An under-developed idea. Well, another one, anyway.

Kerri asks me a question, and I answer in that difficult way that I often do. Kind of Plato-Socratic, really.

"Kerri" (1:44:19 PM): why are you so ridiculous?
Pinball jedi 42 (1:44:35 PM): many people have asked that question,
Pinball jedi 42 (1:44:50 PM): I've asked myself atleast twice for every person
"Kerri" (1:45:11 PM): oh. your shoes are in here. just so's you know.
Pinball jedi 42 (1:45:23 PM): yeah, I realized that this morning
"Kerri" (1:46:09 PM): okeokey.
Pinball jedi 42 (1:49:18 PM): but about my ridiculousness, it's really kind of a mystery
Pinball jedi 42 (1:49:24 PM): kind of like causation
"Kerri" (1:49:41 PM): you can't blame everything on mystery
Pinball jedi 42 (1:49:58 PM): I'm not blaming everything on mystery
Pinball jedi 42 (1:50:04 PM): some of it I can blame on my parents,
Pinball jedi 42 (1:50:11 PM): but then you have to ask why they're ridiculous
Pinball jedi 42 (1:50:26 PM): lets take one example for my father
Pinball jedi 42 (1:50:31 PM): he's a re-enactor
Pinball jedi 42 (1:50:35 PM): which is kind of ridiculous
Pinball jedi 42 (1:51:07 PM): but is my father ridiculous because he dresses up in wool and plays army in the middle of july?
Pinball jedi 42 (1:51:24 PM): or does he dress up in wool and play army in the middle of july because he's ridiculous?
Pinball jedi 42 (1:51:28 PM): for myself,
Pinball jedi 42 (1:52:31 PM): do I dress up like a pirate and hit people with foam swords, calling myself "shovak" because I'm ridiculous, or vice versa?
Pinball jedi 42 (1:53:19 PM): so you can see, there is inherent difficulty in answering a question like "why are you so ridiculous" because of the ambiguity of what the "why" part actually means
"Kerri" (1:53:56 PM): ...do you really think i have listened to all of this?
Pinball jedi 42 (1:54:08 PM): no
Pinball jedi 42 (1:54:15 PM): but I assume at some point you might read it
Pinball jedi 42 (1:54:25 PM): hell, I find it kind of interesting. I might put it up on untitled
