There is much that isn't right with this post. There is time that isn't much to spend expressing it. Is "insipid" the correct word to describe the sound? Ber asks. Maybe. "Insipid" means "lacking flavor". I think this just lacks taste. I love it.

Peace and lunch!

Also, I wrote "ei-ei-eighth day" but I must have known it was the ninth, right? I must've.
