The Death of Lapwanti

8 Sep

Yes, again.

And this time she’s gone for good.

I love scribbling update-type posts about as much as the majority of you seems to love reading them (which is nada, for the unplugged among us), but I could do with some sympathy here. C’mon, people, gush forth now. I’ll even leave you with some neon wisdom while I dither between the possibility of an electronic successor and lifelong penury. These ears, they strain for applause.

Real strength lies in not hurting someone when you know just how easily you can.

    We sympathize and also vote for an electronic replacement for the erstwhile Lapwanti

    Oh no…it’s like losing a road map or something, and it keeps jolting you as you remember in instalments what you had there.

    I’m not helping am I?

    Get ready to take me sightseeing from November onwards. Better? 🙂

    M…: And I vote for a Fund-an-OJ piggy bank. All readers passing through here will contribute a minimum of $20. Yup, that should cover it.

    Thinking Cramps: Much! 😀 Put on those walking shoes, girlfriend.

    Poor you. Is Lappie truly beyond rescue now?
    RIP. Successor needed urgently.

    Oh no! Rest in peace Lapwanti. You were the conduit for the wonderful visions of OJ the Wise and her alter ego, OJ the Wise-crack.

    And OJ dear, may the New One arrive safe and sound…and soooon!!

    She purred, she whirred, she pleaded
    “It is ,but, not yet my time”

    A curious twise of fate it was
    Perhaps the turn of the planets was the cause

    There she lay, all grace and poise
    A silent spectator to her own demise

    RIP Lapwanti…
