That Fit, We Tint"

Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back?

The Mirror: Achilles in a Lilypad Boat

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: If it's the same thing, it isn't a surprise.
W: It sounds as though you're feeling a bit world-weary.
M: In a parallel world, there could be anything.
W: In a parallel world, there could be ultimate kindness.
M: The definitive statement is the least conclusive.
W: I disagree, I like flat assertions.
M: The whole blonde obsession.
W: That goes way back in history, even to the Ancient Greeks.
M: Crumbly crackers.
W: Dusty pages, or should I say crackly scrolls?
M: Don't smash your lilypad boat against Rock's Hudson River.
W: Achilles wouldn't have gotten very far in a lilypad boat.
M: Better ask, what's a Wiccan-cism.
W: The Ancient Greeks may have been pagans, but they had taboos.
M: So was I!
W: You were a pagan?
M: Not even Google can tell us how to be unequivocal.
W: Go ahead, make a definitive statement about Wicca.
M: You didn't watch TV last night?
W: I watched a Letterman repeat.
M: Hello.
W: Johnny Depp was on in a fancy pirate jacket, describing his island.
M: Samuel read books, then stopped.
W: Samuel looked up from his book to see Johnny Depp on TV.
M: Johnny Depp was on in a fancy pirate jacket, describing his island.
W: Then Johnny Depp said one of his childhood heroes was Evel Knievel.
M: Now I feel more in control of the situation.
W: Why don't you interview me?
M: Then Johnny Depp said one of his childhood heroes was Evel Knievel.
W: No, you're supposed to ask me something about myself!
M: What is the fence made of?
W: Wilson Pickett(s)!
M: You were a pagan?
W: I tried to be a pagan, but I worried about cults and bugs.
M: (Snap)
W: (Dons beatnik beret)
M: Let's agree to turn off the internal phonograph.
W: More like an internal DVD player, these days.
M: Well, I must go to work now.
W: Goodbye!
M: Closing in 5 seconds ... Goodbye!
