Beibecke, Beike Bixderbec, Kebec Bixderbei, Bixbec Beiderke, Beibix Becderke, Derke Bixbecbei, Kebeider Bixbec, and Bixke Derbeibec."

Frank's version will be on his podcast sometime this month. Norm's version is the podcasting debut of t...
