Tubular

Those who called my proposal to put oldies in lava tubes cruel will have to reconsider now that there is a hotel which puts trendy travelers in concrete tubes. I’m reconsidering as well - I now think lava tubes might be too luxurious an accommodation.

  1. The irony of reposing in a sewer pipe and yet there is nowhere to take a crap.

  2. The engineer Brunel arranged to put horses in a tube. The horses never made it, but there was an organ, some Egyptian necromancers, and some dancing monkeys. Now it's just part of the Tube.

  3. They fail to take advantage of the architectural possibilities of a u-bend section of piping. Typical unimaginative Germans.

    1. Things that are, or eventually will be, trendy hotel accommodations: tubes, u-bend piping, shipping containers, some old barrels, a found refrigerator box, Saddam's spider hole, my nephew's couch fort.

    2. I'm far more interested in the "temporary cathedral" made of cardboard tubes. Like, what's going to happen when it rains?

    3. I beg your pardon: unimaginative Germans.

    1. The narration cracks me up: "A nook and cranny place, higgledy piggledy with history".

      It's also higgledy piggledy with demonic forces, necromancers, and strange creatures.
