"No-one will think of blaming Riddled," said tigris reassuringly. "Everyone will think it was the fault of the foxes' exposure to the influence of the incomprehensible artefacts abandoned in the Alienation Zone."
The bottle is then riddled, so that the lees settles in the neck of the wine bottle... Manual riddling is still done for Prestige Cuvées in Champagne... mechanised riddling equipment (a gyropalette) is used instead. (Wikipedia)

Notes towards a re-make of 'Сталкер'
"I'm off for lunch," I said; "I'll be back after two pints. Don't let Another Kiwi play with the Morphogenic Field Flux Intensifier. Especially don't let him intensify the foxes-and-sandwiches narrative."
But did anyone listen? DID THEY BOGROLL. Now foxes (the little foxes, that spoil the vineyards) are displaying advanced sammich-making capabilities. If this trend continues, soon they will be adopting appropriate Underpeople names like F'red and F'rank and operating their own franchises of the Prêt à Manger fastfood chain.

Oh man, those domesticated foxes from Russia - I've wanted one for a long time, but they are expensive and I don't think I am in a place in my life where I can handle a pet yet anyway. I am managing houseplants.
ReplyDeletemistah charley: I highly recommend Stalker, and also Solaris and Andrei Rublev. A Tarkovsky marathon definitely requires caffeine and not alcohol, though.
