In which my mouth runs away with me again

(It's dusk in Mountain View. [info]maradydd and [info]enochsmiles, having just finished up dinner, are strolling along Castro. A cheerful SCIENTOLOGIST loiters outside the local Dianetics Centre. As [info]maradydd and [info]enochsmiles pass by, the SCIENTOLOGIST brandishes a leaflet.)

SCIENTOLOGIST: Evening! Can I interest either of you in a free stress test?
[info]maradydd: That's okay, I've got enough stress in my life as it is.

In retrospect, that answer made absolutely no sense in an everyday context, but entirely too much sense given the context in which it actually occurred.

hehe

I was clearly not adequately stress tested prior to release - I appear to have a memory leak. ( Which manifested this morning in forgetting what I'd gone to the breakroom for when I went to make myself tea. ;-P )

You were a billion times more polite than I can handle being to those people.

I usually run away before they can hand me a leaflet or screetch THERE'S NOTHING FREE ABOUT IT!

I don't know. I probably would have yelled something like "Free Zenu" and ran away.

My stock response has become, "Get thee behind me, Thetan!"

Ha! That's perfect. Phonology puns win!

[info]enochsmiles wanted to say something like "But I like my body thetans!", but I jumped in too quickly.

Ahh, I miss the Castro Street Scientologists.

What's completely creepy is that shortly after being ex-communicated from Scientology, my parents moved to Mountain View (from Hollywood, of course) to just blocks away from Castro street.

I'm *so* glad they waited to open that center long after we all moved away from that neighbhorhood.

*shudder*
