I ordered the penne, asked for more iced tea, and fiddled with my napkin. It was too much too soon - the crowd, a date, the fake plants, the odd number of slices in the bread-

Don't. No. But I couldn't trust that I wouldn't. After duct taping my lips and wrapping the band several times around my head, I felt that we were safe. "Mrumph," was all that she

Chase of the seven legged goats. One goat had five mouths. It was a sad day for the normal goats, who stayed in the basement for sixteen years and six months. It reeked of DDT. Not

Watching the seven-legged goats made me realize that I had entered that phase in the evening when my hands and feet went ice cold while the rest of my body started to smolder. Fin.

Goats with an odd number of legs and (perhaps) a random number of mouths. Just thinking about it makes me want to rearrange my office supplies...again.

I noticed your desk chair overly fire proofed. Kevlar fabric or something newer. The mouths are not random as we broke our random generator sometime last random thing, lets say Armadillo. Yeah, then. Since Armadillo did the Kesel Run.

Armadillo is not as random as you would like to think. I see from your eyes that you had an inkling and chose wrong.

Ha! Kevlar is for pillows - my chair is covered in an advanced fractal delinearized achronic aerogel isomorphic semi-crystal that only tangentially resembles armadillo. Actually, it's more like pangolin, but a diamond pangolin. An extrusion of a 11th dimensional tessero-pangolin into 3-dimensional space is closer to the truth. I may be putting off doing necessary work, or I may be not. But it's likely that I am. Like 5 sigma likely.

No, I am unlikely to Like 5 sigma. Is that your company? Or should I say, That is a bold statement. Choose your adventure.

I will save you the trouble; neither adventure was an adventure. The mechanical wombats on the Chancellor's Chair don't even work since Armadillo.
