I found this writeup by Googling the name of GY!BE’s track, and absolutely fell in love with this short text, which I often find myself returning to, reading and re-reading, imagining, and laughing about the cooperation of the music and the words :)

Thank you very much!

In reply to Leslie James. Probably more than slightly. Derangement is so hard to quantify.

Very enjoyable, but worrisome. Are you slightly deranged?

Comment on How To Start The New Year. by Mom

You know, I received a year-starter early in my adult life. It was a gift, I believe. I know I didn’t buy it. Something of an antique, even then, it was one of those wind-up rubber band ones. Maybe you’ve never seen one. The biggest problem with those kind was getting the rubber band wound tightly enough and then holding on to it while you got into the proper position at the top of the step ladder, strapped on the enclosed helmet, and recited the months of the year backwards. ( I never really understood why you couldn’t have wound it last, but the instructions were quite specific and the skull and crossbones did give me pause.)
I only used it the one year–1960something–and the results were, shall we say, questionable. I’m not going to take sole responsibility for…Anyway…I dug it out after reading your article. The rubber band was hard and crunchy. The propeller was bent and the chin strap for the helmet was completely chewed through. (Mice?) I’m thinking of donating it to some museum if I can find one that will give it the place it deserves. Any ideas?
So I just wanted to say thanks for your insight into year-starting. It took me back to times past. Oh, my goodness. Look at that. It’s 2015 and I’m late…Is that a white rabbit at the door?…

In reply to Barf Face.

He died.

Ha ha, just kidding. The story will continue, and soon.

Then he dies.

In reply to unsightly. Mizz Unsightly -- as always, your compliments would warm the cockles of my heart, if I had a heart and knew what cockles were. As a token of my gratitude, I grant you "dibs" on the second-in-command position in the affinity group/pyramid scheme/quasi-religious cult I plan to start. (It's really the best position to have, because you get to kill and displace me as leader if I drift too far from the "True Path," which always happens in these situations.)
