HumanTupperware again:

Half asleep in frog pyjamas is an anomaly for old Tom Robbins, no robbins 
fan I know enjoyed it.

As for the Tupperware thing....I had no idea that aussies were so into it! I 
originally came up for the name as a reaction against apartment buildings in 
Melbourne, I thought they were like putting people in plastic containers to 
live..........

Though I must say I have always had a love for those icypole maker thingys 
tupperware make........such childhood memories....

this is inane. sorry.

HumanTupperware.
