	::It struck me that a simple greeting would just not do. His introduction was reminiscent of humorous ways of speech. I wanted to channel enough insanity to make it interesting but not so much as to obscure the message (In some ways there is more honesty, absurdity is excused by the Wonderlandian theme).

The problem is that I can't reference it too heavily without the reader reading it first, so I needed some bit of pop culture insanity to reference, the obvious answer presented it's own problem, Alice has been referenced to death. But Alice can't be used in the closing as it is too main stream and thus sane, so Kelly Link provides. Esthetic insanity needs metaphorical curlicues to work, hence the "''discarded'' plastic cups" and the logic that 'a new episode of a tv show can only be watched when asleep' but this last part suggests a more logical explanation, that the show is nothing but a dream. The reference to reality and the readers victory over absurdity by thinking up the alternate explanation signal an end to the absurdity and the message. -- '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka\|Strife]]''' <sup><small>([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka\|talk]]\|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka\|contribs]])</small></sup> 19:20, 10 July 2011 (PDT)		::It struck me that a simple greeting would just not do.
