KOLONEL KAHLUA
AGE:35 YEARS 52 MONTHS
OCCUPATION: SMOKING AND DRINKING
Kolonel Kahlua sits opposite me from the table. He eyes me suspiciously. I buy him four rounds just to start conversation. Apparenty the Kolonel never entertains the press,but I press my luck: “I first conceived whiterussian six years ago. In those days, I had a sheep to talk to, and the J-Man to look at.” The Kolonel develops a smirk of fondness. “The evenings were long and slow. But its fair to say, life changes…..”
“In the early days when I first entered the world “of the web” I was like a child entering the louvre. Surrounded by three square miles building, and over 6 thousand pieces of art, I was like bead of sweat bouncing around in the breasts of a large woman performing the congo. No direction, No aim…. but definitely noticeable.”
“Its strange. In the early days you count.on others around you. Neighbouring websites. Friends who know how the whole system works. You generate links. You generate contacts. Suddenly you go form a third generation site to a first.”
The Kolonel takes a big drag
“As someone who is now established in “the industry”, I’ve started to realise just how much crap is out there. I don’t feel like I’m wandering down the luvre any more…I feel more like I’m waltzing down a medieval torture chamber in Madame Tausauds. I swear the SHIT I’ve seen would turn a black man white!!!” Rumaging through my pocket, I manage to find enough fifty pound notes for another round.
The Kolonel glances around. I’m not sure if its “red eye” or simply two red eyes, but the kolonel is now staring at me like I’m THE metrad’or. The kolonel leans in closer to impart knowledge of a generation past. “Clint. Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight??? Cause…Let me tell you…he HAS danced with whiterussian.”
Meserized, I find myself lost in the Kolonel’s words. Suddenly, all neighbouring websites pale by comparison to whiterussian. What is their goal?? What is their mission?? Do they possess the secret of Divinci???
