1. PROPERTY: This bucket is on the floor right in front of you.
2. FIELD: This bucket is down the hall...
it sounds like a custom property is a kind of global.
In terms of speed, darn close.
where are they stored?
In the stack file, in a way that's much easier to get to than field contents.
where do they go when the glimmies are neemer?
They can be saved with the file. So they have two distinctions from globals: they're bound to an object, and they can be persistent between sessions.
guess i'll have to kilackety to Monterey to deek & harp the kimmies & brightlighters.
Demoshed? Kilackety is bahlest anyway, and only a few belhoons. I'm pikin' from the brightlights kilackety myself.
It'll be a mighty fine tidrik, deekin' on the typin' moches, harpin' lews and larmers, otin' the greymatter, hootin', and hornin' frattey and gormin' swimmies like an ab-chaser.
I'll shy the nonch harpins so there'll be nee haines-crispin (I'll be plenty slugged so I won't be as ose-draggy neemer), and it'll be tidrick aplenty with all the kimmies and minks.
Will the squirrel bacon be there? It'd be good to harp the bloochins with him. Ain't deeked Cozens in plenty teem.
