Cautiously, I stepped across the gap, grasping a
branch overhead to steady myself. It was a long
way down. Once across, I stepped into a cool,
modern office with a strong glass floor.
To my left I saw a Note Goat sidle past the water
cooler before it nimbly leapt in through an open
window
and landed by a cluttered desk.
A pair of nesting Peregrine Falcons stared at me
through the window as I walked past. They seemed
totally unfazed by all of the activity inside, until I
realised they were looking at mountain vistas on
their side of the window film that I could see
through, to observe them.
I was fifteen storeys above the ground, high in a
tree, on my first day at a new workplace.
Everything swayed gently in the stiff breeze, as the
tree flexed and moved as nature intended.
An Office Cat brushed against my leg, purring
gently.

I love it, I'm bunning it, but I gotta call you on a Halfbakery
technicality, since you haven't really invented anything.
You painted a wonderful picture all the same. |
|
| |
So, you already work in a 15 storey office tower that's
been constructed in a tree? |

OTS Product A (business office) + OTS Product B
(treehouse) does not = new invention. |
|
| |
With respect, [Alter], combination of existing ideas is
almost always a new invention: |
|
| |
Water bowl + Heat = Soup cauldron
Scoop + Handle = Shovel
Motor + Carriage = Motor Car
Motor car + Fortress = Tank
Motor car + Bird = Aircraft

Love the office cat. Made me tear up. A beautiful work
of art. LOVE+ |
|

I suppose this would be the CBD, [hippo]. |
|
| |
Carbonaceous Business District, or summat. |
|
| |
Yes, Treehouse Town needs places for the folks to
work. It all flows together, very organically. Lovely. |

What [Alterother] said, but I still want!! [+]
Baked by Swiss Family Robinson! Still want! |
|

Ubie, it is a long-held HB convention that the simple
combination of two things that already exist, especially
without altering either of them, does not
constitute a halfbaked invention. Tell me I'm wrong,
anyone. |
|
| |
I didn't mean to make a big thing out of it, so I conclude
here, and if it is diplomatically necessary, I concede as
well. |
|
| |
Anyone might not say anything...you know some things just smell like a baking croissant even if they're not. |
|
| |
I give half a bun for the Office, half a bun for the Treehouse. Hey that's a whole bun. [+] |
|
| |
That's better, and much funnier, [bigs]. |
