I don't want to see that. Especially not when eating a late afternoon Oh, Henry!

Feel free to suggest alternatives. This one's just something I came across.

As you know, I live to please you. At the same time, I don't have the energy or inspiration at this moment to seek alternatives, so I guess I really only live to please you if pleasing you doesn't take any effort.

These are fine when they involve Flinty flinging it though.

We can accomplish our goals through simple castration. No need to let anyone die.

Castration is so early 20th Century. The future belongs to gene alteration. Finding out which part of the genetic code causes diabetes, and altering the genetic make up of the person with the disease and/or of their progeny. It is going to open up a whole Pandora's Box of moral issues, which I think is why the television special I imagined when I was kayaking last night was called "Pandora's Box," or something like that.

It's not just about diabetes. It's also about protecting slutty teenagers.

That's all just stupid and dangerous. Look at Ruben's paintings. Paradigms of beauty change. But what happens when we make designer babies and everybody ends up looking like Halle or Mel Gibson or whatever, and then the vision of beauty switches, like global warming, to Roseanne and PeeWee? Huh? Nobody gets hot for ANYBODY anymore, sex stops, and the whole species dies out, and it's all your fault, you and that Pat chick.

C'mon SNL, an I Love the 80s skit is just waiting to be born. I can't imagine that this wouldn't be funny.

I'm not going to London. $7k.

(And they're not stale yet, but that day is coming, and don't think you won't hear about it. No pressure.)

I will change them periodically as I see fit.

When I was in law school, I was dating a guy who lived in Vancouver (I lived in Toronto). I decided one Friday that I wanted to go see him that day. Cost me $2k. Crazy. (Actually, it cost us each $1k. but still insane). A fun weekend though.

No, Pandora's Box was on Spice at 1 AM. Did you pick any mushrooms while kayaking and lose part of the evening?

I'm pretty sure "Pandora's Box" was the porn dvd that Hank got busted watching while driving. Your television special, I believe, was called "Chocolate Genome." I'll have to check the Tivo.
