[UA] Invisible Rules

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

Ah ha!  I am going to take this the wrong way becasue,
well, all MY friends are semi-unemployable whack-jobs
who dabble in Things Man Was Not Meant to Know and
dream that they have psychic powers.  Not a single one
of them has ever picked a cheap date up at a bar
(except maybe to do something they can't legally talk
about) and, among us, we've taken every drug known to
man (except adrinochrome. chron. crone. hag.)

Of those few people I know who are not in jail, the
rest are science fiction authors and male prostitutes
( I do not write science fiction.)  Some of us live
with our parents, although I live in an ant-infested
two-room appartment with my ex-lesbian wife and,
sometimes, I swear, little voices in the walls.

No one I know personally has ever gotten out of high
school without either being in a mental institution
(at least as a day patient) or in jail.  Last year I
earned below poverty level and moved out of a shared
house with a mack-daddy chef, a christian archivist
dating some tall, thin chick who claimed she was a
vampire (all thankingsgiving long) and an annoying
transvestite with his/her charming, hard-working
houseboy.

My friends often find that 220 points is way too many
to accurately reflect ourselves and our lifestyles.
