- I'm sorry - I have to. I just can't resist these things any more.
- May Jaysus who is all-powderful forgive my sins up to and including
- poor character lack of sensitivity and out-n-out rudeness. Thank you
- Gawd.

- Found this here son of a gun on alt.prose which is where you
- kin go to see the original in its original untarnished form
- pure and sweet as the droppins of a newborn lamb.

- 4th Street and Main Dreamscape
-
- The woe originated in my foundation <Dad gum them termites!>. It was
- there that my technicolor nightmare began. <Panavision, too.
- Expensive, but quality is Job One.> It was destined to occur
- <contracted with the film crews two months back>, so I made no effort
- to change it <although I'd already had some cost overruns on my
- clove-cigarette budget>. The events were already bronzed into the
- fabric of time <and shit, did that ever cost. You think
- silk-screening is expensive?> so in some perverted way <that bronze in
- the time. Mixed fibers and all. I knew I was sinning, but I couldn't
- help myself. I was in the grip of Satan.> this chain of events was
- meant to unfold <or, rather, undangle, as such catenated instants in
- the golden macrame' of existence are wont to do.>
-
- I wonder who deemed it so. <Must of been the production execs.>

- The path twisted out ahead toward its destination. <No, just kidding.
- Actually it was going back.. past... past to the back!> I noticed it
- was bordered by subservient grass. <It just begged to be mowed, but I
- didn't have my Toro-1600, so I left well enough along.> Pretty and
- nice, this grass was meant to be <Come on then, why don't you just
- stop for a second and give it a spank? Pretty please?> My feet paced
- their cumbersome way along the path steadily-<I felt a small tear of
- longing in my eye, watching them go>-for I had an appointment. Sweat
- dripped methodically from my <jutting> forehead, rinsing the sockets
- in my skull <well, the contacts were getting a little greasy anyway>.
- And it burned <gotta cut back on the gasoline...>, so I tried to wipe
- it away. But it came back, because at that moment my eyes were meant
- to sting. <Shit. Goddamn scriptwriters.>
-
- The trail finally reached its destination, a small glade of trees.
- <It sat down and took a swig from its hip flask. "Wild Turkey," it
- explained. "Want some?"> It looked out of place, just as I felt, so
- it made me happy <with its delicious body. We made love, like
- mustelidae in the joy of our spirit, all night long.> I cried I sighed
- a little at my revelation--there are some fringe benefits involved in
- insanity. <Ain't that the truth.> Knowing that an appointment was
- willed to occur, I looked <around for the National Geographics. There
- were none. I was chilled to the bowels of my soul. What sort of
- Satanic pervert would this man be? In what ancient and corrupt rites
- would he involve me? Into what orifices would he prod his devilish
- instruments? To what foul ends would he torture my syntax?> at the
- trees expectantly. Who would this grim stranger be? <could it be...
- could it be... Kibo? KIBO! My heart was pounding; my blood froze.>
- An infusion of fetish was ready to take place. <The needle was poised
- and ready; the solution of latex gleamed, virulent.>
-
-
- My Turing Multimeter (Fluke, TM-1070; get one if you haven't already)
- buzzed here, and I had to stop. I apologize for the loss to the
- world's literary treasuries.
