s was a particle that was heading to
split the sun and so I figured that since I was gonna die anyway, I'd write
this theory all down so I rolled up a fattie and did just that while I
waited for sunrise. Well, the world didn't end that morning and since I was
a college student at the time and I had a paper due for my political science
class and my prof was a real cool Korean dude named Dr. Kim and he hated the
military industrial complex and nukes I took the paper to class, still
trippin my butt off and turned it in as an essay and everyone looked at me
funny and their faces were melting and there were rainbows crawling up the
walls and lights shooting out of people's noses so I had to leave but this
was the 70's, like I said and the next day everyone thought it was cool and
Dr. Kim didn't look like the catepillar in Through The Looking Glass and he
told me how "imaginative" he thought I was so I felt better...I guess people
back then thought this kinda stuff was normal.
You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw this a few years
ago.
