Presumably, we have all tried to be like him! (As far as I'm concerned, I have actually gotten to know a very strange creature, I think it's called femilie or something like this. It's very strange. It seems it can be in two places at the same time: you hear the toilet flushing while talking to it, even if you're not in the bathroom. Also, it seems to want to talk about unusual subjects like the weather and what are we going to have for dinner. And don't let me begin to talk about the food! I mean, _proper_ dinner is a cold pizza or a cheeseburger and fries, right? Not this strange stuff called vedge-tables and sall-ade. And they don't drink coke like everyone else, they drink something called whine (what a name) or jews (surely we wouldn't want to drink _people_???). And they keep strange pets. This thing sure looked a lot like a fir tree, but it seemed to be growing a beard or something -- in silver, of all colors! And these big ear-rings, more like spheres. It didn't seem to move much. I tried to pet it, but it bit me, or stabbed me, or something. Ouch!) kai -- A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
