Contrary to concepts of great and serious mindmatter, there is no “it” to toss around like a ragbaby, trainwreck bedamned, Horatio! With friends like Horatio, Hamlet (Hamlet, Horatio) who needs fingertwisters, torturers and bagmen?

Concepts bedamned–there’s plenty to go around!

+magic coffee which causes people to never sleep–hence, sleep deprivation, hence, hallucination and other assorted sleeplessness related dementia

Man can never leave diner, but he has a bottomless cup of coffee–cast of characters visit him… (literary)

Masks–used to represent the roles/characters people take on
what if in a “realistic” play actors wore marks, removed them at points when the “real” pokes through–or maybe a good acting exercise…

Set could be a dogcatcher
How much can I cram into one thing?

Who knew A’s true name?

Nought but a counting stark eats the green bagels and that’s a shame, Bertauzer murmured, grasping his sick belly to himself. ‘Ow’s he getting out the rope, now? Every gas has been analyzed and promoted beyond its pasty interferencing.

are you some kind of monkey glutton for online comics? or do you have a taste for glitter on your tongue? either way, there’s some things you can never get out of your mouth, here’s hoping anyway!

pshaw! warminster the oldenstyle cat, just eats and eats everything he can. That’s his way, the parmeluke, and p’raps sometime soon the daisty old cat-thing will grace us with his/her presence soon. blackandwhite or orangeandpumpkiny, that’s the size of it. mostlike. it’s been too long since that old cat-thing slept with us and laid his/her tail on our slight and wobbly head. yarr. here’s to claws and mudding hours and yellowyellow glowing eyes! three qaffs of liquor for that!

This article at the Boston Globe discusses analysis of America’s so-called cruise to empire. I liked this conclusion particularly (though I don’t agree with it entirely; I don’t think disinterest is necessarily a vice and certainly not unique to the States.):

For many years, Americans have resisted any expensive and long-lasting involvement with countries whose ways of life are thoroughly unfamiliar. We resist an imperial role for America not because we are humanitarians and internationalists but because we are stingy with our government and lack genuine interest in the rest of the world. Our best defenses against empire, as it turns out, lie not in our virtues but in our vices.
