C: I wish to complain about this Monk what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
O: Oh yes, the, uh, the Mongolian Mumā¦Whatās,uhā¦Whatās wrong with it?
C: Iāll tell you whatās wrong with it, my lad. 'Eās dead, thatās whatās wrong with it!
O: No, no, 'eās uh,ā¦heās resting.
C: Look, matey, I know a dead monk when I see one, and Iām looking at one right now.
O: No no heās not dead, heās, heās restinā! Remarkable monk, the Mongolian Mum, idnāit, ay? Beautiful plumage!
C: The plumage donāt enter into it. Itās stone dead.
O: Nononono, no, no! 'Eās resting!
C: All right then, if heās restinā, Iāll wake him up! (shouting at the cage) 'Ello, Mister Meditator! Iāve got a lovely fresh mandalla for you if you showā¦(owner hits the cage)
I just dropped in for the Dead Parrot referencesā¦
I amā¦vastly skepticalā¦of this ātrance-not-deathā theory; but, it might be worth inquiring as to whether Team Medicine might take a look. There are all kinds of invaluable medical advances that could be derived from a reliable mechanism for inducing ultra-low-metabolism states in humans(surgery with less bleeding out, stabilization of accident victims during transport, potential replacement for heart/lung machine during serious surgical interventions, etc. never mind what Team Space Travel wants for long haul voyages).

He might not be dead, but he aināt alive, thatās for sure.
I think this guy was in a Sandman Slim novel.
Iām going to use that line on my boss the next time he catches me napping at my deskā¦
Oh, I forgot, Iām self employed.
Heās getting better.
If true, you really have to admire his commitment.
They found a whole monastery of these guys in Jodorowskyās The White Lama.
Given that the copyright generally expires at 70 (or, generally, n) years after authorās death, I can envision publishing houses with vaults full of shelves with meditating authors.
Meh, I saw him blink.
Maybe this is the origin of the rumours about Walt Disneyās cryogenic suspension?
I just dropped in to see what condition meditation was in
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what condition meditation was in.
āYouāre not dead until youāre warm and deadā as legal theoryā¦
Maybe youāre not self employed. Maybe youāre just trancing.
Just stick him in a crate with some poison rigged to a radiation source - then you can claim that no one will ever know for sure.
Heās pining for the steppesā¦
So, is this what a K Hole is like?
