Elberry the Unkillable

So I get this email from the prodigious Elberry telling me he's burnt his blog and will not blog again. I reply sympathetically only to be told he is, in fact, blogging again - here. I sometimes wonder whether I have imagined Elberry. Like the incomparable Dave Lull he may be the first sign of the acquisition of self-consciousness by the internet. It is winning us over by adopting seductive and alarming personae. Perhaps I should alert The Guardian.

    Elberry is like one of those intense dreams you have, just before waking, they hang around in the mind, like a brocken spectre on an alpine ridge, or the nagging doubt that you haven't paid the gas bill.

    Would Dave & i know we were manifestations of the internet...? or would we be like higher-ability androids in Blade Runner, convinced we're real?

    i am actually about to eat a pie now.

    I hope Elberry exists, because I've just hired a van to help him leave the country.

    He says this is to carry books. I however fear I shall end up on some rain blasted pennine moor helping him bury bodies.

    I have met Elberry in the apparently real world many times. But perhaps I too only dream myself to be real. Who knows?
