You know what a Kardashian is, and don't mistake it for summat off Star Trek.

When you're no longer outraged by the fact that a simple doctors appointment takes several hours, as you're moved from one room to the next for no apparent reason.

When a car in change lanes RIGHT in front of you and the instinct to brake isn't there.

When you start to just stand in a bunch when waiting for the bus, instead of neatly queuing.

When you are silent for 30 seconds (just thinking about things) and wife storms in and shouts out "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, WHY ARE YOU JUST SITTING THERE??", and when you explain to her that you are just cogitating replies "I've never seen that before....WHAT ARE YOU REALLY DOING?".
Good grief.
Good grief.

Oh - I thought a Kardashian was a sort of 'anti-Tribble' - from a far it looks cute, but up close it's an ugly, nasty, vacuous, furry ball of putrefaction that tries to imitate any life form in its vicinity...
