(Cable channel #666 The Wonky Wok, a cooking show
hosted by Mrs Miyu Yakuza, gangster's moll, with a
subscriber audience of 13 quality people. Special guest
mad Professor Wakimojo stands in the background
waiting his dice cube cue.)
Miyu - I can't tell you how pleased I am to share my
pearl wedding gift from husband Toshiro with you my
loyal followers.
Wakimojo - The crystal glass aquarium pressure cooker
was moulded in Paris by the finest compulsive gamblers
to clear their debts.
Miyu - Just look at the black pearls round the neck of the
ancient death mask of someone not unlike someone else.
Wakimojo - From a speck of nuisance grit the oyster is
able to fight back and create resplendent organic jewellery.
Miyu - Thirty years of love and devotion between a
man and a woman in times when every second person is
getting divorced. What a precious gift.
Wakimojo - I'll slowly turn down the dimmer switch and just
watch what happens. See. The snipefish at the top of
the pressure cooker aquarium dim down their own
bioluminescence through the pineal window on top of
their heads to blend in with the ambient light and make
their bellies invisible to the eyes of the giant dead man's
crabs guarding the ancient death mask in the sand bed below.
Miyu - What's the span from pincer to pincer of the giant
dead man's crabs?
Wakimojo - Five to eight feet.
Miyu - And they eat drowned sailors?
Wakimojo - Yes, white boots and scratched bones have
been salvaged from the dark depths in the shadow of Mt Fuji.
Miyu - There you have it, my friends. You are what you eat.
Don't you dare change the channel during the fly fishing
infomercial break. After a nice glass or two of lovely
white gelatin sake, we'll be with you again to show you
how in ten minutes, with a simple crystal glass aquarium
pressure cooker or not, you too can steam deadman's crab.
