[The Illuminated Ones]

Well with Deagle every day is Doomsday, he's like Ed Dames on speed.

How anyone could take him seriolusly is utterly beyond me.

As for David, the word 'Aspergers' comes to mind:

"Pursuit of specific and narrow areas of interest is one of the most striking features of AS.[1] Individuals with AS may collect volumes of detailed information on a relatively narrow topic such as dinosaurs or deep fat fryers, without necessarily having genuine understanding of the broader topic.[1][5] For example, a child might memorize camera model numbers while caring little about photography.[1] This behavior is usually apparent by grade school, typically age 5 or 6 in the United States.[1] Although these special interests may change from time to time, they typically become more unusual and narrowly focused, and often dominate social interaction so much that the entire family may become immersed. Because topics such as dinosaurs often capture the interest of children, this symptom may go unrecognized.[5]"

-- From Wikipedia.

In that call with K he just free associates about his dinosaurs on and on. I wonder if he just babbles on like that, picks the phone up, carries on babbling for half an hour, puts the phone down and carries on babbling... Ad infinitum..

No conversation, no exchange of ideas...

When K does get a word in, Dave gets very grumpy.

If I were you, I would sleep in late on the 7th, and maybe go out for lunch.
