[laughter] speaking of being down it s the end of the world as we know it, a gene editing experiment at northwestern university terms fluffy answers into aggressive mutant rage monsters. kind of like me when my celtics blowout game six but it is all good. we don t need that. we don t have the video the fighting hamsters? this is terrible. i am upset and shocked at so much to bring david and i am sorry i ll have to let this one go. just so you know, hamsters are jerks anyway. they sleep during the day and they bite everybody, never heard of a bathroom. whatever.
