The World According To Ralph: !Xe, the Spatially Displaced Bushman

Hello, Humanity
Maybe it’s the fact my reality is based on Writer’s imagination, but all the crazies seem to come to use. First was Naous, the Roswell Alien and avatar of Shiva, and Djidjo, a genetically altered roma (gypsy). Then Charlie Chaplin, who seems relatively harmless and now we got something even stranger.
See, While Writer was walking back to school, he saw this Bushman walking about. Now Bushmen are these people from South Africa who have stayed at a really primitive level for a long time, so long that they are still in the twig age for the most part. I’ll set up a link here to a web site about bushmen. Anyway, we find this half-naked Bushman walking around who’s never seen white people and can’t speak English. Naous, for some reason, can speak Bushmen so we were able to understand him. Turns out he has no idea how he got here and was experiencing a large amount of culture shock. Says his name is !Xe. He’s currently living with Naous and Djidjo, who are getting a long with him just fine.
I find !Xe a nice guy, even if his name is a little hard to purnounce. He seems like a nice enough guy and is pretty bright. Naous is trying to teach him English, so he can communicate with us. He’s currently picked-up North American clothing by Naous’ standard. It’s hilarious. He’s wearing one of Naous’ old Led Zeppelin T-shirts.
Anyway, This is Ralph, signing off.
