"Ed, people, as well as I have noticed you always say and always make alot of movie, TV, song lyric, and advertisement references when explaining things...why is this?"
(thought to myself) "Who calls me Ed??? Hmm, What am I a hundred. Perhaps in dog years."
(As I attempt to control my internal laughter)
(Bursting out in tears of pity, brought forth through laughter)
(I attempt to regain my laughing composure and continue), "Alright, alright, alright, I'll be serious...IDK why."
(With a concerned stare) He quickly says, "So, You don't know why you should be serious?"
I quickly respond, "Ho, Ho, hold on a second! I'm not tryin to be a Joker, hear!" "What I meant is,I don't know why it is, I do use these easily understood references of projected sight, & sound? Maybe, TV & other medias hold more values of understanding than a nature reference, but, hold up, gimme one second...to see something."
(Pulling a book from my bag, while continuing to speak), "let me check my collectors DSM 100th edition, limited edition"
(with a pop of sarcastic joy)
"Yup its right here!!!
(Staring down at this stack of sliced turd, still in movement, I then coach myself Internally) "Eddie, just "ACT" like your sold on this one, yet confused, cause they will act if you don't."
(I look up slowly, unconvincingly confused toward the Label Maker's direction.)
(Staring across at him this therapiss, was a mirror of his game play cordless controller batteries dead, the certified educated, bugs bunny was just unable to pull even himself from his magic hat, he sat, just staring at me in shock, lost in hisbook smarts confusion, with no abnormal preconditioned methodically studied, Kix tested, mother approved paid for response to [CON]-jure. Nothingto use to guide me back into his trust control system of imagined reality.)
(I just let the awkward moment linger for a few minutes)
(Using the 30lb book to fanmy sweat to assisttheprocess ofevaporation)
(He thenglass eyed, then fell over, on to the cold floor with not a flinch on impact. Eyes shattering from their sockets)
Talking to his still motioned body, "It stinks that the DSM F$$$ing Book Store sold out of them. Ah, Do you just want this one"
(He replied with only a bodily function...which is a funny ironic one, becauseI am sitting on the toilet currently writing this part & we areboth pushing out the same response)
"Jesus!" I exclaimed looking down on him, "Now, that's an even bigger big stinky Popey!"
