I reckon it's temporal sprites responsible for many so-called missing items. The items are there all right, but in a different time frame. Like they're taking a trip down memory lane.

Just looked it up. These people need a good hard smack. It's probably the same sort of numpty that joins the queue for one of our shows, but has no understanding of how queues work, vis-a-vis joining at the right end. I'm running of of patience for those pricks.

Actually, I can. It's the one that doesn't have a gash down the back. Pretty sure that's the one.

I had a similar feeling towards a college mate's dad, and would definitively have paid a visit if I'd been back. I was at Rikki's place once, when his mum asked him if the Alpine man had been. His dad said Rikki wouldn't know, as the Alpine man wasn't chic enough for Rikki 😆 Summed him up!

My next, thinking-out-loud, question would be: what's the efficiency of such a laser? Might be time to go down a rabbit hole :)
