recently, my friend came down to sydney and visited me, and we went to the pub because that is where he likes to go, and he likes to have serious conversations and i do not.

he was hoping that other people may be friendly and come to our table and join us to have a drink and a chat, and i was not.

he started a conversation out of the blue about genetic modification and it's potential benefits to society, and he wanted me to participate in the conversation because he thought i was intelligent and in a serious mood, and he thought that the sound of us talking "intelligently" may attract some girls who were sitting nearby to sit with us.

he spoke in a manner that was artificially loud, and i knew that he was trying to sound smart and loud enough to be overheard, and after he finished his initial spiel, i decided to play the game, and so i said that i think the most pressing think that geneticists should turn their talents to is to create a "paw paw" (a fruit with many regional names) that did not smell like vomit.
he was momentarily stunned at that suggestion, and i said that it would address many issues that face blind people in tropical countries.
he pushed his glasses closer to his head and opened his mouth to curtail my trajectory into what he predicted would be a flight of absurdity, and i continued with my reasoning.

i said that people who are blind who also have intestinal problems in tropical countries would be likely to vomit often, and if they wander around in a mental stupor, they may re-encounter their vomit and mistake it for spilled paw paw casserole, and due to their hunger, they may re-ingest the same bugs they have previously purged, and thereby perpetuate the vicious cycle of.....

he interrupted me and told me that he "got the drift", and i excused myself and thanked him for the conversation and went home.
__________

also "happy birthday" english jess (for when it was). i can not remember seeing anyone else saying "happy birthday" which i thought was odd.

I've been getting carried away with my crafts. That's why I haven't been as active here on WP.

I'm not interested in celebrity slimming looks, or celebrity autism treatments.

I want to try some KFC this Christmas. You know that it's a Christmas tradition in Japan to eat there?
