When I opened 'Zilla's piece I just thought, "Oh no. Nonononono. This is going nowhere good..." Then I saw Jima's and my fears were confirmed. "What have I done?" I am thinking to myself. It's funny, but we are getting into some unpleasant subconscious territory here... but then Heather and Charles, oh the turn! Faucets and fish from the sky! And the title is brilliant! I officially pronounce it a very unlikely triumph.

The title - that should be a Peter Murphy song, I think.

And here I was afraid the subconscious imagery in my part were going to be too . . .freaky. This is definately one for Dr. Freud. Actually it sort of sums of the stages of psychoanalytic development - not to interpret a surrealist piece to narritively or anything. I can also see sort of the banal and mundane waking hours giving way to daydreams and then to sleeping dreams. I think it's just a happy accident. I love the trout! Hmmm...I just notices the head in Heather's part could be very "motherly" and it flows into my, um . . . sexy kissy deal. Of course I didn't see that part when I was working! We are all abnormally normal, I suppose. Group theapy is at 8:00 p.m. I'll bring the coffee. Overall I think this one is fun and interesting.

you know, I had no idea what I was getting into when I was building from jima's strip. I mean, I know we aren't supposed to be able to guess and all, but I just could not have predicted the perversity that came before my contribution.

It's an angel, Charles, that is beaming down on your 'sexy kissy deal' and if there's any being that would condone such things, it would be an angel. especially an angel who conjures trout from the nurse-filled sky with a gesture of her transparent hand.

and 'zilla, you so crazy, with your potty-talk!

Hey don’t blame me Heather. Those are taken, as is, from a Japanese manual instructing parents how to toilet train mentally retarded children. Don’t ask.

don't ask why there is such a manual, or why *you* have it available to you?

It was just one of those rare things you find accidentally. You start out looking up a streetmap on Yahoo! and 38 minutes later you’re on a Japanese manual instructing parents how to toilet train mentally retarded children. You know.

(Hee hee!) This looks like a poster on some scary pediatrician's wall. And one of the patients - maybe the toddler at the top - has taken a pen to Charles' piece.

That is a truly disturbing psychiatric nightmare, that somehow explodes into subconscious imagery. How bizarre. *winks*
