Jay Leno and Letterman both did Depends jokes that day.
I read an entire article devoted to the brand and style of "maximum absorbtion unit" that NASA uses.
And just a few minutes ago I'm flipping around and hear a commentator on one of the cable "news" shows bitching that "I don't want to know about that, come on, that's just in bad taste." That whole evolution took two...three days?

Rod, you're older than me, sure, but not by very much. It's for damn sure that there's not enough of an age gap that I can't manage a piece of advice:
One day, just for the day, switch off the "In all seriousness" lever, because I think it's stuck (maybe from the hashish, that shit makes me serious too... I start talking about things people probably don't even think I actually know)... Okay, do get some absinthe, mix it with sugar, a little water, and some lemon juice (I was informed not to drink it straight, as it has too much alcohol... Oops:D ). Then, do a Danger Mouse marathon. Brilliantly hillarious cartoon with very limited hidden "significances" of any kind.
I mean, I totally platonically (word?) love you for who you are. Sometimes, however, I think you deserve some time off. Your incredible brain deserves silliness. If nothing else, read some goddamn Terry Pratchett to your kids. I recommed
Reaper Man,
Soul Music, and then
The Hogfather. They'll love it, and you'll love it. Trust me.
Take 2000 mgs of silliness a sifter of absinthe (the real stuff), two rolls of herbage, and call me in the morning.;) ;) :D :)
