They had the thermo paper that gets jammed real easily and a bunch of skinny bearded hipster boys were standing around wondering if they were worth the trouble. One of them said "do we really need one of these? I mean I have the IHO app on my iPhone" and, well, you know how well that stupid app works. I tried it and it just got cross-signals from Twitter so I'd get these messages ostensibly from the Home Office that just said inane stuff. It was dumb.Brian Biggshttp://mrbiggs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058774462027111667.post-14323260425908825502011-01-17T15:43:28.619-05:002011-01-17T15:43:28.619-05:00Oh hell, Brian–I HOPE they didn't mean the car...Oh hell, Brian–I HOPE they didn't mean the car. If I was gonna ask I should have asked right away. You know how the IHO can be. If they didn't mean bears they would have said something, right?<br /><br />Kactiguy–Thanks! I'm told my Illustratophone was formerly commissioned to Clive Lumley, who of course is best known for the popular "Lumley Girl" series of illustrated hosiery ads in the 50s and 60s.<br /><br />I prefer to remember him for these, and not for his slow decline into pornographic album covers in the 1970s and beyond.Adam Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613641218929467577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058774462027111667.post-26442402547282566702011-01-17T15:19:21.172-05:002011-01-17T15:19:21.172-05:00The IHO never calls when it is convenient.
