...okay, well maybe not International. I'm not sure. How about Babble Man of Mystery?
You see, I've been thinking - I know, I know, that can only mean bad news. But there's so much about you I just don't understand and can only dream of figuring out. I want to understand.
I mean, we don't see you for days. Maybe even a whole week and then you poke your head in to say Happy Birthday to GG and, bam, you're gone. It surprises me that you have yet to jump in the Vermont community with your affinity for KK and all. I would have expected you to be *at least* the fifth or sixth one there. Wait. Who is there besides KK and Scott, anyway? Hmm...maybe it's best if we just leave it to them. Anyway, I digress.
"Where exactly are you going with this, AD," you ask? (BTW, I love it when you call me AD ;).) Well, I'm just trying to figure you out. For example, I've heard you just love TVs yet you don't watch TV. Why is this? You purchase TVs just to play with the knobs and buttons but leave it off all the time? Seems like a rather expensive toy. Where does one put a TV that they do not watch? In the garage? So, now you’re hanging out in the garage playing with a TV’s knobs and buttons, but it is never turned on? Or maybe it’s turned on but not tuned to any station? Is it the TV snow that you like to see? I want to understand, kid. I really do.
And for goodness sake! You have reading glasses, but you don't read. You don't want to read? You can't read? In either case, why do you have READING glasses, then? Do you like the way they look on you? I’m guessing that’s not it because you try so hard to look like Chevy Chase and I don’t think he wears reading glasses. Does he? Are they the little half glasses that you look over when you look up from your "reading" to talk to someone? Do you have one of those chains on your reading glasses so you can hang them around your neck? That way, you won’t lose them all the time? Or sit on them and break them? Or when you fall asleep at your desk and fall off your chair, the glasses will remain by your side and out of harm’s way?
You eat Boca Burgers. I just do not understand this. Is it really a burger? What’s a Boca anyway? Do you grill them or just pop them in the microwave? Or maybe there's a special appliance to cook them in like those hot dog toasters? Have you ever seen those? You know, where it cooks your hot dog and toasts your bun all at the same time. Nifty! Do you eat them on a bun with ketchup and mustard and try to pretend they are real burgers?
Another thing that befuddles me. You have a calculator watch that doesn't calculate. Is this like the reading glasses? You wear it simply for fashion’s sake? Well, in this case, I must admit they are cute, so I would completely understand the fashion statement. So, unless there’s another reason you wear the watch, I suppose I do not need further clarification on this matter.
You have a space bar that doesn't always space. Howdoesthisnotdriveyoucrazy? You are enthralled with knobs and buttons so, I would think you could fix this for yourself. Are you sure the problem is with the keyboard and not the operator of the keyboard? Perhaps your thumbs are too busy wrapped around a cold beer while you are typing and you just don’t have the motivation to hit the space bar? I suppose I would understand this as well.
I’m simply perplexed by the notion that you're afraid of toilets, yet you insist on using them everyday. Wouldn’t you want to avoid something you're afraid of at all costs? And what are you so afraid of anyway? That something is going to jump up and bite you on the butt? Do you check your butt in the mirror before you leave the restroom? You should, you know. (This has been a public service announcement sponsored by The Friends of Karen_Kay.)
And finally, you love algebra. Well, sort of like the calculator watch, I do indeed understand this. In fact, this makes me oddly attracted to you. (Don’t tell KK, though, okay?) If you care to elaborate on this side of your personality, I would be more than happy to sit with a glass of wine by the fire and gaze into the computer screen while you explain to me the intricacies of computing Galois groups. Or better yet, as I will be drinking, just tell me finally why x = 2.
These are all things I don't understand about you. Things I strive to understand. You have an air of mystery around you and I find this quite intriguing and captivating. I implore you to share more of yourself with me, umm, I mean with all of us. In all reality, who doesn't want to know more about the man (umm...I assume you're a man) who calls himself kid47? Please tell us more.
Hope you’re having a marvelous Thursday, kid! Come out and play a bit. I even made oatmeal cookies for you last night :).
