I love the research article.

I'll tell ya, I thought it was just me that all the articles piled up next to my computer this morning were starting to read like that. I titled the review I was writing: p53: Im in yur nucleuz, suppressin yur tum0rz. I thought it was a really good idea to turn it in that way. It seemed really funny to me then. I should have just gone with chicken.

So, in short, MPDSEA -- yes.

hmmmmm... this reminds me of a patient in a convalescent hospital where i worked years ago. sweet little old lady, she used to walk around with her hair up in a bun and an apron on, saying "chicken, chicken, chicken," all day long. we figured she must have lived on a farm at some point in her life.

one day she was saying "chicken, chicken, chicken," and out of the blue, she added "canned crab." we only heard it that one time, never again. never did figure that one out.

i think this whole subject must be channeling that lady...

This is about PowerPoint, isn't it?

What was really being said here is, "Blah blah blah."

Except that it's about how people - human beings - know how to stand up in front of a presentation screen and impersonate serving a purpose.

Alright. Well, I have an idea. It's not a very good one, but it's still alright.

Whenever any of us happen to be included in one of these pointless sessions of dry-humping our very existence away, let's re-evaluate our own lives.

I mean, I live on the island of Key West. There are chickens everywhere. And roosters. And baby chickens, too. But you know what? It really fucking bites here. It just does.

So chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken?
