RANDOM MUSINGS OF A DISORDERED CONSCIOUSNESS

   So I was listening to Olds Sleeper's Born To Lose while eating my lunch, half watching

   the video, when out of the corner of my eye I caught an incongruity of a sort...  a ripple in 

   the fabric of reality, if you will.  Across the room from me was a television,  on but muted,

   set to CNN.  What should my eyes behold?  A so-called tech reporter.  Doing what,  you

   might ask?  She was idiotically strumming away at some sort of stringless digital electric

   guitar,  and looking mighty pleased with herself,  I might add.  All of a sudden,  the pizza in 

   my mouth tasted like a wad of mothballs.  I glanced back at Olds strummin' and a' singin'

   and,  for a split second,  instead of a big gleaming metal resonator with strings,  he was

   playing what she was playing... only his was mass-produced to look like a cigar box... A

   FAKE POLYPROPYLENE CIGAR BOX WITH NO STRINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   

I do not in any way shape or form ascribe any deep significance to this anomalous experience. I do not regard it as an epiphany or harbinger, and certainly do not consider it as having any foundation in objective causal reality. However, I experienced this waking nightmare, and have chosen to set it down here for posterity.

What's a televison and how do the people get inside it anyway?

...I now regulary see things in the corner of my eye moving in the dark...should I be worried?

   Just say no to polypropylene cigar boxes!

   My preferred controlled substance is a Honduran cigar...

'tsounds like the last call for reconsideration of your controlled substance of choice... And - maybe - your pizza joint as well... :D

I always hallucinate roaches, spied out of the corner of my eye. If I ever see one playing a CBG, I'll make sure and throw a mothball pizza at it.

Gotta say, Olds looked reellly sad playin' that song. I think the dude was feelin' some true heartbreak.

Too many moth balls on the pizza always gives you gas and causes hallucinations.   You know that, man.

Comment by Clock The Wolf on January 11, 2012 at 11:05pm

   Might've been the pizza.  Last time I order a pie with mothballs...
