The bongo drums of his thought carrom across the cosmos, revenanting across the dawn with nodules of coltan from beyond. A clear channel for reading the universe: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." "Thank you for making this day necessary." "It's déjà vu all over again." "You can observe a lot by watching." “Ninety percent of the game is half mental.” “Pair up in threes.” The smell of a quantum of disconnect, the taste of the magenta of non-sequitur, the  sight of logic colliding with chaos, the touch of an insightful short-circuit, the music of senseless syntax that says it all. Coinciluckily, the saving grace: "I really didn't say everything I said." "Always go to other people's funerals; otherwise they won't go to yours." Who else would say, “You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.” Que sera, sera - "It ain't over till it's over."

Channeling Yogi
Did I say what they said I said Some I said, not all If I said the things I'd said I'd have no time to play ball I said some things I think I said Some things came right from me Some things I said, I wished I said But those things, let them be I said some things I said I saw Some say I didn't say Some things I saw, I didn't see I just looked the other way Some things I said I didn't say I know, because it's true I said some things I said I saw The choice is up to you There's things I said, that people like Those things, I know I spoke The other things I didn't say Were just written as a joke If I said the things I said And you like them, say them too But the things they said, I didn't say Some are old, but most are new I know I didn't say as much As people said I said There's more from me, I didn't say At least that's what I've read So, sue me if I say I say Some things I said, but heard I know it wasn't me that said I don't know all those words So, if I said the things I said Instead of going out to play I ask you now, to tell me please Exactly, What'd I say
