It's a particularly characteristic Ray thing to do - declare that his own self-destructive behavior is the result of mysterious scientists, rather than his own impulses.

There was/is a brand of cookie that the Tobacco shop next to my old job used to sell... "Van-O-Lunch" or "Choc-O-Lunch" cookies, 35 cents a pack. The name always intrigued me, as though there was some sector of the populace that could be convinced that mediocre sandwich cookies could comprise an entire meal, because the cookies told them so.

About once every six months, I forget that I cannot eat Fritos any more, and get myself one of those snack packets from the vending machines in the cafeteria at work. I regret that for about the next day and a half. The ingredient list on Fritos should read: "Oil, Salt, Corn."

And the diabetes, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Fritos just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my insulin level from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

Teodor's indulgences, in this case, seem relatively harmless: "'youthfully' kicking away" seems to intone Molly's subtextual interest in T more than whatever T might have meant in his actions, so I have a hard time blaming it on him. My guess is that most movement on a skateboard is going to be perceived as youthful by most women.
jesus christ what am I writing.
I don't drink espresso is it a sin and citation to drink it one gulp?
