The notorious West Side Clevelandian SubGenius known
as iDRMRSR
(pronounced "Mister Sister" by me) has mentioned
his new second pad
over here on the East Side, horrifyingly close to where
We/I live, and
also very close to where the barely less notorious Rev.
Geo works at
the Emergency Slack Abuse Squad.
Well, we were there last night, and this is my testimony.
First we went to that Mongolian place at Coventry that
our fellow
Clevelandian alt.slack.fux recommended. The restaurant
is a fine one,
unusually interactive since you mix your own stir fry
basically, and
Mister Sister acted perfectly normal -- for Mister Sister
-- while we
were there.
It was when we saw his new old condo that we got worried.
It's a LONE
NUT CRAZY STALKER-MAN house if ever I saw one -- but
not the
obsessive-emergentile kind with eighteen million perfectly
cut out
pictures of one woman, or one evil politician, covering
every square
inch, and boxes of rotting media. like my house. No,
it was the OTHER
kind of lone nut crazy man house -- EMPTY. Like he's
ready to flee and
change names (AGAIN, NO DOUBT!!) at a moment's notice.
Wei says this is
because he's just moved in and all his decorative stuff
is at his other
place. But I know better. There probably IS no other
place. But I
digress.
Mister Sister's place is all blank white walls, blank
white carpet, a
rudimentary set of kitchen appliances, and...
his "MODULE".
It's this huge chair-room-environment-cybermonster that
he's actually
plugged into with tubes! He puts on this weird mask
with all these
wires and clear plastic tubes full of some kind of clear
gas and while
all this stuff is feeding into him he has this TV SCREEN
the size of a
my LIVING ROOM in front of him. But get this -- this
screen is like 8
by 10 feet and yet it is just HOVERING IN THE AIR with
NO VISIBLE MEANS
OF SUPPORT WHATSOEVER. And it's thinner than a sheet
of paper. I mean,
if you stand to one side and look directly at it on
edge, it
practically disappears. Well, it DOES completely disappear
if you only
look through one eye. I was afraid to touch it because
I was afraid it
wouldn't be solid at ALL. I started to ask him about
it but he gave me
this look that said, "Maybe you've seen too much
already."
Now this giant floating screen -- which, I repeat, has
NO WIRES holding
it up and NO LEGS underneath -- can be a TV monitor
or a computer
monitor, and Mister Sister's module has this "air
keyboard" that
appears hovering before him like a keyboard made of
thin neon lines,
only, I don't think they're neon -- it's smoky looking,
obviously a
projection of some kind, but filmy looking. Anyway Mister
Sister starts
calling up subscreens and some of the time it looks
like a plain
Windows interface. But then he's showing me this "CYBER
STANG"
reconstruction he's made! I've been working on crappy
little 3D "Bob"s
for a long time now but I never saw anything like this.
And it looked
just like me, like a photo, but with creepy eyes. And
it just started
ranting nonsense. I only saw a little of this before
he shut it off,
but I could see before he closed it there was a list
of files behind
it, "Legume", "Magdalen," "Sis
Dec," various SubGenii. Now I see why he
was asking if I had any pictures of LeMur (no such thing
exists on
Earth, to my knowledge; "LeMur" might be a
committee of artists for all
we know, like Nenslo turned out to be.))
Mister Sister asked us to stay, but the bizarre reality
of this David
Lynch-like world we had been admitted into was just
too much, so we
begged out and walked home. Actually we RAn home.
But now, I am wondering... I can't stop thinking...
all those "virtual
SubGenii," that floating screen unlike any technology
I have ever seen,
those tubes and wires going into that thing on his FACE...
my god, what
nameless, formless, amorphous flopping lurking dread
is going on in
that little condo down the street??

Too bad you could not stay. I would have run some form
of visual
entertainment on that screen, and made some microwave
popcorn.
But then, you'd probably have noticed that my microwave
has a special
setting for Human Bacon.

PS...Remember that scene in Dr. NO where the doctor
is apologizing to
Bond for disturbing him with the sight of his mechanical
hands injured
in some past experiment?
Well, where the fuck WERE my MANNERS???
I should have apologized to you about that mask and
breathing
apparatus. Similar story, but I don't want to get into
it now.
