The invention of the century

The invention of the century

(Note: This is my first attempt to post from Microsoft©™® Word®©™ I’m really nervous about it.)

Justin shared with me his idea for the greatest invention of the 21st century. He thinks that by 2085 we will have edible artificial nerves, allowing us to create breadstick hands for ourselves, so we can dip our hands in chili (or soup, or whatever) and then eat them! As far as I know, Justin had not been eating unidentified mushrooms (hallucinajasons) when he thought of this. He’s just the sort of person who would think of that sort of thing.

I came up with the idea of using “Breadfinger” (to the tune of “Goldfinger”) as the ad jingle. Also, I said we could have a working prototype by 2025, if we were to get ample government grant money. This deserves grant money as much as anything. Think about it: it could be a matter of national security. Actually, it can’t be a matter of national security, but it would be really cool. Imagine: hands made of bread! No denying: that would be cool in the extreme.

A conversation with Justin

Recently I was discussing a popular tv show with Justin, and he was describing to me a substance in the show that was a "hallucinajason." I somewhat sarcastically inquired what this meant, and he said: "I'm a Republican, and if my president can have Bushisms, I can have Bushisms of my own!" He continued, "That should be a campaign promise: a Bushism in every mouth!" That's why he voted for Bush, I guess. Kindred spirits, those.

Random house

My apartmentmate Justin is so full of random, weird observations and he just talks - apparently without direction. He predicts market trends. He pontificates on issues of the day. He moves in a weird, spasmodic way that I wish I could describe, and hope to videotape surreptitiously someday.

Current subject: back handsprings.

JRRR

Note: Justin can now almost do a "rainbow," which is where you're in a squatting position, you put one hand behind you, and you jump and do a back handspring-like move that way. Just so you know. Oct 19, '05
