It's Only a Form of Insect Collecting

Highlights include:

For your first two years (when you were small) you lived in a foster home with people who raised you into a very polite young man. Two is like you plus me, that's what two is.

Some people adopted you before me and they called you Timmy (which is a stupid name) and they returned your ass almost immediately because you were so annoying at that age.

Like think about how annoying you are right now at seven years old, but way worse.

I'm better than them though, I don't call you Timmy and I wore earplugs to bed for three years because you love to scream at bedtime. Earplugs are like when I roll over and go back to sleep even when you are yelling so so so loud.

I got you at a time in my life when I was really sick (being sick is like when I'm up late because I'm throwing up and you are a very handsome good boy who sits with me) and they had to put me asleep for a procedure. A procedure is like what happened to you when they put you asleep and took your balls away.

They released an album too! I don't think this song is on it but the rest of their stuff is SO GOOD !!

- the implication that the nasa spaceship got back to earth, from the moon, without nasa knowing

- nasa employee is super chill about it

- theres just a gun lying around

- the astronaut is taking a gun and nothing else to fight ghosts

nasa employee: oh hey u guys are back early.

astronaut: moon's haunted.

nasa employee: what?

astronaut: *loading a pistol and getting back on the rocket-ship* moon's haunted.

implication that the astronaut feels an immediate and personal responsibility to deal with this issue

the employee says "you guys" but only one astronaut replies. where are the others?
