Dream of the "Bob" Pill

The other day I was reading Saucer Wisdom by Rudy Rucker. You should
too. You should read anything by Rudy Rucker. Part of the action of
the story takes place at a party thrown by Mondo 2000, a pretentious fin
de siecle hipstergeek magazine, kind of like Burning Man on paper. So
that night I dreamed I was sitting on a couch at that party, looking at
a little red tin box with a hinged lid, which was a copy of Mondo 2000.
One of the pages was a transparent plastic pocket containing a medium
sized white pill. The pill was shaped like a Dobbshead, and had a blue
Dobbshead printed on it. I took the pill out of the pocket, holding it
between my thumb and index finger, and turning to Stang, who was sitting
behind me on a couch back to back with mine, asked, "Does this do what I
think it does?" "There's only one way to find out," he replied. So I
took the "Bob" pill. Immediately I felt a creamy metallic flavor
soaking into the whole inside surface of my mouth, and a female
voiceover said, "Thank you for downloading (unclear). You will already
be feeling it entering your system. These Italian toxins have a
seventy-five percent fatality rate. If you survive, have a pleasant
experience." I then began to have a drug trip which so nearly resembles
waking up from a dream, that I still appear to be experiencing it.

Moral: The "Bob" pill WAKES YOU UP.

You have to take the red Connie pill within eleven minutes, eleven seconds
or you become Nenslo on paper.

More like YOUR Burning Man, which IS on paper.

Are you SURE? There's only one way to find out.

Incidentally the name of the program IS in fact "Unclear."

We thought of calling it "Uncular" as a joke on Bush.

I took the "Bob" pill again a while back. It was very helpful, as I
grew a dick out of my coccyx, which discouraged Blackout and his
sodomy dreams. Then it fell off like a vestigal tail when its job was
done. Those are some GREAT PILLS! It was even MORE fun the time I grew
those THREE dicks up front for a week. Even those 35 ex-wives who are
bleeding Philo white will at least testify for the "Bob" pills. Philo
is Dobb's Jack Nicholson, which would make Sterno the John Belushi, if
he was dead. Um, he's not dead yet, is he? Anyway, those are some
GREAT PILLS! Might even grow regurgeieff his FIRST dick, although he
won't know what to do with it. GREAT pills, yezzir.

I keep forgetting the difference.

No, but there was a time when we traded our mimeographed "zines." His
was Reality something and ours was Something Fist.

Nenslo on paper is more like Nenslo in Real Life than Burning Man on
paper is like Burning Man in real life. But they're still all four
totally different things, so it's a dumb argument really.

The absence of mimeo-fluid is one reason why the web has failed so
miserably--taking down the OMNI magazine empire and her legions of Giger-
inspired kooks! Looks like this usenet still has reserve tanks though.
Blessed be, this forgotten network of fumes!

Last I heard, Nenslo will still do paintings on commission.

((NYUCK NYUCK!! JUST A JOKE, NENSLO! I really think you're a great
artist! Since you sent me that keen old Russian movie with the guys in
dinosaur suits and the HOT thickset 1960s Russian female cosmonaut.))
