  • "And then I kind of noticed that there hasn't really been anything to replace it in all this time that we've been away, and we had such a weird act, such a strange set of contradictions that all came together, and even though I've got this entirely different life now-I'm thoroughly engrossed in my day job-still, somehow the artism kind of got back to me and I found myself needing to do this again.

I think this could be why the Illuminati are preparing Mars for colonization. We need some place to put Wankerville. (I promise I'll write after my visit is through.)
