WHAT THE?!?! How the hell did I end up here?! And who the hell would want clones of Blayne? We can barely handle the original (or are we even dealing with the original....).

It's also the name of the insane train in Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
Hence (I think) the Choo Choo thing. Also, kwsni's post. Edit: I thought "Blaine's a pain" was a direct quote, but I could be mistaken.

No, it is. "Blaine is a pain" is a bit of a running theme in that sequence. And that is true-spoken, sai.

kwsni, if you mean "Blaine's a pain" (the contraction), you're probably right. It was definitely separated for his Understanding of Truth paper that he turned in to the teacher, but the comment kept coming up over and over again throughout the book, and it wasn't just from Jake, either. By the end, I think the entire ka-tet said it at least once, even Oy (in his own way, of course).
Yeah, I'm so due for a re-read of that entire series....

My Understanding Of Truth By John M. Chambers*
"I will show you fear in a handful of dust." - T.S. "BUTCH" ELIOT
"My first thought was, he lied in every word." - ROBERT "SUNDANCE" BROWNING
The gunslinger is the truth. Roland is the truth. The Prisoner is the truth. The Lady of Shadows is the truth. The Prisoner and the Lady are married. That is the truth. The Waystation is the truth. The Speaking Demon is the truth. We went under the mountains and that is the truth. There were monsters under the mountain. That is the truth. One of them had an Amoco gas pump between his legs and was pretending it was his penis. That is the truth. Roland let me die. That is the truth. I still love him. That is the truth.
When is a door not a door? When it's a jar, and that is the truth. Blaine is the truth. Blaine is the truth. What has four wheels and flies? A garbage truck, and that is the truth. Blaine is the truth. You have to watch Blaine all the time, Blaine is a pain, and that is the truth. I'm pretty sure that Blaine is dangerous, and that is the truth. What is black and white and red all over? A blushing zebra, and that is the truth. Blaine is the truth. I want to go back and that is the truth. I have to go back and that is the truth. I'll go crazy if I don’t go back and that is the truth. I can't go home again unless I find a stone a rose a door and that is the truth. Choo-choo, and that is the truth. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. I am afraid. That is the truth. Choo-choo.

And I just have to add that I can't hear either of the quotations at the beginning of Jake's essay any more without thinking of Butch and Sundance. As a slight derailment, they're actually talking about Affleck and Damon doing a remake of that movie. Why not The Sting? Or is that next?
