I was on Fredericton campus, just thinking about poetic theory as I always do when in a natural state, and this guy said, "Hey, eat this." And I always do when a stranger tells me to. So I ate it and I ate it and then I said, "What is this shiznit?" And he said, "It's dulse, my mellow ace." And I just laid back and said "Word." It was good. It's reddish-brown, and they take it straight off the rocks on the coast. It's seaweed, and it just sits there, waiting to be picked up and eaten. So we eat it! Me and this guy. When I got home I took the last of my girlfriend's emergency money from its "secret" hiding spot, and went out and spent all five dollars of it on dulse. I gobbled it up as quickly as I could, all two salty bags of it. I couldn't get enough. When it was done, I licked the inside of the bags. I blacked out and a few hours later I woke up in bed. My girlfriend told me I'd ODed (over-dulsed). I just smiled and laughed. After I recovered, I started writing this article. When I am done, I plan to go out and rob the local grocery store of all its dulse. The store is closed (it is 2:30am), so I'll just need to bring a big sea rock to break the window with.
