Ah - wait, you've already answered that. So what kind of guy thinks “I have a daughter about your age” is an effective pickup line? Ah - wait, you’ve already answered that.

I certainly never aspired to growing up to be a debaser, but I'm also strangely subject to some oddball brain-mandated thoughts that have punctuated my life, however much they vex me. I considered mentioning the first conscious thought that accompanied my alarm-clock-prompted awakening for at least a couple of years, back when I lived in Princeton: "Welcome to the rat race." If I'd been more clever, I might have thought "What fresh hell is this?" when I heard the alarm blare, but a grudging, cynical acceptance of my unhappy life followed by unwelcome fantasies of eyeball slashage were the order of the day.

And a good thing too, I guess - eyeball slicing is really, really gross and I don't need to be contemplating it in the morning.
