Natural Selection Misfires Sometimes
Some things even extinction doesn't want: Nematodes for one.
We found about a hundred of them in a soda can.
We recycle aluminum cans for nickels.
Those guys were gross! How do they do it? Do they need a soda can? All of a sudden are there just a hundred of them? Gross! We just poured 'em out and they just kept coming.
I know how snails do it; I seen 'em.
They got no sexes.
You be the male today they say.
Can't be too enjoyable.
Like I said we recycle.
Slugs don't like soda pop, they like beer.
But they never learn.
They get drunk real easy and die and turn into slime.
Gross! And they don't always pour out so good.
They get stuck on the pull-tab half way out.
Gross! Got sidetracked.
Some things even extinction don't like.
Alligators and crocs are prehistoric, right?-but I understand that better than nematodes.
At least gators are on top of their food chain.
Sharks, isn't too hard to understand why they are still-around-prehistorics too.
On top they are also.
I used to love shark steak.
They are full of mercury now because they are on top of the food chain.
Even good old tuna (steaks-great stuff), full of Omega 3 but can't eat it.
Got sidetracked.
All of that weird stuff in Madagascar.
What would extinction want with that stuff? They say it's all fragile and indigenous or something.
I wouldn't want all that crazy stuff.
Us, I think extinction's gonna like.
Can you imagine us lasting as long as the dinosaurs did? We're not so tough.
Not exactly on top of the food chain compared to crocs and sharks.
We think we are; dream on artificiality.
One thing we are is self-destructive.
Too much brain doin' too much nonsense except surviving.
Control-Alt-Delete.
We're getting there quick.
We never learn, get drunk really easy too, like slugs.
At least I hope that we won't get stuck on the pull-tab when they pour us out.
Hope there's a hospital nearby if we do.
Don't want to turn to slime.
Ashes would be better.
Just blowin' in the wind is good.
Well at least the Cleveland Cavs finally did something-got the NBA record for losses in a row.
And I hear that you can drink right out of Lake Erie again.
Now the bad news-I just reread Robinson Crusoe for the first time since the 1960s.
Not that much of it is about his man Friday! Another childhood illusion shattered! Drat.
As Captain Beefheart said, "It's a hard life I'm livin', well well.
" Didn't he mean oh well? Oops, got sidetracked.
Darn, I just found out nematodes aren't usually conical.
So what were those things? Well I stand by this-Gross! And prehistoric they were.
WHATCHAGONNADO.
