Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 02, 2010
Transcript:
Alice: I hear that somebody wrote a bad word in one of the tube slides. Dill: My brothers told me that every bad word in the world is written somewhere in that jungle gym. And if you complete the 300-mile circuit of all the tube slides, you'll emerge as a full-grown adult. Alice: Are your brothers behind the workings of the entire universe? Dill: Better my brothers than your brother.

A world run by El Pedro? Now that IS a scary thought! Of course, La Viola would be th epower behind the throne.

The tube slide, Richard - is it still too cold for the snow melt in the upper peaks of the slide? I really don’t want to miss it - I take a week’s vacation every year to enjoy the annual Blisshaven Academy tube slide snow melt cataract. One can’t help but be awed by nature’s power - so majestic…

Dill’s bros or Petey running the world? There is a political science dissertation in there somewhere.

That’s an urban myth, Dill. If you complete the 300-mile circuit of all the tube slides, you’ll emerge in Cleveland.

Petey running the universe would be something akin to Octavian Caesar ruling Rome in the HBO series….Somewhat terrifying, yet oddly appropriate.

Petey is the embodiment of Perfect Order - i.e. stasis, uniformity. Dill’s brothers are Pure Chaos - i.e. change, variability. (It makes sense somehow that Petey therefore be singular while the Wedekind boys be plural.)
The Universe as we know it exists because of the interplay between these two fundamental principles. Like Apollo and Dionysus, each is the necessary opposite of the other, and the Fabric of Being is composed of the warp of one and the woof of the other.

(By the way, Wyatt, as Emperor, Petey would no doubt like Augustus be a devotee of Terminus, god of Boundaries and Limits, to whose authority even Jupiter must yield.)
