Certain Truths Revealed |
| (Truth #1: Some
people just can’t be trusted.)
Raquel:
I met this Hindu guy. He lives in Wyoming. Kivinski:
If you marry him you’ll have to go to India and have *Izaza* performed
over you. Raquel:
What the hell is that? Kivinski:
A strange marriage rite. It usually involves incense and fertile
cattle. Raquel:
Hm. Kivinski:
The temple priest slaughters the animal following three days of non-stop
chanting. Then the newlyweds partake of its quivering flesh. Raquel:
Sounds like fun. Kivinski:
Actually, I just made *Izaza* up. Hindus are vegetarians.
(Truth #2: Trolls are probably not real – though, much like God, you can never really know for sure.) <Raquel gets disconnected> Kivinski:
Where did you go? Did I scare you? Hope not, cause this conversation
has been quite nice. I was sleepy before. Now I'm wide awake and bushy-tailed,
much like a plastic lawn fawn. Raquel:
For some reason, I got disconnected. Kivinski:
Weird. Could be trolls... By the way, did I mention I was visited by
Christmas Elves this year? Raquel:
No. Kivinski:
Oh. That's because I wasn't. And you were probably just disconnected
due to some glitch... Raquel:
You're getting delirious. Kivinski:
...I sincerely doubt you were disconnected by trolls. Raquel:
Well, I could have been. You never know. (Truth #3: The actor Steve Buscemi makes some people horny.) Kivinski:
Would you marry Steve Buscemi if he walked through the door right now?
If he swept you off your feet and transported you--without moving--to some
Tahitian Island? Raquel:
No, cause he's married and has a kid. Kivinski:
Oh...what if he didn't? <alternate universe scenario> Raquel:
If he wasn't married and didn't have a kid, I wouldn't -- unless we got
to know each other first. Plus he's in his early 40's, so I don't know.
And he smokes. Kivinski:
Okay...Steve Buscemi walks in. You trade life stories for sixteen
straight hours. He sweeps you off your feet and transports you--without
moving--to some Tahitian Island (but not before quitting smoking first).
Raquel:
Yes, Steve Buscemi makes me horny. Kivinski:
You like intense, weasely men, don't you? (Truth #4: Same as Truth #1.) Kivinski:
You know, "kitty cats" are "kittu jvkwankrodmjr" in Croatian.
Raquel:
Hm. (Truth #5: Looking Scottish doesn’t necessarily imply that one resembles a kilted Mel Gibson.) Raquel:
I think U look a little Scottish. Kivinski:
Is it my Braveheart-esque pecs? Raquel:
SURE. Kivinski:
Okay, then. What seems so Scot-like about me? <eating
haggis> Raquel:
What is haggis? Kivinski:
The Scottish national dish...a collection of guts stuffed into (and
then baked in) a stomach. Raquel:
I don’t think you look Scottish anymore. (Truth #6: The sun rises at the same time in both Ohio and Tennessee.) Raquel:
Oh god it's 5:40! Kivinski:
Indeed. The sunrise is pretty. Raquel:
It hasn't risen here yet
Raquel:
...or there either, dorko. Dorko:
Ha ha! You caught me. (May I call you dorkette?) Raquel:
I like dorka myself. Dorko:
Well, Senora Dorka ... do you want me to let you go? Dorka:
If you want to chat still, it's ok. I just won't be that attentive. Dorko:
No. I don't want to keep you from sleep ... And if you're not attentive I'll probably just go off on some mad tangent about elephants. Let’s call it a night and do this whole thing again tomorrow. <exeunt Dorko and Dorka> <closing credits roll as theme music plays>
