should've said something

I fear the Principality may not be welcoming to our kind.

That, or I95 South is the road to perdition.

I rode the purple line, and I didn't see any difference between Providence & Boston...Except for this little flash of trees and people that looked like they came from Effingham, IL, and then it was all good again.  But it couldn't have been more than an eighth of a mile strip with the goggle-eyed people staring at the train all sideways.  I figured it was an insane asylum.

Roger, where in Newfoundland are you from? I have a friend from St. Johns.

OH JESUS CHRIST. DO NEVAR STEP OFF A TRAIN ANYWHERE THAT LOOKS LIKE EFFINGHAM, IL.

Heh oh that place. The alternate reality that separates the two and incidentally is also where eoc dwells.

It's an odd train ride.

You'll see a tree, then another tree that looks just like it whizzing by the window.  For half a second, absurdly, you'll wonder if those two blurs were actually the exact same tree.  You'd be right, though.

Well, you'd be wrong.  It's not the exact same tree in two different locations.  That'd be absurd!  It's the same tree that you're perceiving twice.  That's really all we have for protection around these parts, to save us from the savages and the cannibals of the rest of southern new england.  You can walk right in once you find that spot.

You just might not want to do that with a harpoon.  And something to trade.  When the dwellers come round to some new curiosity wandering in with wishes and baubles to trade, you'd best not be caught with only intangibles.

I've seen that place.

Fucking.

NO WAI

You're the same age, almost. You could have gone to high school together!

She's seriously badass. Tiny, but badass.

I left Newfoundland in 1979, so no, not high school.  But it's a small city.  PM me her name?  I still remember a person or two.

Some guy got "un-friended" for rebutting an Objectivist on his list about Ayn Rand.

HOLY SHIT!  That happened?  And on Facebook???  That poor guy...  Thank you for telling me, and thank god you were there to help!



Sorry new guy (and welcome), I have a hate-on for folks who bring Anne Rand into conversations about other things.  It feels culty and I tune out.

I can relate. When people fire shotgun blasts from the other side of a mountain I'm driving up, it feels kinda culty and I turn the fuck around.

Heh...for purposes of this post though could just as well have been Anne Rice. Kind of had that extraneous detail stuck in my recounting of the whole thing cause of the number of this guy's friends who popped up to tell him that he should be ashamed of himself for hurting someones feeling's over such a sensitive and controversial topic. And I'm thinking "Fucking Ayn Rand is on that list now, too?" And then appreciating the irony of "Keep your filthy individuality out of my shrine to individualism," and then making almost the same resolution as you.

Point being, great post. Even better resolution. Should definitely lead to high levels of personal growth and maybe a bonus hysterical overreaction or two.
