Whatever.

Cartoon Logic 101-- Or Enchanting for the Mondo Bizarro (hint: forget about probability)

We've said it before to no-one there, not even the chair, and we'll probably mumble it yet again into the abyss of distratification, but one should be brushing up on cartoon logic, Lulu,  as it is the order of this moment in the reality iteration. Do not be remiss, because this is the ecosystem in which your enchantments land, so take it into account. Also, Elvis says "hi". Elvis is surprisingly chatty and wise these days. Well, and really funny. That helps. As we've often noted in this hallowed space, there is never a bad time for a dance craze when no dance craze is expected. We could go on with some arcane and technical expositions on the new physics and the whimsical addition known as "The Wasp Effect", but this level of wack pseudo-science is an entire subject of its own. Just bust a move.

Not Not Weird

If you've read Lulu Lopez vs. The Wicked Witch of West Texas in any iteration, you know about Godzilla Wasps and the under-appreciated pseudo-science ultra-rule: "The Wasp Effect" which was made up as a whim.

What was only recently discovered is the Godzilla Wasps' genetic progenitors in another universe, which also, as fate would have it, features a unicorn in a peculiar form.

Where the Deer and the Antelope Roam

Herd is not the word. Rugged privateering and Be Prepared, Sugarland Adventures is booking a next expedition. What would Elvis do? That's worth considering. Also, WWED bracelets is also worth considering. It's most likely happening. What's important to remember is that the data can be mashed up into a fractal paste as a strange attractor unguent to treat cases of advanced singularity vortex fever.

Workshop: Orienteering the Abstract

Walla Walla and Nowhere event announcement: Orienteering the Abstract. No charts or compasses apply to the navigation of emerging wilds, so bring whatever sensibilities might be suited. Masks are often required attire, but, whatever. Wear what you want. There's no telling til the telling what the bound will be of the tale, so practical guises are difficult to assume.

Dance Craze, BTW

Water Water Spelling Bee

Because spelling is ever important to the etymologic set, we present another Midnight Spelling Bee in iterations for the foreseen future. The current theme of the Spelling Bee is "Myth and Thought Experiments in Linear Letter Formations". The words are sometimes to be conjured on the spot, and yet must also contain etymologic logic, so study all things known and unknown, as from this pool might the linguistic units be drawn. Sense is expected to emerge from the word selection as a pretty darned interesting oracle. Participants in the Spelling Bee should select a weird thing of any description. It doesn't have to be a real thing. In fact, try that, Lulu. Make sure it's not real. That's the thought experiment.

Wild West Vocabulary Lesson

Language springs amid its own associations, thus, self-engendered signified. We don't try for absurdity, rather it seems built in to the model. Humans didn't invent irony. They were, arguably, slow in the uptake. "Don't miss that something is funny just because the joke is on you," is what a wise disembodied voice once said in a place and time unknown. Language contains time, if you care to look. That's the nature of the beast. It's important to study the history of a language, its origins.

Just imagine all of the possible etymologies embedded in such a language. Used in a sentence:

"Finding herself swept in a swirling night of carnivale, Lulu donned a mask and acquiesced to the momentum, for this place and time was an expression of a complex set of interacting imaginings."j

If you ever find yourself bereft for lack of absurdity, remember, you can always read your diaries.

LOL

Midnight: Elvis and the Elvises

It doesn't not look rather like this.

That's right; Elvis and the Elvises return to the New Black Mansion at intervals of undefinable cadence in their oscillation between Nowhere and Walla Walla. Whenever it occurs is midnight somewhere and here and nowhere, so it's highly suspect and most likely a joke. Be that as it may, it happens, as funny things sometimes do. So catch a performance if you get the chance, because this trans-galactic super-group is fronted by Elvis and features a fabulous host of Elvises of every single description imaginable. Elvis and the Elvises, however, point out that there is no hierarchy and as far as you know the "real" Elvis could be any member of the group and vise versa. Performances are both musically challenging and breathtakingly absurd. "Having lived the life of Elvis for real, I can tell you this is barely absurd," said the Elvis we spoke to. The story is developing, so stay tuned.

Nowhere Events Announcements Format

Announced henceforth in retrospects, as always, except when pre-somethinged, which sometimes happens. This format suits the time-adept best, as it ever allows for the selection of the most lurid bits. It makes perfect sense when one thinks of it. So, Lulu, as ever, carry on.

Also, if you see a good deal on a theremin, let us know. The playing of such would seem to be the most constructive sort of diversion. Which is to say, it would be awfully funny if one had a really idiotic sense of humor, which, luckily, is in abundance, here and abroad.
