Bogorigins
Bogeyman: ... Ganymede... a lovely place covered with the best bogs I've ever seen! I spent there almost twelve years!

Interviewer: Did you bring your own Bog from there?

B: Yes, the live bogs of Ganymede...

I: With live mice from Ganymede? And other Ganymede creatures?

B: No, it's just Live Bog! You know, a creature called Live Bog! You can take small part of it and in a cupla years you'll get a perfect real bog! And everything you want too. Mice, cottage, stereo, cows, broad majestic Shannon in the centre of Prague or wherever!

I: And you took a part of that creature to the Earth? Isn’t it hurting endangered animals?

B: Nah! It's a natural way of reproduction for the Live Bog!

I: Great you at least did not name TV as one of the bog-products...

B: I just didn’t mention it! But OK: TV, crappy cars, fireplace, armchairs, poitin...

I: Cars? Cars in a bog??? That’s too much! Such a crime against nature! Environmentalists should definitely visit your Bog.

B: Yes! Cars! Look.

I: It suspiciously resembles Shane’s property...

B: It's just Live Bog! I told you you can get any cofiguration of the creature! You just need to think, imagine pictures all the time...

I: Well, it is very obvious what you were thinking of when making the Bog work!
