In Response To: Tour of Duty: Eat the Path (VikingBoyBilly)

:I don't know what masticulaltions means, and wiktionary doesn't have an answer. But I think we :can :interpret from their behavior that these guys in sunglasses are not human.

I believe "masticulaltions" to be a portmanteau of the word masticate which means to chew, in this case the girlfriend's gum, and the word articulation. Articulation has multiple meanings, I believe the most relevant refers to a type of moving joint in robotics.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulated_robot

Thus implying that the Girlfriend is at least in this dream sequence to be perceived to be at least part mechanical or cyborg.

Eat The Path, Terminal 4:1, Page 4:

"The dialog in the movies seems unimportant and I decide that its time to leave. I tell her so, but she doesn't seem to hear me. Her mouth is chomping wildly on some gum, and between masticulations, she begins to to tell me again about durability. I lean back and slide my hand into my pocket, feeling for the knife."
