You know, I hear that all East Asian languages use the same alphabet and they can all read each other’s writing. And I also hear that LSD has rat poison in it. And one time this guy told me that there was a little dead kid’s ghost in the movie Three Men and a Baby. And this other time, somebody said that birds can’t burp, so if you give them Alka-Seltzer, they explode. And this one friend of mine assures me that Kurt Vonnegut’s speech to some graduating class was the basis of that “Sunscreen” song that was so popular a while back. Oh, and, you know Proctor & Gamble? Satanists. Donate half their profits to the Church of Satan. And Tommy Hilfiger hates black people. That’s right. I’m through fighting ignorance. Now I’m fighting _for_ ignorance. So nyaa! ---

Once, I took a CD, a magical CD, one that possesed the powers of Windows 3.1 . I took this cd, and fused it with a CD of Linux. This powerful fusion of CDs powered the earth for many many milennium until I turned on “That 70’s Show” and posted and watched TV at the same time. Then i walked into the bathroom, which was next to the Automotive center, in Sears, because thats where I live. Its so much better than JCPenny, because of the waxed floors. The floors when waxed are more reflective than non-waxed floors, which was proved by Tesla. Tesla, which reminds me of the Tesla Coils in that old Command and Conquer: Red Alert Game, was a very kooky guy. I saw him once in a vision. This vision occured while I lost my glasses. With no glasses, there was a reason to go to the eyeglass place. While going there, I realized that the wheel was moving by itself. At this point I exited the vehicle and landed on a giant oil refinery smoke stack / New Jersey. Once there, I remembered that this story has no central plot and lack of actual point. Then I told myself i had to stop typing even though the sound of me typing is quite enjoyable. ---
