I sat down in a chair late last night after eating a curious mushroom I don't remember putting in my fridge. The next thing I knew, I was walking through a strange forest, where perspective and, indeed, meaning had lost all meaning.
A man in a turban spoke furtively yet animated discussion with a pudgy man wearing a day-glo purple Keffiyeh:
Yes, ser; we serreptitiously serveyed the sercle of sergons as they sercled the insermountable servey that Yasser sirved them".I shook my head as if to clear the cobwebs and moved on. Soon, a man stood before me, dressed like a small cat, grinning in a way I found unsettling yet catchy. "I got Horslips tickets. They're the biggest thing in the world", he whispered. I pulled away and ran into a restaurant to escape the madness.
I sat at the bar, and ordered a GRain Belt as a young couple behind me decided what to have for dinner.
GUY: OK, we need a side dish.I left, unsure of what this crazy new world would do next. Posted by Mitch at July 15, 2005 06:00 PM | TrackBackGIRL: Something that goes just as well with your cobb salad as with my camel tartare..."
GUY: Baklava?
GIRL: Nah.
GUY: Doritos?
GIRL: Nope
GUY: Gum?
GIRL: GUM! PERFECT! It's the number one snack food in America as interpreted in Marty World
I don't know what's more unnerving - the fact that I have no idea what the hell you are talking about, or the fact that this surrealistic dispatch will be posted at 6:00 PM, or one hour and 39 minutes from now.

//oh yeah, THIS (http://www.shotinthedark.info/archives/005889.html) clears it up.
I'm guessing it's a veiled complaint about a Keegan's trivia question? Remember the rules! No whining! That includes allegorical whining, too.
Posted by: Lileks at July 15, 2005 04:23 PMRemember Mitch, it's not Marty "Nate" Newton who writes the question. He just reads 'em. Or tries to.
Terry Keegan is the brains of the trivia operation. Which probably explains a lot...
Posted by: the elder at July 15, 2005 04:33 PMChad the Elder speaks as the guy who got another of Marty's questions "right" by agreeing that chickens have earlobes.
Posted by: Doug at July 15, 2005 08:16 PMTerry [Keegan] cleared up the mystery of the missing chicken earlobe for us quite succinctly.
It's Terry's bar, it's Terry's quiz; if Terry says that chickens have earlobes then they have earlobes.
I can't argue with that! ;-)
See, that's the secret of the Fraters success; they caught on to the fact, before anyone else, that we're not playing trivia, we're playing Terry Trivia!
Thusly armed we shall overcome.
