Balaam did something to that ass that spake to him!
I myself, you might say, *knew*, my Honda Elite CH 250
scooter, when I fellated myself through the cylinder's
bore, while I had it apart, rebuilding the engine.
About that time, I took over as my main login at work
a project to which I had given the login name Centaur.
Then I suffered an interesting riding phenomena: As the
scooter's transmission began to spall and deteriorate,
I had feelings of thin flakes of metal interpenetrating
the flesh around my mouth, before I knew it was failing.
That reminds me of a GR character naked in a dumpster of
metal shavings. (Flipping, flipping, page not to be found)
Shortly thereafter, the whole Ezekiel Ch 1 interpretation
(as internal combustion engine) fell into my lap easily.
Of course, that brings to mind the following AOS experience:
