*Notes boredom with raised eyebrows. Makes bunny shape out of hands and positions them in front of the table lamp to make shadow bunny on the wall. Makes bunny appear to eat grass, hop around a bit, etc.*

*Sits up in hammock again, looks at puke-covered TV, people with red and ink-smeared faces, sees others wiggling eyebrows at each other, shrugs, sits back again and sips own personal version of the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster which is inexplicably sitting on small table next to hammock. Sighs, dozes off again*

Thinks to himself; "\in-EF-uh-buhl\, adjective: 1. Incapable of being expressed in words; unspeakable; unutterable; indescribable. 2. Not to be uttered; taboo. "
Wonders to himself whether his room mates know that if you type "define: xxxxxxxx" into Google it returns lots of definitions of whatever xxxxxxxx is?
Reflects inwardly on how cool that is...
