for one of the most hilariously purple passages I've ever read!

That's just... gleefully awful.

[Starbeam]

Brain go smush.

FWIW, the author, Ron Miller, is described on Amazon as "unfairly talented" by none other than Sir Arthur C. Clarke.

This totally needs a NSFW tag. Because, seriously, how do you explain laughing until you cry when you should be working? 

[Delarith]

Oh my, that is the very same book I picked up once in the bookstore and put back after reading a few paragraphs.  I'm glad I wasn't those particular pages but the names are vaguely familiar.  As is the sentiment.

[Aine]

You broke my brain.  Why you break my brain? 

[JRBobC]

Owww!.  Just damn, and OWWWW!.  What the heck.  If you want bad porn go rent it, sheesh.  That stuff will give you a disease just reading it.  Ack.

[Shecky]

Yeah. An asocial disease.

I work at a cologne and perfume factory, so I have to ask:  How exactly does one have the "fragrance of a Gibbous moon"?

Maybe she smells like green cheese? Not exactly a turn on if you ask me.

[PapaBear]

Oh man, you know what that reminded me of? The Eye of Argon.

Now excuse me while I go bleach my brain.

Maybe the folks who are making those "Eau de Star Trek" fragrances could do something with that.

Why do I have visions of tuna swimming by....

Perhaps synesthesia? "A neurological condition in which the brain interprets one set of sensory input in terms of a different one; i.e., 'smelling' shapes, 'tasting' sounds, 'seeing' scents, etc."

It would certainly explain the... florid... prose of the rest of the exerpt. However, given that many cases of the phenomenon are almost as unique as handwriting, we still don't know what a "Gibbous moon" would smell like. Though a highly unpleasant image involving a man named Gibb is fighting its way into my conscious thoughts, despite my fervent resistance...
