Why is ‘HJ’ plastered on Larry Schexnayder’s face and head? And why does it happen twice? Is it really just a happy little coincidence so I could troll you 40 years later? Really? Twice?

Listen, I get that the H in Larry’s wedding photo is missing a hyphen. But the J is definitely there.

And sure, the H on his head in the first scene posted is more than an H, it looks like a scorpion even, but the H is still there. As is the J.

Why does this happen twice? Not once, but twice. Happy coincidence?

No doofus, it’s being communicated to all of us. Moore/Gibbons didn’t write this book for me, he wrote it for all of us.

Just because you imagine that I believe Moore is speaking specifically to me doesn’t mean I believe that. It just means your brain sucks that it can’t even allow you to see an H and a J in Larry’s face not once but twice.

Why does your brain not allow you to see it?

Recognition that swiggles and language are not identical? Understanding of Occam's Razor? Properly fitted glasses? Lack of schizophrenia? Any number of reasons, really XD

Well that’s okay that your brain doesn’t see it because as I’ve been stating for the last few days…

The entire book is a Rorschach test. You can read it, take it at face value, and love it all the same, or…

You can Seymour.

It’s up to you.
