A Conversation for The Temple of Confusionism
I actually remember the day I decided that I was going to learn to raise one eyebrow at a time so I could look like Leonard Nemoy. Took most of an hour to locate the proper muscle and now I can't stop doing it but nobody can see it because of my glasses.

If it's a normal puppy, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask it to leave.

It's not here, yet.
But any puppy that comes when a smiley whistles cannot be completely normal...
You've heard of Padlock's Dog?

Nope. Enlighten me, o wise one! 
Was he friends with Schrodinger's (I'm really not sure how to spell that) cat?

There should be two little dots over the o and I think there may be another e in there somewhere, but I'm not sure.

Aye before eey, except after sea, and you can't make an umlaut without breaking yeggs...
Padlock's Dog is a version of the Bete Noire, the black beast, the 'Hound of the Baskervilles'...of depression. In fact Winny the Churchill described his recurring depression as the 'Black Dog'.
Padlock's Dog is the depressive feeling that you will forget to lock something, or that you cannot find the key when you need it, or you will forget the combination code required to open it when it has only been a few hours since you used it, rather like a computer password that you write down and hide, but you need more than one if you are using more than one service, so you have to hide more than one and you have to remember what they are for, and you have to be sufficiently clever to think of code words that would occur to you but not be too easy for someone who knows you to find out...
Padlock's Dog is the breath down your neck accompanying the panic attacks from knowing you forgot something but your memory was not merciful enough to allow you to forget that you forgot...

If you sort of get it right will they let half of you in?

And if so, which half?

The half that you can almost but not quite see if you spin round quickly in front of a full-length mirror after not bathing for a co uple of days in the midst of a long hot summer.

But then sweat just flies off you and you can't see anything in the mirror due to sweat

A shadow's always dry. It's light, or rather abscence of light. Abscence of enough light that it looks darker than the surroundings.

Could the absence of light get wet?

Ah...yet...but....since the presence of humidity in the atmosphere can alter the transmission and perception of light, the flung droplets of perspirative miasma could in fact produce a wet shadow with rainbow-like qualities...Movies have been shown using a waterfall of the proper density for a screen...and have you ever seen your shadow fall across a puddle?

I tried, but it insisted that it must stay in the puddle to stop the bulldozer.
