Isn't your thanksgiving in October? That cranberry sauce has been sitting in your fridge for a long time now. Might want to turn it over the lab instead of consuming it.

This is good, O. I like the

This is good, O. I like the way you've turned into a complete bastard.

And your experiment seems worthy of some sort of public support as well. Mebbe you should add a few more of those facts we discovered about Adams. Like the thing with ferrets. And gettin' jiggy with Siggy Freud's sister-in-law. That was nasssssty.

BTW. If A-man's head explodes, are you expecting there'll be more light, or dark, meat? I got some leftover cranberry sauce. No sense wasting.

I think so. But I didn't

I think so. But I didn't watch it, so I can't be sure that Giamatti portrayed our 2nd president with just the right tone of prickishness. I didn't read the 400,000 page, 40 pound biography that the bio-pic was based on either. I prefer to rely on 20 page chapters to give me all the information I need. That way I don't have to worry about stupid stuff like nuance. Plus, he's been dead for like 200 years. Who really cares anymore?

(Pssst...Except for not reading the bio or seeing the HBO thing, I really didn't mean any of that. I just know that Adams is A-man's most favorite president ever and I'm conducting an experiement to see if I can make his head explode.)
