Happy Air Kraken Day!

Air Kraken Day, 17th of March

Once more, our skies darken with the threat of ominous lighter than air tentacles as the calendar once again informs us that it is Air Kraken Day!  Rejoice (or scream in abject terror, as you prefer) as we remember these giants of the sky – who’s loving embrace has been the gurgling end to many an aeronaut’s ill fated airship journey.

Some of you might take this as a time to raise a glass to those so lost.  Some might choose to spread the word that Air Krakens are simply misunderstood creatures, defending their airy territories.  While yet others might choose to craft Air Kraken decoys and go hunting this most elusive of aerogelliac fauna.  I recommend trying a modified solar balloon, this year, if last years kites did not bag you a specimen.  Good luck!

    Or should I say "blogge" or even "ye olde blogge"? Hmm.
  • We were throwing a St Paddy's day party at Ruby's Pub in the city of New Babbage in Second Life. We'd heard rumors of the passing krakens overhead, but fortunately we did not have to have a lockdown of the pub to keep people from wandering the streets as the krakens circled above. Everybody was quite content to concentrate on their jigs and consumption of single malt.

    Happy belated Air Kraken Day, ladies and gentlemen! May your tentacles be slippery and moist.

    The skies of Victoriana once again are rejoiced with the visit of our more emblematic icon of the Steampunk tradition.
  • So informative!
    Love your blog and I visit often.
    Everyone should be reading it!
    I'll post a link from my blog, if that's OK.
    I wish I'd produced more topical art work.

    Eegads!
    You think a solar balloon will be able to withstand the might of an Air Kraken in heat?
