if your name was Thelonious Sphere Monk you would have to be quite a guy, you know?

Sphere, what a middle name. And I only hope to pull a joke like that on someone someday.

Woah man maybe it was real and his mom was on the mission and imagined that she'd have a kid that could play like crazy and make crazy jokes. Being born as a result of super mind powers endowed by an alien device would almost be like being from space. It's all making sense now.

holy cow! that is awesome. it reminds me of this story that my boss at work told me; there is a guy that works in the maitnence department at my school named van, who is probably from space (he wears gucci sun glasses and a gucci hat all the time), and one day he was talking to my boss rob for a while and then mid-sentence, just walked away. three years later, rob was on the subway and saw van, who then came up to him and picked up the conversation that he had left rob hanging on three years ago. it is strange how some people can do that. thanks for reminding me about that ddt thing i think that this thanksgiving i will drop the t and end the almost 4 year ddt, but i will see.
