Too funny. Beautiful & funny funny funny ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿงก ๐Ÿญ. I also wanted to know if the naked walk home happened. How fun was that? ๐Ÿ˜˜

I've corroborated with the Emma and she agrees this is all pretty much accurate.

That's a cracker!

Your musings/stories are a tonic.

Each time one pops up, I know I'm in for a treat.

I'd give you a job no question.

It's been a while since I took LSD so I don't know if I'd be as sharp as I was back then.

Brilliant! The diagram did help with the pen/belt combo, otherwise a sniggerful delight!

I considered reaching out to some of my favourite illustrators (you're one of them) but the drawing part ended up being almost as much fun as the writing.

It is a lovely drawing!

Beautiful. Hilarious. Picture pretty much what I had imagined although clarification around the bic pen appreciated. Hope you find work soon.

Thank you! It was enormous fun to write. I'd pause and ask myself if it would make any sense to a reader and then think, sod it I'm having a laugh here.

Oh my good God... that was absolutely hilarious.

I can't. This substack has reminded me how much I love to laugh. I needed that. I feel like you're equal measures of insanely intelligent on an individual basis and a total numpty in the collective narrative... Feels reminiscent to being psychotic and trying to function in society ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. Except just gloriously funny ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿงก. So so so much fun to read.

More please.

No way did you walk home naked from Harrison Park???

paul lambie's avatar

Aye, but I haven't always lived on the other side of town.

Sleep deprivation will get you there. I read something about all mammals hearts beating around about the same amount of time over a lifetime. It really helped me think of time as an abstraction.
