Okay, so what in the name of hell does sharks talking have to do with anything?

I hope you feel better. I like your stories they are similar to the way you tell stories in real life. Which is really to say that I miss you.

You need to find a lassie in Salt Lake to make things more interesting!

Sam! You have malaria! I feel like that's kind of cool and kind of scary and kind of awesome, all at once.
I had a vodka tonic last night, it was delicious. I will dedicate the next one I drink to you. Hooray for quanine, or however you spell it.

You're right, sharks ARE hysterical when they talk. And I even have an idea about what you're talking about!

[sxoa]

I know! I'm pretty excited actually! Especially since its the wussy strain, its like I get all the benefits of Malaria and non of the bad stuff! I'm going to have a gin and tonic tonight, it'll be... therapeutic... yeah. That's it... therapeutic. You should will in on sharks, because I think he is confused.
