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.

My preferred controlled substance is a Honduran cigar...

Comment by Seaman Jay on January 12, 2012 at 4:20am: 'tsounds like the last call for reconsideration of your controlled substance of choice... And - maybe - your pizza joint as well... :D

Comment by Ron "Oily" Sprague on January 12, 2012 at 2:11am: 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.

Comment by Uncle John on January 12, 2012 at 2:03am: 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...

Comment by Slowpaw Steve T on January 11, 2012 at 10:51pm: ...was it something in the Pizza...? (-8
