Those segments about a train by Alexander Shulgin and his wife in that notorious “mind-expansion drug” book reminded me of this story about a conversation between two New Yorkers on the topic of other people:
Guy: “I’ve been thinking lately about how great it would be to have a girlfriend who was as
high as a Marihuana marijuana plant.”
Me: “Oh, that’s great, I’m Tedium 31″
Guy: “And I’ve been thinking about the fact that I’m probably going to have to be celibate for the rest of my
natural lifespan.”
Me: “Oh, that’s great, I’m Miriam 22″
Guy: "And I’ve been thinking about the fact that I can’t predict whether I’ll be reincarnated in the
after-life as a fish, a pigeon or a cow.”
Me: “Oh, I’m Ulysses 33″
Guy: "And I’ve been thinking about the fact that I’ll probably die before I’m forty years old.”
Me: “Oh, we’re just getting started, I’m Livy 2″
Guy: "And I’ve been thinking about the fact that I stutter at
introductions.”
Me: “Oh, Livy 3″
Guy: "And the fact that the idea of sending your girlfriend to an occult Ivy leech cult seemed like
basically the same exact thing like the Twilight Zone and Buffy The Vampire
Slayer.”
Me: “But I’m Vorkosigan 5″
