In every edition I've seen the line is  So many different people in the same device.

message: Bokononistic sex is a union of two souls achieved by placing the soles of two people's feet together. 
Er.. from what I remember the touching of the soles of the feet was not sex. Maybe I am confused?
: You are correct. Boku-maru was not sex; it was an ecstatic ritual instead of sex.
: the mingling of soles... Perhaps one of the best literary puns.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.123.76.62 (talk) 19:31, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

message: on an interesting note... does anybody think there's a relation to Bokononism and Bokanovskism (of Brave New World)? that sure would put an interesting twist on things... Dreamer.redeemer 21:51, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bokanovsky process 

message: Is it just me, or does the sound and meaning of Foma - "Harmless [and/or comforting] lies" - seem a positive spin on Huxley's "Soma" - a sort of "perfect opiate" that acted as a social shock absorber and means of escape into personal comfort and blissful contentment rather than face the unpleasant realities of life?  Does anyone know if the two are connected in any way?  Could we ask Vonnegut?

message: Those lyrics seem way too long to claim fair use for. We can use short extracts, but not that much. 86.132.140.45 (talk) 23:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyright problem? 

message: You don't have to cite a work directly for quotes taken from it. Or you only have to cite it ONCE. Putting a cite tag on this wiki is grossly inappropriate. I've seen the same thing done with quotes from Hamlet. Come on, folks! SBHarris 00:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cite problems?? 

message: Now he says they represent too much content (2-3 pages out of a full novel about something else). I can only conclude that he just doesn't like this page. I'll revert once more, but any of you who are interested in this page had better chime in. Next revert we go to ArbCom or something. SBHarris 01:29, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  This time quotes have been deleted again by the same person, for a different reason 

message: Perhaps if we keep the sayings and definitions, and perhaps the best calypso (God made mud), that would be enough to satisfy the objectors who say that this has too much primary material to be Fair Use as in WP:FUC? I need some other inputs, here, folks! SBHarris 23:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  It has been suggested that we remove some of this material 

message: Perhaps the references (except for #1, which I just added today) should be re-categorized as "references in pop culture." They don't really seem to support the material in the article.
(P.S. I'm new to the talk pages/editing and bad with technology so I apologize for anything I might be doing wrong.)

message: Is there any link between Bokonon and a Bokor? 205.215.175.154 (talk) 18:34, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think so. Cat's Cradle was published in 1963 and as far as I know, Vonnegut only mentioned Voodoo for the first time in Deadeye Dick, published almost two decades later in 1982. --Thrissel (talk) 22:55, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
