I don't think I brought about DYBIM, tho I like the song.  I was
actually thinking about Zoyd's seduction song?  the zig zag of his
embrace?  (a
surprisingly sexy song)  and how this episode moves into magical
realism, so if you had a magic counter, like a Geiger counter, it'd be
ticking

Zoyd's lifeline after breaking with F. is rather weak here and his
attention may be
distracted.  He actually could have been doing something completely
different during this time and lied about it to the narrator for that
matter.  But we've touched on the major points - there's something otherworldly
about KA; its magical realism may be interpreted at least several
different ways, but it probably means something; its featuring of
ukulele sounds a recurring note in OBA's oeuvre.

anyway, before moving on, your comments have provoked the notion in me
that the Kahuna Airlines incident sets the tone for the Thanatoid
sequences.
