I join the many listeners who have expressed relief that their brains weren't malfunctioning the day they listened to this tale. Celebrity boxing = ok. Weird misbegotten tech hidin inthe woods = best aspects of Terry Brooks, but also ok. Whatever else was going on = WTF?
I love some surrealism but, I couldn't get in the "just enjoy the trip" groove that this story apparently required. Glad I'm not alone.
And Scattercat, as usual, your comment scored 1 Big Guffaw. Well done, your post was more enjoyable than the story itself.
