#absurd

... the more I learned, the more conscious did I become of the fact that I was ridiculous.

When I sing, it sounds like I’m gargling spaghetti. Is it any wonder that women lust after me and mail me their panties? (Mail to: Jarod Kintz/12358 Fibonacci Way/Jacksonville, Fl 32258)

Despite marking the spot, Generation X has no treasure. How could they, when I dug it up first?
