Talpid 2

 

Hens teeth are more scarce than they used to be. not only did they activate a dormant gene to grow teeth, but they even took genetic material from mice and introduced it into chickens to form teeth. before they knew chickens already had that (dormant) capability. oh but if you do grow teeth, it'l kill you. nice.

so lets see; create object, chicken, based on generic chicken. get inactive gene from ancestor chicken which is still in the blood, so to speak. set gene to active. target talpid 2, and of course you get a toothy chicken. 

sweet, i can do that:

b = Gallus()

b.setBreed(Gallus giganteus)

b.setGene(talpid2,on)

b.setAlarm(low)

b.setCausality(egg)

b.setDivination(on,oracle)

print(b)

for that matter set causality attribute while you are at it. EGG. Done. bio genetics is great.

Oh and I HATE noisy chickens in the morning. great. thank you very much

and there is Horner as well with the search for the atavistic gene:

Fossil Fuel

Oops.  Still in the ER, they don't want to let me go home yet.  I told them I don't want to be sewed up...how in the heck will they sew through sharkskin?  More embarrassment for me.  Just bandage me up and let me go home, I say.

But no, the nice lady doctor seems determined to poke and prod me a little bit more.  And then she took some sample of my blood.  When she came back after that she was staring at me even more oddly.
"Um, we found some very odd material in your blood," she says hesitantly.  "Are you familiar with trilobits?" she asks.  "They're fossils...."  Her voice trails hesitantly.

Yeah, duh, what the heck?  Has she ever seen a half man, half shark in her Emergency Room?

I think not.

A brief intermission...in the emergency room

Oh damn!  I got so nervous thinking about all of this drama therapy that I starting nibbling myself again.  And again.  And again....until I damn near bit my wrist off!  Yikes!  Blood everywhere, my hand hanging by a thread.  I hopped in the car and drove myself to the ER, using one hand--oh god, my car will never be the same.

I guess the good news is that sharks have amazing healing abilities from wounds.  I've read up on this, trust me. But I'm not healing soon enough--blood everywhere!  All over me, all over the nice doctor in the ER, who keeps looking at me out of the side of her eye, like she doesn't want to stare at me. But sure, hell, why not?  I've got a shark's head (and heart?) with a man's body (and brain?).  Which one will win in the end?

Stay tuned.

To be or not to be....

Well, this has been frightening research.  I found the National Association for Drama Therapy, thinking I could find someone to help me figure out how to solve my problem, er problems.  I'm trying really, really hard here to play within the system. SO I found some videos about drama therapy and its not at all what I thought it would be!  These videos are SCARY!  I hate conflict (see this video for reference)  Or THIS video, which is confusing!

But, hmm, I COULD do that...acting out someone else's life from a photo.  Is that all it would take to cure me?  Well, if so, here is the picture I want to act out:

Half Shark, Half Jesus

Sorry to get sidetracked, but really?  Just found this website that advertises t-shirts that say "Half Man, Half Jesus."    I mean, what?  Is there some subliminal hidden message there?  I don't have time to think about it, I'm on a quest to find a drama therapist.  More later on that....

Later

Oh.  Its a band.  Oh.  Never mind.
