News flash: America is fat. don't ruin the idea I have built up in my head. Once I get out of this crummy basement lab there will be wominz a-plenty flaunting their hoo-haas for all to see. Is that what happens? I've always wanted to do research on the cammeltoe effect!

Lam must not be aware of this alter ego. I've never met her, and have only seen a pic or two, but I get the feeling she'd slap the bejezus out of you. She considers my appetite a sign of a "healthy" guy It isn't like you go blind once you get married. Of course, I am not so stupid as to point out hot wominz to her.
