Ceci n'est pas un Dan Goldstein.
Also, if we're talking L'Trimm, why no JJ Fad?
Lastly, while located in the UK, please locate Stephen Merchant and inform him we are to be wed.
deconstructionist par excellence. From
Derrida to the sitcoms you enjoy at
home Dan is there it take it apart piece
by piece and meld it all together with a
contemporary twist. Dr. Goldstein is
one smart cookie, but dont confuse him
for a pen.
testimonial for Dan! He is the following:
Ginchy, Knees (see under Bees),
Modest, Noble, Kind, Goofy. He is not
the following: Cruel, Stupid, Dull,
Boastful, my dad. I think very highly of
this Dan and it's not dependent on the
frequency with which I see him. It's a
lingering high feeling, and I think that's
better.
Food Societies. So you see, the whole
PhD is not just a title, the man is always
thinking! Way outside the starving actor
box! Brilliant. Once we pretended we
were English twins whose mum had
died and was living with the angels.
Which maybe is a little creepy in that
peverted Victorian way, granted, but we
came up with it on the way home from
drinking lots of Guinnes at the Burren in
Somerville, and it made the cold walk
home far more amusing.
dead. Dan, I told you that in confidence. Other than
this little problem, Dan's a great guy.
in tandem these last few years, accruing degrees
and finding audiences. We never traveled together
intentionally, we just found ourselves in the same
cities over and over again. These happy accidents
are, for me, the greatest gifts in the world as Dan is
one of the funniest, most brilliant and most loyal
friends that anyone could ever wish for. And even
though I ended that last sentence with a
preposition, Dan will never fault me for it. He'll see
it, and he'll tell me, but he'll never fault me. In fact,
he will later explain why I was such a genius for
"intentionally making the "mistake." But that's just
Danny. God love him.
intelligence initially led him to
create D.A.R.Y.L., he quickly realized
the error of his ways and scrapped that
cloying, precocious little shit for
spare cogs and transistors. Now Dan
devotes his time to developing computer
simulations of artificially-artifical
intelligence, hoping to discover why
the very idea of a child robot
(D.A.R.Y.L. -> Small Wonder -> A.I.)
still holds such an iron-clad grip on
the public's imagination.
ALL academics, just most academics.
testimonial for Dr. G? Well...I just
have no words. Really, I don't. He
likes to steal Nabokov quotes right off
the tip of my tongue. Sometimes he
steals quotes from John Hughes movies
from my brain. Not Goethe, though...he
still lets me have my Goethe.
