[Wonderful Labs] THY FEARFUL WONDER

[Wonderful Labs]

Hey Captain Wonderful,

	Why do people seek symmetry, on the average?

Dear Six Of One/Eno Fox Is,

	Dear boy, I don't see how I could possibly answer your query with any
degree of accuracy, now, at this time, given this tremendous mescaline
sauna we installed last week and the lickable heroin-flavored wallpaper
that mysteriously appeared after we sent a moon pie back in time.

	Honestly, I just haven't felt like my selves lately.

	My point is that I *am* the self-same Mister Wonderful who wrote this
http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2001-January/000162.html
three years ago, and I have yet to be nominated for a Pulitzer.  Is that
fair?   230 words of symmetry there, Bub, which is more than Shakespeare
ever wrote.  He never won the Pulitzer, either.  And why not?  The prize
committee is prejudiced against beards.  Note that Karl Marx and Leif
Erikson were also snubbed.

	I'm not saying I couldn't go for a little tit for tat; I'm saying that
Miss Yakamoto prepares a little medicine for me whenever I'm tempted to
turn on the Labs' news monitors and consider the heart-sickening
disparity of the modern condition, which in turn lowers my ability to
mount an effective tat, not to mention reach acceptable levels of tit.

	Symmetry, that elusive and illusory mirror quality, appeals, as you
say, to many people.  Consider, however, Spock's beard.  That break in
the symmetry between our universe and the "Mirror, Mirror" dimension is
what kept "Star Trek" from winning a major literary award rhyming with
"Bullet Surprise."  Smooth bastards.  At least Uhura got the Grammy that
year for "I Like My Captain's Tongue Where It Is."

	
	Dig It: People like things that match because that's the only way to
win "Go Fish."  Some card tricks you just don't forget.
