The thing is, I was only thinking of your health. Even if this construct was not mostly Tumbleweed technology**, but was a real bear, I'd have no issues with consuming large quantities of high-calorie food. Something to do with preparing for hibernation.

I've heard it said that real bears don't get the 'being full' feeling that we do, so keep consuming while there's food available. (Bears who have found a continuous supply of food - like some daft human providing it day after day - they can get grossly fat very quickly. But as long as the food supply is stopped before they become too big, they're okay, I believe.)



** - Which doesn't consume any form of food, because it's (very sophisticated) machinery.

And yet has organic tissue which, by your own admission, requires nutrition. I think you are working to hard in far too many threads and can no longer keep your head about you when it comes to the....ah....well.....ah....tales you have told about yourself.

Given this workload I think you should just depart this thread so you can focus on your other responsibilities. No need to worry, I will stay here in my trusty hammock and make certain everthing is just fine. Really, just be on your way now, I am starting to worry about your cognitive function.

Oh look, a school of chocolate fish, salmon I believe. I would also like to commend whoever replaced the hard and heavy coconuts in the tree above me with the chocolate ones, well done.

Absolutely, we're all so very very well behaved in this thread, there is no need for such close attention. Not when there's all those other rowdy ones that need a Mod's presence.

The organic "component" within the construct is quite happy here, having just consumed one of Mr Kipling's individually-wrapped chocolate slices (the ones which have little chunks of chocolate embedded in the top of their chocolate sponge).

[springs]

How do they do that, eh? Pop down to ask a scientist and find out

[Ursa major]

I'll wait for you here.


(So there's no need to hurry.)

[springs]

Oh no, they see me coming and scatter to the four winds from painful experience... you'll have to do it.

I remain curious about how you can eat a chocolate slice to feed your organic component and yet have no digestive process. curious minds wish to know

[Ursa major]

I thought I'd made my self clear: the construct has no digestive organs of its own. But that doesn't mean that something performing an important rôle (not swiss, cheese, or bacon) within it, namely controlling what it does, cannot have its own digestive tract (which would not be apparent to anyone looking at the outside of the construct).

Clear, you? please, you have mastered obtuse

So I am still unclear on how something performing an important role within the construct which has its own digestive tract manages to avoid the posterior breezes every other digestive track on the planet is subject to?

The good get the bad ones sense, that is the way of freedom. the bad just get the fun. that is the way of hedonism. the toad gets the night, the frog gets miss piggy. Miss Piggy gets the joke. the joke* gets the exit sign.**


*just to say, one big joker left the world late last night, and we're all in a bit of mourning for him over here. I suspect Timba won't have come across him, but Frank Carson was just about one of the funniest guys alive.

**so he would appreciate that I just made more sense there that the past 3 posts have Even by this thread's standards; I'm lost.***



*** not so lost you can celebrate.... I'm still in the thread.

Okay, perhaps Ursa has not mastered obtuse, at least not to your standards. Hey I am just striving mightily to pin Ursa down on something, anything really, that he has said regarding this construct of his. Like trying to grab smoke with a tweezers.

[springs]

We could try ignoring him? Not been tried that one, yet. Inscrutably, smug, ignorance. Or sing every time he posts.

Chocolate

An erudite observation. Shall we cover him in a vat of it, so his fur sticks to the tumbleweeds and then good byeeee.....
