Those connoisseurs of simulcra may feast on this:
{ A recent analysis of access on our system shows that activity on your

> Can you believe it? The traffic to my webpage, my joint-affection of
co-in/habit(u)ation has grossed me out....If I might be so bold as to
evoke Henry Miller(not to mention Rabelais or the specter of the gross
which was the power of Caravaggio), this joint-affection is more like
a joint-affucktion, or as physicists love to call it, a matrixial
synchrofuckinnicity. Participation in this project exposed me to a Golem
I can't afford. I am "at-risk" of being homeless. One must laugh at such
things, as did Dr.Da Vinci when pulling the flesh out of corpse to study
anatomy and suggest medical science. And I understand why John Cage
laughed when he said "We aren't trying to make things better, we're
trying to make them worse!" The only thing to do, if you don't mind,
is to turn you upside down--I really need to--in order to actually get
it. Yes, I am happy about this misfortune, and saliva is dripping off
the white lips of my eyeteeth. But I have to go off now, and forget me
though we never met, you A+ you-know-what, I cannot afford you anymore.
