what you forgot to fear in 2001 because you were more afraid of scary airplanes and box-cutters

Oral Polio vaccines made out of monkey kidneys (made available to the public in 1955) were found in the 60's to contain a virus called SV-40 which occasionally causes brain cancer, apparently, in lab animals and maybe showed up like 5 or 6 times in cancerously maligned human cadavers.

I am really glad I remembered while mindlessly combing the internets that you were posting on livejournal again. In 2001 I was not thinking about polio; in fact, I was probably combing the internets or posting on livejournal in my parent's log cabin or top bunk in my Columbia College dorm room.

I bet a year later I would then run into you looking crusty and fine at a bowling alley turned venue and ask you what YOU were doing to ensure we no longer use animal parts to prevent deadly diseases. In turn, you would dumpster an unforgivable pair of pants that would later turn into an ongoing joke between yourself and I. Five years after that day in Jewel, I will take ( ... )
