M.A. Turner: there’s not really a lot of humorous human activity i don’t understand, it’s the way i am wired, even the most arbitrary of things makes me smile, but this (especially the original) i just don’t understand. it’s so surreal. was this some sort of parade? is the techno track being played on a loud speaker, did these people just show up and start dancing and the audio was dubbed later? is this a joke and preplanned?
M.A. Turner: it makes my head hurt
Me: In my world, it is a techno parade, spontanteously appearing on a city street
Me: and there is a large black man with the world’s biggest boombox strapped to his shoulders in front of the cameraman
M.A. Turner: so, ok, i guess i could see that. sort of like, the techno-viking appears from the future like the terminator, and then people just start raving
M.A. Turner: he’s not going all jesus, wanting to save the world, he’s not going all terminator wanting to save man, he’s going all german and wanting to save rave
Massively annoying girl in front of me: OH. MY. GOD. This is like what, like, heaven is like. I’m not [unintelligible gibberish] kidding you. It’s like… ephemeral.
Massively’s slightly disinterested friend: Ethereal. You mean “it’s like… ethereal.”
Fanboy Stage Left: I love your band. [pause] All of them.
Fratboy Stage Right: I love your body. [pause] All of it.
