SK: Some girl’s face convinces you to throw milk at a wall – is portraiture happening?
J.D. Nelson: Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
SK: A toilet accuses you of molestation – did you get your hysterectomy at Toys R Us?
J.D. Nelson: The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
SK: A dog bites its own tail until gangrene sets in – is this how you make love?
J.D. Nelson: As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
SK: Your lover has an affair with your favorite assault rifle – do you announce your candidacy for president?
J.D. Nelson: My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
SK: Oh, a barking dog wrecked your good intentions – why is it that you prefer insecticide to all your pretty friends?

J.D. Nelson: But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.
SK: You are being chased by people with accordions – do you want to be caught?
J.D. Nelson: Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
SK: Why do you make a habit of corners and excuse your tardiness with lewd photography?
J.D. Nelson: Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.

SK: What recommends invalidating time with stochastic hotness?
J.D. Nelson: They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
SK: How has nanotechnology revolutionized the enema?
J.D. Nelson: Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
SK: Who bleeds first: the air or the vocalist in front of the air?
J.D. Nelson: Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
SK: Had you lain with schools of thought, courting purposeful delusion? Did you then administer electricity to improve sub-atomic structure by testing weight?
J.D. Nelson: And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
SK: Who pants good slither?

SK: Is your behavior full of band aids?
