mmmlxxxi

brief, comp
licated and
tons of fun.

that’s me.
remember?
tonight, we’ll

concentrate
mostly on the
fun. kosh? i

finally
gave my
brother

the advice
he always
wanted

to hear: it’s
just plain
hot to make

nonsense
out of
sense.

in fact, it’s
the only
right thing

to do. to
desecrate
the sensible,

to wreak
havoc on
the calm.

there’s
entirely
too much

complac
ency out
there. we

can surely
agree on
that. am

i right? to
cast doubt
wherever

there’s cer
titude. to
make non

sense out
of sense,
if you will.

i know
the de
tails look

a bit sus
picious
on the

surface,
your
honor.

but
i ass
ure you

that once
you allow
me to

explain
the logic
behind

the move
ment from
each seem

ingly jaw
dropping
accusa

tion to
the next,
i swear you

will thence
forth deny
that you

were ever
even skept
ical. i am

the good
guy. i al
ways have

been. it’s
just in my
nature to

seek out
order in
order to

rustle up
a dust-storm.
but officer,

you are
a man of
the law,

are you not?
so i assume
you know

the basic
laws of
science.

let me
offer as an
example

the law of
entropy.
physics

class,
day
one:

every
thing’s
going

in the
general
direction of

chaos. of
deterioration.
structure in

evitably be
comes de
struction.

there’s
just no
denying it.

so. might i
please just
know what

i could
have poss
ibly done

wrong here?
this is what i
do: i help

nature
take its
course.

it’s in my
nature to
help nature

take its
course.
naturally.

and just
between
you and me,

how could i
not? i mean,
who doesn’t

like nature?
am i right?
i mean, we

all know i
am. how
could i not be?

now. it’s
been a pleas
ure. and i trust

i didn’t muss
such a gorgeous
sunday. i mean,

just look at it.
how could i
possibly...?
