The Simian Transcript is original, wild, and entertaining to the Nth degree. If you’re brave enough to risk having your perception of reality as we know it shattered, dig in. You’ll laugh. You’ll ponder the meaning of it all. Above all though, you’ll have your literary paradigms shattered ever so blissfully with each insane tale of chaos and rapture.

The Man With Two Thumbs
So this guy with two thumbs walks into a bar, and the bartender says “Hey! You can’t bring those things in here!”
Well, the first thumb says this is discrimination and it starts talking about class-action lawsuits and picketing and late-night visits from the middle finger and pretty soon it gets cited for disorderly conduct and hauled off to jail.
Meanwhile, the second thumb waits behind the bar in an alley with a couple of cans of gasoline and a book of matches from The Nether Digit, a nightclub on the other side of town, not just a nightclub, but a toe club, a place where you can have any toes you want all night long, two at once, even, if you’re surefooted enough, in those padded booths with the tasteful crimson and burgundy curtains. And while the thumb is waiting for the last patrons to leave the bar, shrouded menacingly in a grease-stained overcoat, a big shaggy dog trots up and eats it.
