Your brain scan? I beg to differ with you. I'll have you know that is MY brain scan too. I wasn't sure we even had one, this is a relief. I was pretty sure we were taking turns with our single brain cell.
Hey, old man! I got dibbs on the brain. And water on it, too.

I already answered or commented on the parts I snipped off else where. But I wasn't sure way back among the pages here, if you were serious or not about your room in the past and the TV with the white dot. Vivid image when you wrote it. I guess I must have known that doesn't come from our type of humor and that it was very real. Still is, but I remember seeing that dot appear when the tv was turned off. It was a sure sign the tv was about to get it's tube blown. Watching a blown tube, how f***ing ironic. See here's the thing, having that white dot on the one I have now would still be ironic to me and the white noise would still be soothing. I wonder if that's out on dvd yet.
That TV was very real and very broken, like so much that was in the orphanage run by my biological family. But as I was the only orphan in the place, that TV was not a broken piece of junk to me. It was the only thing I could rely upon. It was the only thing that responded in a predictable manner, no matter what buttons were pushed, pulled or turned. It was the only thing that was warm. It was the only thing that spoke to me in a soft, pleasing manner that I could understand. It was my sole companion for many years. And it wasn't for many years after I escaped that I discovered how TV's were supposed to work.
What a disappointment. Sorry that slipped out in that previous posting. And now, you've gone and pulled some more out of me. I really don't like disturbing people with the dark matter of my life. I'd so much rather make people laugh.
You see? I really do need remedial training.
