Martin drank a lot of milk. He rinsed an empty carton in the sink, threw it out and left his house. Half a block ahead of him dogs were smelling things left by other dogs. Martin wondered if dogs knew that the pee they smelled in his bushes was his pee. He wondered if it smelled like milk a little. A Toyota Corolla turned the corner without signalling and Martin crossed the street after it passed. He bought two cartons of milk which he would mix together. He bought whole milk and partly skimmed milk and he called it 2% Homo when he mixed them together. Most of the time Martin thought about what it would be like to have breasts but never in a sexual way; he wore a bra.

11/21/2005 Streifenbeuteldachs (3): Can't quite get behind this to the tune of a four-five.
11/23/2005 TheBuyer: No, this is like the old times. Before you were German.
12/9/2005 scoop (4): This one is weird, but subtle. Nice use of breasts as an allegory to talk about the war.
