A large wooden badger

Do things get stuck in your head? Stuff you could never have any use for is just hanging around in there. It's not even funny or interesting. They're like cobwebs but if you take a broom and brush them away, it somehow reinforces them. If you ignore them, maybe you will forget but then again maybe they are an integral part of your character and when they fade away, you fade with them like Captain Kirk in the Tholian Web. That part of you disappears into an alternate universe. I know this much is true.

It could be a stupid song or a phrase from a movie, or an image from the internet, but just that it attached itself to your mind like a covalent spirit drifting within your event horizon means you have assimilated it into your consciousness. If you purge it now, it may pull away things you cherish along with the expelled mundane like a lobotomy. To live is to accumulate but we still search for the Holy Grail.

I told them we already got one.
