LITTLE KNOWN FACTS, EPISODE 1: VIETNAM IS PRETTY MUCH WHERE ALL SAYINGS COME FROM, A SEVEN PART HISTORY by DAN WEAVER
PART I: Far ago, in ancient times all known cliches were conceived and scribed on
scrolls in Vietnam.
PART II: Tragically, the scrolls were destroyed during a bloody conflict in that land sometime during the late 20th century.
PART III: Luckily the cliches have been carried on through word of mouth and stronger, less ancient scrolls.
PART IV: However, many neofascist Canadians have organized an effort to dispute the origin of the sayings, claiming them as their own.
PART V: As a veil of credibility, the Canadians have several nefarious scholars on their payroll.
PART VI: If the ancient scrolls were still intact, honor would be returned to the Vietnamese people, who are, by the way, a humble people.
PART VII: Legend has it that some of these original scrolls remain undamaged, hidden away deep in the jungle, guarded by a clan of monks.

{The Kinks - Strangers}
I’m pretty sure this song is about one of two things:
1. A grand dichotomy, one we all face at some point(s) in our lives: reaching a level of despair so deep, losing so much hope, that you are compelled to live - LIVE! A man simultaneously fleeing and seeking. He’s found something - a feeling, a notion, a memory, an idea, a part of himself maybe - and with it solidarity. He doesn’t care where they go or what they bring, as long as they are with each other and as long as it’s not here. Here is rotten. Stasis is a sin. None of it matters so much that everything matters not one bit. It’s wonderfully sad and terribly encouraging. Dreading each step yet not wanting it - IT - to end. Not now. There is too much to find out. Most of it hurts. And if I live too long I’m afraid I’ll die
2. Hitchhiking.
Code wrangling with @avoidiam. 6 monitors + 2 laptops + 3 OS’s + 1 Rockies game + 1 Victorian Bulldog = lots of coffee tomorrow morning

I feel like everything is crooked— literally. I might vomit.
