Do you ever fear the life you're living is a hallucination and that you're actually locked away

[NightWatcher]

in a madhouse...and that when you thought earlier today that you drove to the market for groceries, you actually sat in a chair muttering to yourself in some facility?











Also, do you prefer waffles or pancakes? I can take either, but I like waffles because they have little syrup traps on them.

Mmm, I really want some waffles.

But on the flip side, pancakes are little more than syrup sponges.

I could stand pancakes for breakfast.

1. I go to the market for groceries and hallucinate that I'm actually locked away in a madhouse.

6. If you're trapped in the screaming baby line,

is it an hallucination or an actual madhouse?

[So Far From Heaven]

16. Depends on whether or not it's Walmart.

8. Thanks for that link!

...I used, believe it or not, to have a complete set of Unknown inherited from my Dad...but being pulp mags, they inevitably went the way of pulps and disintegrated. I didn't know there was an archive online...

10. You're very welcome!

Enjoy the site!

7. If it's a hallucination, I need better drugs

And waffles over pancakes...unless it is der Wafflebakkers pancakes. They rock!
All other pancakes, even homemade, don't taste as good as they smell.

9. Fear? No.

I try not to fear what I can't control.

"Few people can say of themselves that they are free of the belief
that this world which they see around them is in reality the work
of their own imagination. Are we pleased with it, proud of it, then?"

11. Did you forget to take your medicine today?

I don't see you on the chart.

I know this is hard, but you're not using the internet. There are no computers that patients can access.

Go back to your room, please. I'll get the nurse.

[NightWatcher]

13. Mmm, Juicy Fruit

[MosheFeingold]

15. Good boy

You can go to the break room now.

[cabineer]

12. Yeah

I'm pretty sure.
I keep expecting a voice I recognize to intrude and bring my hard-fought reality tumbling down.
Time to twist one up...

14. As long as I'm being spoon-fed with mealy gruel, ...

... I can imagine it's either pancakes or waffles, with melted butter and maple syrup, oh yeah.
