Okay, thanks. That's likely it. My predilection, of
course, is precisely for that pharmakonesque
undecidability, but I keep trying to hear some sort of
Armand Allegre-esque pun in there as well. "Soup's on
the ..."? Well, maybe not. Perhaps my suspicion of a
trace can be a little too much, but ... but, well, I
leave niceties of plot, theme, character, what have
you, to others. I'm here to do what perhaps only I'll
do, and if somebody's gotta do it, it might as well be
me, so ... so somewhere in my thirtith onsecutive hour
of consciousness ...
