Comments on: Day 151: 8 Random Facts http://cerebraljetsam.wordpress.com/2007/07/10/day-151-8-random-facts/ JETSAM–[noun]: goods cast overboard deliberately, as to lighten a vessel or improve its stability Tue, 07 Oct 2008 21:58:38 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: anaj http://cerebraljetsam.wordpress.com/2007/07/10/day-151-8-random-facts/#comment-1361 anaj Wed, 11 Jul 2007 15:37:14 +0000 http://cerebraljetsam.wordpress.com/2007/07/10/day-151-8-random-facts/#comment-1361 The one time that my club fantasy really saved my life was in 1991 on an 18 hour bus trip to Calella, Spain. I was sitting in the second row and the bus was packed with people who had just been released from the German Democratic Republic. The guy sitting in front of me must have been so heavy that he managed to break the sit which as a result bent further back than all the others, hardly giving me any leg room. Those people, not yet acquainted with the treacherous wonderworld of capitalism, didn't stop commenting on whatever they saw through the window and I felt squeezed to death, mentally and physically. Had I not had my imaginary club, I probably would have. If Calella doesn't ring a bell: It's the continental Mallorca. That season, plastic strawberries which ejected a little penis when you squeezed them were high in fashion on the souvenir stalls.

(I should have done porn instead, really.) Good to hear I have sledgehammer-psychosis-sisters! Maybe we could take a trip to Las Vegas together at some point, sit down somewhere and just let our minds go nuts. :-) (oh--Las Vegas, btw, is one of the places on earth I dislike the most--just to clarify my selection.)

And I admit that I have imagined the accompanying sound of breaking bones sometimes.
