"Their assuredness comes from a mix-up in brain signals accompanying their marijuana high which grants latent Oedipal caregiver status to any female that brings them food." So astute, Clancy. You nailed it. Each tiny detail you gave - and there were many, had a purpose. You set the scene very carefully and sat me down in the booth next to them ( euw ). The setting and action were so clear, one knows that the author was writing from personal experience. Hah!

I appreciate your choice of word mimesis.

Plenty of options always assured

But to elect a good king

To rule in the West Wing

Consumer choices are terribly poor
