The Shirt
The shirt touches his neck
and smooths over his back.
It slides down his sides.
It even goes down below his belt—
down into his pants.

eric: did you see that velcro pic?
kara: YES
kara: it is cool
eric: too bad they can’t make velcro that big
eric: might be scary though i guess
kara: that would be a neat art installation
kara: giant velcro you have to work together with others to pull apart
eric: it would probably make a cool sound
kara: yeah
kara: have to be in a padded room tho
kara: because everyone will fall over when it rips free
eric: whoops!
eric: shrimp on a treadmill!
kara: HA
eric: look at him skitter!

kara: sweet!
dawn: you and katie can fight over them
kara: ha
kara: maybe amy can sell tix to the fight
dawn: good idea!
kara: katie says we need a mud pit
dawn: we’ll see what we can do
* the ‘yates’ is a patented maneuver wherein katie punches/smashes her opponent in the forehead with a beer can
update: there was no fight, but there was a lot of liquor before noon.
…because i guess it’s counter to their own interests, if you know what i mean.

eric: Syphilis!
kara: as old as creation!
kara: lol
eric: 20/20 is great too
kara: 13,000 between 11 and 15?!?
kara: wtf?
eric: “The Great Crippler” would be a fantastic album title
kara: what does syphilis do exactly
kara: i don’t even know
eric: well i read in vice magazine one time that either syphilis or gonareaha (sp?) is basically the same as a UTI
eric: forget which one
kara: ew
eric: but isn’t syphilis the one that makes you crazy later
kara: hm i think ‘the clap’ is the one that causes burning urination
eric: like on House?
kara: but i don’t know which one is the clap
kara: yeah, syphilis makes you crazy
eric: ok, and i think “the clap” is another name for gonnareah?
kara: like in the baroque cycle
kara: is it?
eric: good then, that’s sorted
kara: LOL this is the best conversation ever
eric: hehe
eric: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonorrhea
eric: incidentally, how come there is not a band called “The Clap”
eric: it would work so well with all those other “The Something” band names
kara: LOL
kara: your band should be ‘the clap’
eric: maybe make it harder to get groupies to have sex with you tho
update: ok get this – there actually is a band called ‘the clap‘. sorry eric. you’ll have to find a different name for your band.

kara: ha
eric: “the art of everyday communications part one”
kara: oh jeez
