Many years ago, when [livejournal.com profile] jeffwik's AIRPORTATION was in flower, I had this idea that I would write up summaries of each session and then Photoshop them onto extremely boring postcards of airports with a dusty timeless-retro look. As if they were postcards by California from Hong Kong Airport, Stalingrad, Idlewild, and so on. I even found images of Soviet postmarks and Orson Welles stamps to doll them up with. ("Fun" fact: There are a LOT of extremely boring postcards on the internet.) But as you may have noticed, I never got around to it. Just as I never found her speaking voice, I couldn't figure out how to do California's handwriting.

Here instead, a mere two years after Goofy's betrayal and Jim(?)'s rocking demise, is a top secret apparently real life map from the Soviet archives (dated 1973 - détente? what détente?) depicting Yuri Andropov's top secret plan to wipe the continent of North America off the face of the earth. The world of AIRPORTATION, revealed:

And we gave Reagan shit about Star Wars?

“This is a scheme of assumed changes in geographical structure of Earth continents which may happen as a result of correction of gravity field of the Earth by the A-241/BIS device.” (Via Strange Maps.)

Ha! It's funny you should post this, because when I first saw it on Strange Maps I emailed it to [livejournal.com profile] jeffwik and cited his Airportation game. Apparently all you and I ever do is think about games [livejournal.com profile] jeffwik has run.

You know, it's an A-241/BIS device. With the gravity field correction thingie. That, like, corrects gravity so one continent disappears while all the others...

Yeah, seriously. WTFFF?

Also, they were going to use a COMPUTER to collect all the half-cents left over from every electronic banking transaction...
