In Which My Ego Boundaries Collapse

When Strawman suggested my mom might moonlight as Dr. Banzai, a quick phone call confirmed it. I suddenly realized that I’d known everyone on the Drabblecast forums all along.

Strawman did performance art downtown.

Flintknapper taught Xenolinguistics at the university.

That oddly well-read ATM at the bank? PhineasQP.

ROU operated the FBI surveillance van down the street.

I had beers with MonsieurMoustache every Friday.

Tbaker: definitely that creeper who follows me when I run.

ASID got drunk and panhandled behind Wal-mart.

How could this be? It was impossible. Unless...

I looked into the mirror. Norm Sherman stared back at me.

I think I just splorted.

And if you ever really need too, just click those ruby slippers together three times while saying, "There's no place like Drabbleland".

If you're an ATM, does that mean you just shot free money all over the place? Because that would be awesome.

If I try it, am I going to end up as Varda or as Norm? Because it's a loooooong walk to Baltimore, and these ruby slippers have terrible arch support!

Just down the hallway from the playroom in our house, right ROU?

You're not being paddy-wagon dragged anywhere we won't already be. Bring a six-pack.

You're on, ol' drinking buddy.

I'll bring the usual.

And Strawman, what's the story behind this "house" of yours...? Just curious.

No, no, NO!
Panhandle in front of Wal-mart. Dumpster dive behind it!

(Note to self: Best to panhandle before diving for breakfast.)

Not "house". House.
It is the quintessential Drabblecast fieldguide, House of Leaves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Z._Danielewski.

ROU and I suspect it was written under the direct influence of the angel Moroni.

Pshaw, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! And who do you think's leaving their extra moonshine in the dumpster for you?

Ahhhh. I'm grokking you now.
