“We are the stories we tell ourselves. We are what we say we are. What am I? I’m not sure I want to know anymore and I’m not supposed to say that. I’m tired of telling this story.”

Most hurtful way to be insulted is when somebody makes up a mean rhyme about your name. Not only is that the name that my own mother gave me, but you're desecrating it using the weapons of a poet!?

The Bill Berry story in this issue is wild but also so endearing.

Somewhere on a Midwestern farm, a jacked turkey is doing bicep curls with extra-large cans of cranberry sauce. "Not this year," he growls. "Not this year."

We have a very strong feeling of ownership towards our bodies, but that sense depends upon the brain stitching together disparate streams of sense data through a process of "intermodal matching," one that can be easily and quickly disrupted for freaky results.

The "liver, fava beans and a nice chianti" line in Silence Of The Lambs is a little joke for psychiatrists in the audience - those foods cannot be consumed with the meds (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) that Lecter is supposed to be taking.

Cranberries are a good start, but all of our holiday food should be grown in bogs. We need more festive mosses and lichens in our diet.
