Moondog is going to build himself a fleet..!!!

“What do you do with a drunken ship-in-a-bottle builder”…

I’ve made a few ships in bottles. Moondog’s got the right attitude — supplying yourself with empties is a real chore.

Listen I’ll empty the bottles while you build the ships inside of them. By the time I pass out you will have enough bottles to keep you going until I can legally drive to the store to get more bottles to empty. we’ll make it a business.

Don’t get too comfortable Moon Dog. NYC museums have just reopened.

Moonie may not be the best Rôle Model, but his approach to dealing with ’rona-caused leisure time is eminently practical. An extra bottle or two (or three) is not so bad under the circumstances. And he may even eventually get the ship built in one of them!

Or do like the Chinese do. Create a bottle with a perfectly seamless bottom, put a ship inside, glue on the bottom, then stick on a “MADE IN the U.S.A.” label. :D

You’re gonna need a bigger bottle.

I’ve wondered how they did that when I would see one. But not too much. Would just forget about it. This time I finally googled it. Quite the chore.

it’s always important to have backup…
