This episode shows Mani as a little boy or girl or whatever he is. His parents have gone off together on their job cleaning up at the porno movie parlour, leaving him alone in the house. There is a knock at the door.
"Hello," says Mani.
"Oh, Mani," says an old lady's voice. "Won't you let us in?"
"But my parents told me not to let anyone in where they're not here," says Mani.
"But we have some candy for you," says the old lady.
Mani lets them in. It's the downstairs neighbors, Mesken and Maxwell. Maxwell immediately sits in an easy chair and starts talking to himself. Mesken begin talking to Mani.
"You remember what we talked about last time?"
"Yes, Can I have some candy?" says Mani.
"First you have to answer some questions," says Mesken smoothing out his ugly plaid dress. "Who is a good artist?"
"Dali," says Mani.
"Good," says Mesken. "But who is even better?"
"Disney," says Mani.
"Excellent," says Mesken giving mani a piece of candy. "And why is that?"
"Because all the characters have 3 fingers and they they never say anything I haven't heard before."
"Very good," says Mesken.
"Can I have that big chocolate banana?" asks Mani.
"Ok, after just one more thing." Mesken pulls out a Picasso picture.
Mani begins crying. "Oh take it away, it's horrible!"
"And why is that?" says Mesken dangling the big chocolate banana.
"Because he changes things around and I can't understand it!"
"That's right, Mani" says Mesken. "Ok, I'm putting that bad Mr. Picasso away now. Here's your banana."
mmmmm, says Mani.
"We have to go now," says Mesken. "But next time your parents go away we'll show you something new you will like."
"Who's that?" asks Mani with his mouth full.
"A Maxfield Parrish." Mesken slaps Maxwell across the head. "Get up, you fool! We have to go now." They both leave.

Much better! This was actually clever. Not very effective, but the true troll redoubles his efforts even though he has forgotten his original point (to restate the old saw).
Wasn't that more rewarding than all those tedious and tepid one-liners? It certainly was for me. Quality is better than quantity, after all.
You really should pick a persona and stick with it, though. Either be clever and insightful (even if biased and prejudiced) or be obtuse and clumsy. You have your reputation to consider, you know.
He has mani asking for a penis shaped candy for oral pleasure but it is coloured brown like shit which is evacuated from himself and others. Oh Henry chocolate bars look a bit like bowel movements.

Remember that subtlety is lost on much of the usenet audience, while cleverness will always get some appreciation. Heavy-handed? Yes, but quite an improvement over his usual fare. This only adds to my theory that Dil is a sockpuppet for a clever troll who is playing stupid most of the time. Still not clear if he's serious about the child-molesting, though.

The idea of very young children as sex objects is as old as the hills. During my beatnik days I knew a chap who would not indulge in sex with any girl over sixteen - needless to say he trained many of the local hookers - he said that over sixteen they developed a smell that he did not like.

The Dill's mind hasn't blown. He's just rather stupid and has a short fuse. Give him credit, he's a genius compared to Tinhorn O'connor who never had an idea in his life.
>I thought the story was quite revealing, given Dil's stated sexual >(dis)orientation. Rather like a semi-literate Lewis Carroll.
Hmm, yes, I missed the projection angle completely. Shame on me. That would explain the inspiration; this one was from the heart, maybe even a bit autobiographical.
