                        The Grain is Big Data. You, the developer, are the Hen -- you must consume the Grain. The Fox is Corporate Security who won't let you in the same room as the Grain and won't let you have the tools to consume it even if they did.

                          Or... it could be the gates of hell opening up to usher in new development work on technology that hasn't been supported for 15 years.

                                    Make bread from the grain. Grill up the Chicken for sandwiches. Catch the fox and make a fur stole.
