I have eaten the beans that were in the cupboard

This is just to say

I have dropped
a squid
on a major
American city

and I
did it to
save
the world

Forgive me
the damage is
only temporary
I am afraid.

William Carlos Williams

I'm not sure if the poem or the tags are more amazing. I don't even...ahaha you are a true scholar.

*bows* I also did one for Rorschach but it ended up suspiciously emo.

Your icon terrifies me, though.

She looks like she's just thrown a hapless subordinate into a pit full of crocodiles.

I'm going to stay away from windows for the next few months.

And boats.

And wine.

And research buildings.

And naked blue dudes.

And I'll cash in my awesome points and buy enough tinfoil to insulate my nuclear bunker from alien mind rays. Thank you.

You forgot the kitchens of dingy NY tenements.

Adrian informs you that, not to worry, he quite enjoyed the poem. The Official Disapproval is just standard procedure in these cases, and carries no further threat. (I would avoid chewing on the demerit coupons, though, as they might have unforeseen hallucinogenic effects.)

On the subject of aluminum foil as an insulating substance, he would also like to direct your attention to the study detailed at http://people.csail.mit.edu/rahimi/helmet/, which may prove enlightening. Evidently the standard Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie, in multiple configurations, actually serves to amplify and concentrate signals in certain frequency bands...which suggests that the advertisement of tinfoil for such purposes is itself a government conspiracy.

unforeseen hallucinogenic effects

*eyeshifts*

*chews on them*

...which suggests that the advertisement of tinfoil for such purposes is itself a government conspiracy.

How do I know that this isn't propaganda distributed to deter me from using tinfoil, though?
