Marco here, Daney. Exciting. That's the way I'd like to imagine I've 
sounded when talking occasionally over the years about the smug 
corruption and backstage politburo shenanigans of KZYX in particular and 
big-money radio in general. On a scale of Senator Larson, see above, to 
Barney Fife begging for access to the Mayberry police station's single 
bullet, say, I'm closer to Barney Fife in delivery, though. Maybe that's 
the problem. Maybe I should've been bellowing at the microphone and 
banging an encyclopedia on the table. Also it would help if my head were 
big and square instead of long and narrow, and if I had a great helmet 
of stiff white hair. But I notice when I'm brushing my teeth in the 
mirror that, though my facial hair is almost all gray-white now, from my 
ears up it's still dark. My grandmother died six years older than I am 
and her hair stayed dark the whole time. I take after her: my hands and 
eyes and physical build. Not the arthritis; her knuckles were the size 
of walnuts; mine merely hurt.

My grandfather looked a lot like an Italian version of Senator Larson, 
and he had that kind and color of hair; also he had one fascinating 
all-white eye, like Odin. Sometimes I wish. I think you can buy a 
costume part now to stick on your eyeball to make it look like that, but 
I really can't bring myself to touch my bare eyes for any purpose, so I 
wouldn't be able to use it anyway. If they finally come up with 
see-through wireless solar-powered video screens to put on your eyeballs 
and have it look like your head is full of fire, and if it's not 
prohibitively expensive, and if they solve the problem of infection, I'd 
/try/.
