A slinky.
Make it out of brass.
Lego!
Add some tubes, and color them brass and brown.
Weeble-wobbles?
Wrap the bottoms in leather.
You really can turn anything into shitty faux-steampunk.

So uhh, while Jake and Tashi are …
Off staring at Tashi’s piercing?
Yeah.
Yeah. What’s up?
What is the deal with you two?
What deal? We’re good friends.
Who seem to often end up in … if you weren’t …
Differently oriented?
Hahahah yes, exactly, one might talk!
So all right, your nipples aren’t pierced. Belly button?
Uhm…
Mark!
You’re letting him guess! What? I can’t help?
No.
You are a strange and twisted bird.
Bird! Who says “bird” anymore to describe a woman?
I just did.
Well, can I use it, too?
Of course.
Bird! Ha!
No, come on, I want to know.
Want to know what?
There is nothing to know.
I think they’re stonewalling you, Jake.
I know they are. You two always do this!
Do what, dearling?
Shut me out, like I’m some kind of … straight man.
Whoa there, cowboy, are we finally gonna have that talk?
I was thinking, we should go to a nude beach.
We should?
Well, I should.
Is this some sort of bad 80′s comedy ploy to see a bunch of women naked?
No, I just feel that, as a society, we have been too uptight about our own bodies and should get back to nature more often, revel in our flesh and not be ashamed of it.
So you want to see some free T and A?
That too, sure.
Don’t do it.
I had the worst dream last night.
Drink this and tell me all about it.
Well I was in my room and my cat was all yowling and being fussy.
Your cat? Yes, what is his name again?
Mister Floppybutt.
Dignified to the end.
You know that new Vietnamese place on Seventh?
Yeah. The one with the big stuffed buffalo in the window?
That’s the one.
Why is there a big stuffed buffalo in the window, anyway?
I heard this new band last night, they were pretty good.
What did they play?
A mix of country and European funk, really.
And that was good?
Well it was interesting, and these days in the current musical climate – interesting is good.
I don’t know about that. Shouldn’t music be judged by itself and not by the climate or society it is born into?
Next you’ll say that we should judge art by its own merits.
