OH BOY
Kanar
I don’t know why, but I’ve always imagined kanar tastes like Jägermeister but not as sweet. Or maybe like gin with more anise. I don’t know, but “licorice” is definitely the flavor I associate with kanar.
For some reason, I imagine “licorice” but also a weird buttermilk taste and a thickness like watery kiefer.
Basically kanar is awesome to Cardassians but absolutely dreadful to pretty much everyone else. (See also, the aliens from Alien Nation that get drunk on sour milk)
YOU’VE WATCHED ALIEN NATION????<3 <3 <3
I finished all the scripts I had prepared for Cyborg Construction Center. Now I need to write the ending of Chapter 3 and do another pass at the whole experience, after which the scripting part of Episode 0 will be complete.
I suppose earlier generations had to sit through all this huffing and puffing with the invention of television, the phone, cinema, radio, the car, the bicycle, printing, the wheel and so on, but you would think we would learn the way these things work, which is this:
1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal;
2) anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it;
3) anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really.
Apply this list to movies, rock music, word processors and mobile phones to work out how old you are.
