Psychoceramics. [Quoi?]

Also a blog.

  • What awkward web design.
  • See also Josiah Carberry, a non-existent Professor of Psychoceramics at Brown University. A snack bar is named after him.
  • I've been a collector of psychoceramics myself. Though I usually refer to them as "friends" instead of "kooks." My favorite example: I'll call her Catherine. Over the years, the following has happened to her: Grandma died six times, aunt died for times, mother went crazy and held a gun to Catherine's head at 3 in the morning, daddy had prostate cancer and had his prostate removed twice, hunted by the Yakuza for two weeks in June every year so the entire family has to disappear (me, I call this a vacation, but what do I know), has tried to use a supposed past life memory as a form of seduction, was regularly under psychic attack, had many psychic visions that our entire circle of friends and/or the world was in danger and only we could prevent the disaster, has claimed to be raped by about half the male population of the Silicon Valley and claims she has voluntarily slept with the other half, is approaching 40 and still sucks her thumb, and can fake a very convincing faint at the drop of a hat. These are just the highlights. There is so much more. Of course, I'm a kook myself. How many other people out there have gone to Denny's for a late dinner while painted blue with gold stars? ;)
  • Bah! "Psychoceramics". You kids and your high-falutin' language. Back in my day we useta call them unitards.
  • I tried to read this, but I had to give up. The person who wrote it is very obviously a schizophrenic, and, um, laughing (or whatever) at the disease speaking is not something I'm really comfortable with. Sorry to go all prig on you and all.
  • Akchumally I kind of had second thoughts about posting it after I'd read a little further in the site. Sorry all.
