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.
