he heard parabola as he woke

                                   reminded him  Rosebud    Citizen Kane

Rosebud  Kanes childhood sled

parabola  high school math

                              type of a curve made by an object  a hardball  thrown up in the air and it falls to the ground landing elsewhere

symmetric

Emma  math class  told him his face was symmetric

                                                        he blushed actuallyblushed  he liked Emma

didnt pursue her

she might have liked if he did

he didnt find outwas shy till senior year  then all hell broke loose

zip confidence went overt overdrive crazed

    he survived a winter hi-speed highway rollover that killed two grievouslyinjuried two  he made it out without a scratch

                   years after he quit going to churchbelieving in God

maybe He was throwing him a bone

he didnt bite

 

How do you think that happened?

Wasnt my time  Im partial to cats

                                      Nice to be aroundgrounded  part of a brethren  feral cattery

Brethren?  Cattery?

You mean titillate or irritate

They're two different things.

I disagree Wha irritates titillates

For instance?

Really

    Yeah. You demand examples explanations out of me all the time. Shoe’s on the oth . .

Evidently.

Anal Perineum  Digitally stimulated or with ones tongu . .

Irritated

Coud be irritated Meaning annoy make angry make impatient its first definition  Second  Biology  Physiology  Stimulate To produce an active response  Third Pathology Annoying  Abnormally excite make sensitive

Shaddup now

My disagreement noted  Understood

                                 Watchin True Detectives first season one character the others partner asks  Did you sleep?

they reply  I don’t sleep. I dream.

A fair assessment of me

                          Inside my head a Mariachi battle of the bands playing at once or the innards a carnival mirrored Fun House

You woudnt want it coudnt handle it

Practise

Ive a lifetime of practise

Sounds like it hurts.

Not so much

               If pained Id suggest commiserate with your son an daughterinlaw chiding you  the era of parent pushback

Generational

I enjoy how they come after youpull no punches

                                                   But theyre adults too  Hence commonground

They don’t come after you, you’re their uncl . .

. . I didnt raise your son They also know tha in their absence I put the screws to ya keep you warmedup from when they visit you visit

You realise that’s ganging up.

Gangin not necessary

                        Kinda like Batteries Arent Included  Goes without sayin  Tacenda

What is that?

Oh you said.

his chin set mouth hardened sounded like Youre lyin  he beat men or got beat for that

                                                                            Were friends  or friendly

    he waved the back of his hand as a magician might

                                                             Wha do ya think I mean

I’m sure I don’t know.

You press points  I makeem

                              If you made points wed more easily conversebut  youre tightlipped for whaever reason reasons

Degrees of separation.

Thas abrupt  Whaofem

I mentioned twopointthreesix degrees of separation.

                                                         You laughed.

I did

I was making a point.

A hilarious point  An inaccurate point

                                        Six  Where did the twopointthree preface come from 

That’s what I heard or read.

From who from where

I don't recall.

Wrong  Cant support it with evidence nonsense

                                                   We agree were factbased  Verify who where

If I can’t remember, how can I?

Research  If yacant remember ya shoudnt have said Wittgenstein Whereof Thereof

                                                                                              Im sceptical

You insist you are

I coudntwoudnt let tha fly

as a matter of fact It’s twopointthreesix.

    I disagree

                 The premise is based on peopleperson to person  Whos a pointthreesix person

It’s based on averages.

                         You understand averages . . . don’t you?

I do However I don divvy people up into pieces

Averages.

Fine

     Introduce me to a pointthreesix individual

Youll take my breath away

Arguments arent fashioned by opinions
