I used to watch GI Joe religiously when I was a kid. Just another poorly written 30 minute toy commercial, I now realise, and not even the best of the lot. That would be Transformers. But it worked on me... I'd beg and beg, and once in a while, if I did enough yard work, dad would take me to toys r us and buy me a tank or something.
There were no more beautiful words to me than "assembly required."
After snapping the thing together, I'd slowly melt the little GI Joe men on a lightbulb, one limb at a time. I didn't want them; they were a lumpy, awkward representation of the organic that never seemed to have a place next to the sleek robotic deadliness that had thrillingly, miraculously found its way from the TV to my bedroom floor.
I INHALED A LOT OF PLASTIC FUMES.
But the writing on that show was insulting, even to an 8 year old. I vaguely remember an episode in which a giant blob was threatening freedom, and they tried to poison it by throwing apples at it. Because, you see, every apple seed has a tiny amount of cyanide in it.
That was great... the most elite, high-tech anti-terrorism corps of the US army had no weapon more powerful than the factoid! Knowing is half the battle.
All this ran through my head at work today after I accidentally ate some apple seeds. Three of them, I think. I'm either going to die of cyanide poisoning now, or else I will have to spend 3 months of the year in colorado for the rest of my life.
And then I thought, "maybe right now you should be focusing on the extremely deadly saw in your hand, dumbass."
I put up real pics of me!

My little sweetie eats kookoo for cocoa puffs (sorry to let the secret out) about twice a day, hence the cereal killer comment. I think that eating cereal as a meal replacement sort of constitutes a 'slim fast' type plan, but I am not one to judge. hehe.
I would say that you will win a cd of 8-bit but I seem to be address untrustworthy. Maybe a p.o. box that you would like it sent to??? O.k. I will leave it on your terms since there is no website to check if I am a serial killer (as of yet). hehe.
He is coming to see me friday and I want the world to know!!!
anyway, you remeber the "arise serpentor arise" series where they ( cobra)"magicaly" took dna from the 10 most ruthless rulers the world has ever known and created the supreme empereor......you want to talk about falsity.
