The Mind Is a Dark Forest, Updated

[nonelvis]

I realized as I was falling asleep last night that I may be able to trace my shameful love of The Real World/Road Rules Challenge to my early childhood, when as a family activity, we would sit and watch such top-quality programming as The Gong Show, Battle of the Network Stars (aka "Battle of the T's and A's," which is what my parents called it), and yes, on occasion, The $1.98 Beauty Pageant.

Parents: they fuck you up in ways you can't even imagine.

Benny Hill was the absolute greatest.... so weird, surreal. We're not affected in the slightest. Not at all in any way. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go play "Yakety Sax" for no reason whatsoever.

If I have that running through my head all day, I'm going to kill you. (After chasing you around the park at top speed, complete with funny costume changes ...)
