Futility is the Gateway to the Future

About Me

A particularly uninteresting variety of slime mold (Myxomycota) originally found in southern Ontario, the irr.app. (ext.) plasmodium was transferred to northern California in the early 1980s, where the more aggressive climate instigated a correspondingly more aggressive quality to its heterotrophic function in the surrounding ecosystem. One of several peculiar side effects that accompanied this deviation is the tendency of the organism's fructifying sporangia to emit an irregular series of unpleasant noises, a behaviour usually accompanied by a strong odour comparable in quality to that of burnt maple syrup. As has been the case with all of nature's more grotesque manifestations, an interest in these noises has developed amongst a certain small, disreputable segment of the world's population. As improbable it may seem, however, in recent years irr. app. (ext.) cultures and their attendant properties have been given constructive, widely-beneficial application by well-regarded scientific institutions such as The Society of Wounded Nurses at Cooloorta (SOWNAC), Iceland's Still Upstate Paw Foundation for Homeopathic Phonophobics (SUPFFHP), and, of course, The Helen Scarsdale Agency (HSA), a San Francisco-based group commited to improving conditions for non-native slime molds residing in the Bay Area. Donations of any amount are gratefully accepted.
