When Furniture Attacks
My friend Jeff once tried to start a religion around the vending machines in our university common room. They accept our offerings and give us what we need to live. They glow with an internal light. If you displease the vending machines, they will refuse your offering, or fall over and crush the life out of you.
This religion never really got off the ground, but I think part of the problem is the fact that we didn’t live in Japan. They have some fantastic vending machines over there- you can get cold drinks, hot drinks, snacks, alcohol, ramen noodles, french fries, Gundam memorabilia, pornography… Every time I go to Japan I take pictures of the vending machines, and Eunsuk accuses me of being weird.
I’m not weird. I’m merely devout.
