I have come to the conclusion that most, if not all 'poster' in the Lounge
are all figments of my imagination, and in reality, do not actually exist.

I can sleep easier safe in the knowledge that there aren't a bunch of loons like you all out in the real world.







That's my delusion, and I'm stickin' to it.

1. There are far more satisfying delusions.
But that one's pretty good.

3. So sayeth a phantom from the depths of Id.
Agreeing with me to get catch me off guard won't work; I'm wise to that strategy.

2. You believe that you're capable of imagining this place,
and that makes you feel better? :shrug:

4. Knowing that you don't actually exist is comforting.
If the denizens of the Lounge had an actual physical presence in the real world, I shudder to think of the mayhem they might attempt on, say, unsuspecting diners at a local faux-Italian eating establishment.

6. SO knowing that we are all really you doesn't scare you more?
BTW, I'm glad I found out.

7. I accept that parts of me aren't rational.
But, I take the good along with the bad.

12. Oh, you aren't imaginary at all.
You have an existence, just not in this physical dimension.

More like a cookie made up of bad dreams, or evil thoughts.




Fig Newtons make me poop.

20. I have already stated as such.
Since you are only a wraith of my own invention, what you have placed in evidence is redundant.

13. I see them, too, if only in a tangential way.
But under heavy sedation, they all disappear, if only for a short period of time.


You better hope I don't have any surgery soon, incorporeal voice.

11. We took a vote. The Lounge is moving into your bedroom closet.
We may be figments of your imagination, but we can still party all night like an escaped pack of circus animals. They won't help, of course, but please feel free to go buy earplugs. Good luck!

14. I am afraid my closet is completely full of aliens at this moment
that have shown absolutely no inclination to return to their planet of origin.

The monsters under my bed to me to shove off when I asked them if they had room for a couple of hundred imaginary denizens from the Lounge.




I just think you are looking for a free place to crash, along with all your freeloading partners in unreality.

Nice try, though, random thought process gone awry.

24. As if a could take a 'picture' of a bad thought, or a fleeting notion.
This is exactly the thing I am trying to explain to those that their imperfect understanding of 'reality' is that it is but one facet of the totality of their existence.




Besides, the cats always want to sleep in my lap when I'm online, and those little claws are freakin' sharp.

16. Your instincts are correct. You do not want there to be a real me.

17. I am almost sorry to have to say this, as most people would call me a fantasist,
but, you, my dear Redstone, are definitely not a creation of my subconscious mind.

Your corporeal presence on this planet is a fact as apparent as the existence of gravity.

21. How do you know I didn't use telepathy to make you believe this?
I could have. You'd think of that, assuming you're imagining all this.

22. Because I don't believe in 'telepathy'.
That's some real 'woo-woo' stuff right there.

However, you better hope I keep believing in you, or you would instantly cease to be, oh shade of electronic origin.
