&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] That male-ling is certainly enjoying mauling that balloon.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Leyla] &#x22;Male-ling&#x22;?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Kid] *Bat!*&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] His fists fly furiously, small dull bats pattering the round rubber skin of the spheroid.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Leyla] Are balloons even made of rubber?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Kid] *Fwap! Piff! Bat! Poof! Bat!*&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] Oh! But they wish they were!  When balloons dream that is what they wish for.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Balloon] Zzz.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] Their dreams most often end up deflated by reality.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Leyla] But they were FILLED with such potential!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] A mere illusion!  Balloon dreams are filled with AIR.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Leyla] YEESH. &#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] That last pun was a bit of a STRETCH?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Leyla] It did not fly.</description>

[Nillan&#x27;s letter] They buy their dogs and monkeys and lizards little pieces of clothing and parade them around like children or something.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Dog at Little Miss Fido Dog Beauty Contest] Hrm?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;

&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan&#x27;s letter] Wow! Can you imagine how cruel that would be?  I could, like, cause depression in that man&#x27;s life...&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nubuktu] No one ever remembers me.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan&#x27;s letter] And then -- because he got depressed -- his wife would get all depressed too.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nubuktu] I am so sad.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nubuktu&#x27;s wife] My soul is tormented.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan&#x27;s letter] And then, of course, their dog would be depressed.  Because animals are people too.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nubuktu&#x27;s dog] Aooo&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan&#x27;s letter] Of course, there is the risk that I could bump into him some day in the future!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nubuktu] You!  My DOG is depressed because of you! *Fist Shake!*&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] Dogs don&#x27;t have those types of feelings!... BOB. *shrug*</description>

[Nillan&#x27;s letter] Oh!  Speaking of the bus!  Today, some guy on the bus totally thought I was someone that he used to know...&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Another guy on the bus] Hi!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] Hm?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;

[Nillan] Sorry, I think you&#x27;ve mistaken me for someone else.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan&#x27;s letter] ... Imagine!  What if I&#x27;d decided to play along? &#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] Hey!  How you DOIN&#x27;, Bob!?  It&#x27;s SO good to see you again.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nubuktu] Actually, no!  I am not Bob! I am a Nubuktu!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] But I am SURE I know you.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Guy on the bus] I must have forgotten your name.&#x3C;br&#x3E;

&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan&#x27;s letter] Speaking of the bus!  Craziness today... this woman got on and she was, like, misery personified...&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Miserable woman] EXCUSE ME!  EX-CUSE ME!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan&#x27;s letter] She was carrying some shopping bags and some guy accidentally bumped her... &#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Miserable woman] Glare...&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Guy on the bus] Sorry!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Miserable woman] CAN&#x27;T YOU SEE?! I&#x27;M CARRYING STUFF?!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Guy on the bus] Sorry!  Sorry!  Yeek!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Miserable woman] WHY were you in my way?  You could have *@#$N&#x27; KNOCKED me over!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan&#x27;s letter] Then her cellphone rang... &#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Miserable woman] Hello? *heart*&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] What surprised me was not so much her mood change... I was shocked by the thought that someone would even call her.  Because a woman like that should NOT have friends.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Leyla] I bet she was pretending so she would look really important.</description>

&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] It&#x27;s time... a look at this list!  I saw Sam last month... does that qualify as not seeing someone for a &#x22;long&#x22; time?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] I don&#x27;t think so.  &#x3C;br&#x3E;
The List:&#x3C;br&#x3E;
1__ Get out of the house.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
2__ Call a friend you haven&#x27;t seen for awhile.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
3__ Go for coffee.  Order something you&#x27;ve never tasted.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
4__ By me a Xmas gift.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] What are the rules to this list?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Nillan] This thing needs an instruction manual!</description>

&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Zoe] For real, though, why does everyone always like my brother?  I mean... I am an attractive lady, aren&#x27;t I?  Why aren&#x27;t men lining up for me?  I didn&#x27;t get hit on ONCE tonight!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Crystal] I think your confidence scares men off... men don&#x27;t like confident women... It dates back to ancient times...&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Zoe] You&#x27;d think cavemen would desire a woman with gusto!&#x3C;br&#x3E;

&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Leyla] It&#x27;s so HOT today.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Katelyn] Is it?  Isn&#x27;t Montreal just as hot in the summer?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Leyla] Yes, I suppose.  But at least THERE the heat is punctured by a jazz festival, bicycles, and plenty of culture.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Leyla] The only culture here is CAR culture, and it&#x27;s going bankrupt.</description>

&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Katelyn] Blame Detroit!  California has the strongest emission standards in the country!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Leyla] On the world stage, these standards are a JOKE.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Katelyn] Don&#x27;t diss America!  Canadians hunt baby seals!  Your Queen was up there last week feasting on seal heart!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Leyla] Are you saying that just because an animal is CUTE, we shouldn&#x27;t eat it?  In that case, no more lamb, or chicklets, or pigs, (because of &#x22;Babe&#x22;)...&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[Leyla] I can see Hollywood stars... embracing &#x22;Uglitarianism&#x22;... A diet consisting of fish, beef and genetically-modified-beakless-chickens.</description>
