Forgive me, but I am unfamiliar with what liminal space has become this time. Can anyone tell me what it is? What the cultural significance of it is? Are there usually balls of mice which try to run you down? There must be some reason it is what it is this time.

I am very certain that Liminal Space is a message. When I spoke to Sun at one point, he said that some of the answers as to why we are here are able to be found, and I believe that is through the imagery of Liminal Space.

Perhaps we all see our own reflections of what the images are. My grandfather was fond of the Who, so I see Tommy. Smashing Pumpkins is something important to you, so that is what you see.

canon fact: Tim is passionate about early british punk rock

[detectivewonder]

Yeah, but Tommy's a classic. I mean, that's protopunk, pre First Wave, foundational stuff. James Iha might be a guitar virtuoso, but there's no way he means as much to me as Townshend, Moon, & Entwhistle.

[shiroganeheir]

You would get along well with Grandfather. He went to London in the seventies just to see them in concert.

But I do see your point.

[detectivewonder]

If your Grandfather shows up here, we'll petition the Trumps to take us to a Clash concert. A UK Punk Jaunt would make all this almost worth it.

[shiroganeheir]

I think I'd have...bigger issues if Grandfather showed up.

However, that would make for a very interesting Jaunt. At least the music would hopefully be good.

[detectivewonder]

Please don't tell me you don't know the Clash.

Rock the Casbah, London Calling, Should I Stay or Should I Go?

[shiroganeheir]

Ah, yes. I do know them. Admittedly, I am more aware of specific songs than band names, but I believe they are one of the ones Grandfather likes.

I, uh, have much different natural interests.

[detectivewonder]

Yeah, you didn't really strike me as a punk rocker.

[shiroganeheir]

To be fair, Grandfather wouldn't either. Dignified old Japanese man.

But he has the world's largest mischievious streak.

The most punk person I know.... knits plush animals.

[detectivewonder]

Kanji Tatsumi.

[shiroganeheir]

Yes. He is one of my best friends at home.

Well, not this version, but my version.

... it is complicated.

[detectivewonder]

Yeah. I'm familiar with how that works.

[shiroganeheir]

My sympathies, in that case.

At any rate, I think I have lost any point I was attempting to make.
