People Who Are Different From You And I

I just got out of a two-hour conference call that made me want to tear my hair out.  I need something to lighten my mood.  So...

Last week, as a result of playing Kingdom of Loathing, Boyfriend and I discovered this website:  Roy Orbison in Clingfilm .  That's right. It's a guy who writes stories about Roy Orbison wrapped in clingfilm. We only read

OK, weirdness alert, but I was SO SURE I'd seen the title of that fic before, so I followed it up...and it was totally posted on this bizarro fanfic site someone told me about where someone had posted Freud/Jung fic, ahahahahahaha

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE EXIST IN THIS WORLD? IDGI.

INORITE??? Actually we couldn't figure out whether the author was serious or not. Some of his sentences had such oddly-phrased pride that we thought, nah, he CAN'T be serious, this is just a joke so he and his friends can make fun of people who believe it's real. But then we'd read some more of the story and go...uh. Maybe he IS.

Freud/Jung? Oh, man. I'm not sure I could take psychiatrist slash.

OMG did you see the interviews he did?

Why Roy, why clingfilm?

I cannot tell! I have had this fantasy since my earliest years. I tried to answer this question in more detail in a previous interview but without satisfaction. To be short, the urge to bring Roy Orbison and Clingfilm together seems to me the most natural thing in the world, and I am surprised to find that other people find that surprising. But I cannot explain it. Why does the butterfly sing when it beholds the flower? Who can say?? LOL WHUT

All that was part of why I thought, this guy HAS to be making all this up. He HAS to be. But...weirder things have happened on the internet. And reading it all makes me giggle so hard, it's an immense cheerer-upper.
