A: I'm a cut doctor, donated by double sacrifice. I get two days for every one. That's known as double sacrifice; in other words, standard cut donator.... Q: Well, what do you do here? A: I do what is known as the double criminal treatment. Something that he badly wanted, he gets that, and seven days' criminal protection. That's all he gets, and the rest I do for my friend. Q: Who is the other person that gets all this? A: That's the way the asylum cut is donated. Q: But who is the other person? A: He's a criminal. He gets so much. He gets twenty years' criminal treatment, would make forty years; and he gets seven days criminal protection and that makes fourteen days. That's all he gets. Q: And what are you? A: What is known as cut donator Christ. None of them couldn't be able to have anything; so it has to be true works or prove true to have anything, too.... A double sacrifice is what is known as where murder turns, turns the friend into a cut donator and that's what makes a daughter-son. {=========================================================================} Major Symptoms of Schizophrenia --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symptom Examples --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strange thought patterns - Weird speech - Unusual associations - Illogical connections Fantasy not distinguished - Hallucinations -- visual, auditory from reality - Delusions of grandeur, persecution - Irrational beliefs -- martians, strange religions Inappropriate affect - Laughs or cries suddenly without reason - Laughs at sad story - Shows little emotion; blank expression Bizarre behaviour - Strange gestures - Public sexual acts -- masturbation, nudity - Jumps around, dances {=========================================================================} "PSYCHOLOGICAL SOUP" (Sascha S Serebrum) gray clouds, dead landscape machine mobile carriage carry me to and through fear of what's to come and what's been done (gone bye) ac(he-)rid acidic ache(-rid) (passenger) driv(en)ing towards destined destination outside window watching image move(ming) doctor specializing in dementia demention diagnosement(ation) "this is the place" office complex conglomeration cement glass plastic(z) steel (mechanic) door-way ("hey!"-)bell (tone) announces (ding-dong) form(alitie)s filled (and filed) main event beings motion (skull roll) "I'm doctor X, but I hope you'll feel comfortable calling me Jonathan" "uh.. hi Jonathan" i am psychologically liquified (mental break[en-]down), and ran through a gener(al)icly un-unique strainment(al) system sifting sorting determining (diagnosing) by basic question collection means "palpating heart" "emotional abuse" "yeah yeah yeah" strainment seperation creation solidifies into mi(e-)nute(ure) (psy)c(h-)ubes (most turning out quite ['perfect square'] cube-ly well [with exceptions] ) "well, I can clean you up somewhat..... that's for sure..... and tell you what you're made of..... but the stains and scars aren't removable..... it it would be like trying to separate YO from U... and I certainly can't do that..."
