" it's good. wonder if you have to work it a while like taffy before it really stretches out there.

If you can stretch it what would you want it to wrap around? "

" i'm presently imagining a large piece of dough being thrown up in the air in way of getting a very large pizza prepared... that thought seems to stretch my imagination right now... and i would also like to add a chewy element to this... because the idea of chewiness stretches my imagination further even... i'm not yet sure if i want to wrap the large piece of dough around something... thx for further stretching my imagination...

" btw, I used to throw dough at my old job. You have to curl your fingers inward toward your hand. Otherwise your fingerips go through the dough.

Oh while you're stretching your brain with that- imagine it being done by a guy throwing (that what you call it) four things of dough at once. Here's the vid:

" i think i may also be trying to get myself out of some sort of confusion i may be finding myself in... just attempting to keep myself mentally active a little bit and to use spicy imagination to keep myself a little bit stimulated as well... "

" ok. so my brain is in this little plastic egg in a package of shrink wrap. Ya take the egg out and open it up and TADA there's my little flesh colored brain! you roll it into a ball and guess what? it actually bounces!!!! now take my brain and start stretching it out. stretch it evenly into a softly rounded rectangle.
now, go get the Sunday funny paper and press my flat rectangular brain against the comic strip!
woo hoo! My cleaver brain has picked up the comic!
now you roll my brain back into a ball and put it back into the egg.
You can take my brain out and abuse it again any old time you want! "

" Right. I've had my second cup of coffee. I like the idea of stretching your mind like a piece of dough. We do this to dough to make it more elastic and release the gluten in it to make it
pleasanter to eat.
With our minds, we can stretch them with ideas, expose them to culture and generally work on them to achieve what would be our ideal consistency. Any good baker and any good teacher will tell you this envolves practice, determination, hard work and dedication. "
