Tripping over conch shells that play logrithm and blues when treated to a filet-o-fish (sans the melancholy), you sculpt mobius cheerios wondering where to buy 3% milk.

You realize that you don’t want any points, because it is all pointless.

The mouse picks up the cheese, yanking on the attatched string which turnins the crank, which triggers the boot, which knocks the bowling ball down the ramp, which hits one end of the teeter board forcing it downwards and forcing the other end upwards, in turn which hits the switch on the electric fan creating a breeze that sends the toy sail boat sailing across the bathtub, the pool cue attatched to the toy boat hits the minute hand on the cuckoo clock, turning it to ten o’ clock, The cuckoo bird starts popping in and out of his little door-cuckooing, the steak knife attatched to the cuckoo’s little platform saws through the rope holding the anvil… sadly the cartoon mouse you drew on the blueprints the night before came to life in the night and changed the measurments, so now instead of the anvil hanging over the little painted bullseye where the mouse stands, it hangs over your head.
