" The Leitrim Experiment " ~ Final Chapter.

For those of ye who were around, back in the day, to witness the spawning of this ground breaking effort to aid modern mans greater understanding, " The Leitrim Experiment " will need no further explanation.

However, as enough of you simply weren't around back then, on THL, I'll summarise here in an effort to bring ye succinctly up to pace:

It all started, about two or maybe even three years ago. Fittingly, it was about the month of June too, as I vaguely recall. Perhaps if anyone still on THL could run a search there, using the keyword 'Margarine', we might get closer confirmation, for posterity? (And Here is the Live Link!)

Anyway, a member there, " Jasper ", posted about how some internet borne missive was trying to warn us all that " Margarine is just One Molecule away from Plastic!!! ". That caused a little stir of discussion and undertones of disgust, naturally. Then I came along and read about it and my felt my curiosity aroused.

I said how Butter, surely, was prone to go green and furry, if left to its own, unrefrigerated, devices. Margarine? Dunno. But ..... But, fuck it! I'm gonna find out!

And, right there and then was born The Leitrim Experiment. I simply went into town and bought some butter and some margarine. I then knifed out a blob of each and smeared those blobs on my kitchen window frame. Then the world sat back to watch.

Days turned to weeks. The weeks rolled into months. The seasons came and went. That damn butter and margarine sat there, on the window frame in my kitchen. There I observed it. Reported on it. Photographed it. I even had a delegate from an International Scientific Institute visit, to ratify the ongoing Experiment and, yes, incidentally; Fuck my brains out. But that's another story.

It had been my contention that, surely to fuck, Something would go after it? I mean; Insects would come and eat it. Moulds would grow on it. If not even the 'plastic' margarine, butter was one thing removed from milk, wasn't it? And milk sure as hell put on a floor show if ye left That shit alone for five minutes.

It's probably still all sat there, in the hundreds of back pages of THL. Meanwhile, those blobs of margarine and butter are still on my window frame. Glaring back at the world. Baleful and almost seemingly malevolent in their defiance.

But, sadly; All things must pass. Even after two or three years in my kitchen. I'm about to have that window ripped out and get a door put in its place. Thus " The Leitrim Experiment " will be brought to a close.

And my final conclusion ....? That crap's just sat there, for Two or Three fucking Years now! Nothing's come near it. It's just gathered dust and air borne detritus. I shall Never Again put either of these two forms of Shit in my fucking mouth!

Butter

Margarine
