18th

It's April Fool's Day and I don't care. I'm not going to mention its history or its merits. I'm just going to go over to everyone's house, ask to go to the bathroom, sidle up to that porcelain chair, remove the top on the back of it, and piss into the top. Because I hate when people are happy, and piss should come out when the flush. And I'll probably pour sugar into their gas tanks and leave clippings of hair in their fireplace.

  2. Gesundheit, confrere. Wait, don't tell me. You die at the end? That'd be a heckuva ending. The humor I like, so we're now internet blog-acquaintances, which is pretty much the fifth-highest echelon of quantifiable friendship. Nice esprit, really reaching for the synesthesia bit, huh? The self-depreciation is where it's at, though Beck would disagree.

  3. Spoiler Alert: I DO die in the end. My immortality decreases as I write this.

  4. It's that damned entropy, you can't be immortal in a closed system. Limited immortality is just so depressing. I'm upset you stole my literary ending, that's how I wanted my autobiography to end.
