    In an insane world, the sane must appear insane.

    Being the only sane person in the universe is a pretty clear sign of insanity. I work with whackadoos across the board, so I've had to adopt a steady personality over the years. Went a little overboard with it. I had a doctor who was concerned with my lack of stress. He thought I might have been a sociopath. Then I had a shrink check it out, but I passed. Or failed. Not sure. Anyhow.... #notcrazy.

    Oh, hell fuck no. The inmates do not run the asylum. Homer runs the asylum. That is up there with death and taxes. Under no circumstances will the inmates be allowed to run anything. They can be as crazy as they want to be, but Homer is judge, jury, and executioner. Our reality depends on this.

    We'll run. We'll escape. We'll save the cats and dodge the nets and...

    Running is not allowed. Running implies an inability to perform one's duties at a controlled pace. And escape is laughable. Where will you go?

    We'll go to a narrative world, a storyworld.

    We are in the asylum because we are creative, outside hierarchies types. We build our own hierarchies and use them as stairs as we climb over the walls of the asylum of Bad Story City.

    We fly like seagull Jonathan Livingston. We invent things just like Richard Feynman did. We conspire like Jeeves. We....

    You'll never catch as, you 22!

    There’s something oddly satisfying, almost primal, about sheltering from the rain, is there not?

    What about the satisfaction you get when you cuddle up with a cup of hot cocoa/coffee/tea/whatever after walking through the rain and sheltering under a blanket/in front of an open fire/anything that warms you up :superidea:?

    I like to do that, too, but running for the shelter of a big tree is very satisfying to me.

    I guess this might be covered by 'whatever' and 'anything that warms you up' :D.
