The Side Effects of Endorphins

Well, they turned on the random stupid question generator.

Uncle Rico: Kip, I reckon… you know a lot about… cyberspace? You ever come across anything… like time travel?

Kip: Easy, I’ve already looked into it for myself.

Uncle Rico: Right on… right on.

Now that Uncle Rico has lent me the time machine, and I have the ability to relive a year in my life, I would more than likely decline.

For example, imagine you’re passing the bowling alley in your old neighborhood on your way to visit a an old girl friend. Although you’ve never been to this alley before, you are struck with a feeling that you have. The underlying cause for this experience of déjà vu could be that the layout of the scene, including the placement of the hot dog rollers and the particular objects within the space, have the same layout as a different scene that you did experience in the past.

But people can no longer smoke in bowling alleys but still you have a feeling like you’ve been here before. You have your entire adult life making fun of bowling however, the bowling alley brings back pleasant memories, and you realize you really like bowling.

And all you can do is emerge from this haze and take up bowling as your newfound hobby. You ignore your wife, your fitness and you eat hotdogs off the roller like there’s no tomorrow.. which in a sense is true because you’re reliving one year of your life., and changing what you do in the future.

And you take up smoking and it’s a hard habit to quit.
