I’m not sure if it was intentional, but it is the first thing that greets you as you enter Bonkersfest. That and one of those stalls where if you lob enough bricks at a clown’s face you win a cuddly toy. I don’t need the incentive of a cuddly toy to hurl things at clowns.

I have never seen “normality” more perfectly defined than here. Normality really is a horrible concept, as anyone who’s ever been called “weird” by someone proud being just like everyone else will know. It’s a polite and consolatory way of saying “boring”. Kay Redfield Jamison once said that you have to be very certain of your own sanity before you can call someone else insane. Einstein meanwhile observed that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Be very afraid of anyone who considers themselves “normal”.

I was thus quite happy with my result, particularly after a few recent events, though this could have been due to my answer to what I would do with a spoon.
