The best way to verify the authenticity of "Ocean Full of Bowling Balls" would be to go to the Firestone Library at Princeton University and compare the online version to the original. The same could be done with the originals of "Paula" and "Birthday Boy," which are part of the archives of the University of Texas in Austin.
The possibility of the stories being complete forgeries seems less likely because of the availability of the originals, but that doesn't explain the following bits in "Ocean Full of Bowling Balls":
"'Don't you feel like you're even her?'"
"Then Kenneth pressed the dash button, and the canvas top, helped by an overhead slam of my hand, began to go to its act, collapsing finally beneath the seat."
