Pumpkintwisters > Kansas City Life (con.)
I’m just going to insert here that I know more about Centerville now than then. I know at least
1) Centerville is Ballykissangel (town)
2) Centerville is Piedmont (town) from the movie Andromeda Strain
Centerville is probably a lot of things. Its, er, central. It’s kind of a sink hole, and even seems to form a type of wormhole with the obviously paired “Dental Hygiene Dilemma” from the same 200 Motels movie.
Centerville is a kind of false middle or 2nd movie in the, if so, equally false synch KC Life. This makes the paired Dental Hygiene cartoon the 1st second movie used in a baker b. synch, but ironically the same movie as the false second movie. This is from 2004’s Pumpkintwisters. The dubbed audio comes from one source and involves one cue in this new, true center: The Kinks’ Preservation Part 2.
An example of the possible wormhole relationship between Centerville and Dental Hygiene Dilemma from 200 Motels is here. This is another Second Life based model, specifically from a virtual mainland continent called Corsica (or Corsica Prime) which contains precisely 2 defined sinkholes, or what on this graph are called Egg Hole and, in the other half of a possible chicken and egg paradoxical relationship, another larger sinkhole lying directly south called Chasm Deep.
There is an elongated (read: egg-like?) Egg Hill in Centre County Pennsylvania and indeed a direct link can be made between virtual hole and real hill here, consciously constructed this time ’round. Continuing along, the Second Life virtual continent of Corsica and its central Egg Hole sink can be seen to resonate directly with our grand state of Pennsylvania here in the US of A. Was the associate created on purpose by the terraformers of Second Life? No, I don’t think so, and obviously Pennsylvania is not modelled after Corsica, although there is a town called Corsica in Pennsylvania with other attached oddities.
I’ll not go into detail why I strongly feel Corsica, although not consciously designed as such, still acts as a Pennsylvania “stand in” on the Second Life game grid. Maybe in another place and time. I will go on here to segue into another huge mtn. of information and state that besides Pennsylvania or in addition to it, Corsica represents my most ambitious sync project creation I’ll call Dr. Blood, a behemoth of sorts. It can also take the form of an elephant. If so, Egg Hole sink may represent the (weakened) eye and Chasm Deep the (strengthened) ear, complete with gray elephant-like ear flap. Again I’ll just leave it out there as that, adding these pictures beginning with a quote by science fiction analyst Alexei Panshin from Elephant, Pennsylvania.
SIMS:
An = Android
Hc = Highcastle
V = Valis
U = Ubik
ZC = Zap Cannon (probably PKD’s Zap Gun)
S = Solar
Ar = Archers
Two additional sims I’ve decided to include on this list now could kind of act in tandem with each other: Archers and Android. The Transmigration of Timothy Archer is Philip Dick’s last published book, often included as the third book of the VALIS trilogy (although Dick was writing the actual third novel at the time of his death). Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) is another famous Dick work, the basis of the 1982 movie Blade Runner released just after his death. Both Archers and Android are found on Corsica Prime, and although Archers is a number of sims northeast of Solar, Android, in looking at it again, is caddycorner to Highcastle, and also directly below Deep Chasm containing the largest Corsica sink. I think, then, that Android and Highcastle must refer to the respective PKD works. Archers I’m still unsure about.
Ben eats eggs and reads Dick’s Valis in the LOST episode “Eggtown”.

But what about KC Life and Pumpkintwisters? I hear you the reader asking now. Again, Egg Hill (from Hole) sink and Chasm Deep sink *are* K.C. Life and Pumpkintwisters, or at least their central, shared movie of 200 Motels. I remember now that I wrote about Kansas City Life before in another time and place. Let’s just revisit it next.
