It's already not a part of my imagination.  That's your problem, remember?

You couldn't find Houston if you were standing downtown at the corner of
Smith and Franklin.  (Actually, in your case, about a mile northeast of
there -- at the corner of Jensen and Lyons -- ought to be just about right
for you.)

Wow.  DOI just can't get anything right, can they?  I got on at Kirby, I got
off at Westpark, and I went on home from there.  (Just to be different and
waste some more of your time, though, tonight I'll get off at Fountainview,
go down Renwick to Beechnut, and then go all the way out to Corporate and
come in that way.  I hope you're taking notes on this.)

Keep your regular job -- otherwise, Fred Rogers is going to want to have a

You're right.  I had no problem with it, for your assertion was shown to be
nothing more than that.

Shared dementia may be thriving.  DOI is DOA.

Too bad you're not getting a real job, out there in the world away from your
DOI...it'd be funny watching you try to convince *any* employer you had any
sense at all.
