“The hamster friend said being able to do front rolls didn't make the hamster as good as Bruce Lee, which was not a true statement and not an untrue statement, because the word 'good' is meaningless until defined within a context and a goal, and hamsters when enjoying the company of other hamsters rarely define or think about contexts and…

“As a teenager, he made screaming noises at night in his room, like a deranged person. He threw his electrical pencil sharpener at the walls.
