Teh Bar-B-Queue'r of Chickens was inspired by yesterday's post about Hans Hemmert's "Balloon Panzer" sculpture to cut this sweet little remix. Link

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Brillant… I can see a remix with a clown with a Kaiser Spike Helmet coming out the hatch. Except the spike will have to have a cork on it for obvious reasons.

Heh. I was resisting the urge to do this myself late last night. There’s something strangely appealing about Balloon Panzer!

Nice. Would it be in bad taste to request a Tiananmen Square remix?

Steve: That’s actually the inspiration. There aren’t any good photos of Tiananmen Square, so I found an empty highway shot.

Clever. All it needs is:

I can see a whole army of these at a childrens party.
