It would kind of make sense… since Artie’s kind of a chimera, maybe the human bits of him have the “gay gene” while the gerbil bits don’t… or maybe the “gay gene” in humans is used for something completely different in the gerbil genetic code. — Anyway, not like it matters, since it’s his conscious decision in the end. Just my random wonderings on the interactions between genetics and sexual identity.

(I was going to say “Hella quick”, but it really doesn’t sound right saying that with an English accent)

We’re at the office dance now,
Dave thinks this is his chance now!
What kind of odds can Artie give?
The best approach remains, then,
If Helen’s bruised her brain stem
And finds she’s got a week to live!

Dave and Helen dating?
On thin ice we are skating!
Strategy debating …
There ain’t none!

Bow ties are cool.

And technically it’s not a tweed suit, because he’s wearing dark slacks
