My hair goop is reacting badly to Bangalore’s climate. The heat and the dust do not agree with the goop and now my hair has the consistency of barbed wire. Barbed wire having a bad day. Barbed wire having a succession of bad days. (It started with someone stealing the Barbed Wire’s mail, and ended with the Barbed Wire’s spouse running away with the toaster and most of the couple’s liquid assets.
(Bear with me. I’m at a creative nadir over here. I originally was going to write about nudist colonies. I’ve this mental image of a nude colonist jumping off of a ship claiming this land for the Queen and the freedom to feel the wind against one’s um…Mahjong Areas. (Thankfully, that mental image is pixilated.)(Mahjong could be the name of a porno flick. Really. Mah-Jong. The mind boggles.)(Shouldn’t pixilated mean covered by pixies?)(That mental image is a little bit freaky now.) (I’ve lost track of all the brackets.)(Brackets for the sake of brackets.))
It is a combination of barbed wire and concrete. Concrete wire with a bad temper.
No. I am not obsessed with my hair.
Well…maybe just a little bit.
I’d like to write more, but there’s that whole (presumptuously termed) creative nadir over there. So I will not.
That there was the perfect excuse. I’d like to do something. But I can’t, so I won’t. Somebody should be taking notes down recording these words for posterity. For generations of slackers to learn from and emulate.
And that is the first time that I have ever used the word emulate. It is a good word. One that should be used more often. Emu-late: A perpetually tardy flightless bird.
I apologize.
I’ll stop typing right now.

Ah, my problems are more fundamental; no wire.
Thought I would tell you that I counted and checked and double checked, and all your brackets were perfectly matched - every open one closed, every closed one was opened (before closing it i.e.).
Good job.
(My brackets in this comment have also all been correctly matched, but since I had much fewer brackets than you, thats much easier)
(Also, did you know that your word verification system gives words like umiomwnwrm to spell out - its just way too complicated !!)
(also, that I failed that word verification test and now have to type out xhctcdomwr
oops.
last bracket was incorrectly matched :(
I can now see what a tough life you have, matching so many of them for each post
a) My sympathies.
b) My sympathies
c) My sympathies
I have outdone myself with my comment response recycling. Those responses were a joy to behold, and are eco-friendly.
Brackets can be tricky things. I'd advice you to report any errant ones to the cops.
Creative Nadir - Nadir sounds like a name to me....I think we all should let our thoughts flow without restrain like thus...
Btw I think Barbed Wire needs to meet Friendly Neighbourhood Barber if things get out of control. I heard FNB is a good shrink amongst other services he provides...
I do not need a shrink!
Really.
The voices have stopped...Mostly
And the mauve elephants have left.
