You know, I'll give you one thing, Justin, (only one? what is it? it better not be a twig) ~ you seem to keep such a good attitude; and another thing, you don't seem to argue, I can't remember you ever getting down in the ant-lion pit, with the rest of the humans, arguing, which is awfully praiseworthy, I happen to think, or else you may be a giant sissy ~

~ yet ~

Be that as it may, most people (myself included, o'course) have their passions, which are probably 99.989% meaningless, or maybe more, I tend to think, and yet you just curl up like a cold armadillo and flatten out like a beer spilled in the sun. Slowly, calmly, but purposefully, like diurnally.

Can I type or what?

Huh?

Look at my fingers go.

It's amazing.

Still, be that as it may, ~

~ the numbers of humans who don't seem to argue, again including myself, or not, because I am NOT a Giant Sissy, is so small, that it isn't sheer. You know what I mean? Most numbers of humans are sheer. "The sheer numbers of people.....yadda yadda." People who don't argue, don't come in sheer numbers.

[Actually, I don't know what "sheer" means, in that usage. What does it mean?]
[I like it used for "tops", though.]

It's almost like a malady. What these few people have. "Rare." The absence of a thing. In America, particularly rare. Thailand is different.

This also makes you a tuber. Because a person has to look for signs; above the ground; that the desert tuber might be there; most people don't notice them, and don't carry a digging stick; but I have noticed you, hiding there, and I am prying or prising you out. Like manioc. I think.

LOOK AT MY FINGERS GO.

I HAVE A SHARP DIGGING STICK.
