Archives remastered and brought to you with new exciting commentary from strange listeners such

Hello, you beautiful creatures it's Jen

Consider me a weird drabble babysitter for the moment. I'm not as funny as norm

But I promise to make you box mac and cheese while you listen and I'll at least try to act

normal while I ask you pointed questions about your basement. Why would I ask you

pointed questions about your basement? Look over there Jimmy, it's a story. Eat your mac and cheese. Today we've got the

brilliant Alya Whiteley's Go Beep for you. This story originally aired on the

Drabble cast back in 2010, and if you listen all the way through to the end, you get to hear Norm's musical creme brulet recipe.

The mind of a norm is a strange and wonderful place.

Without further ado, here's Go Beep by a Leah Whitely.

I'm a fan of Nirvana. I mean, I'm a fan of the band, rather than a fan of Nirvana. I mean I'm a fan of the band rather than a fan of the concept.

Although hey, what's not to like about the idea of being no longer subject to torture over

the fires of greed, hatred, and delusion, free from all suffering.

Yeah, that sounds pretty good.

But if I really wanted to be free of everything that makes us human, then I probably wouldn't

dig bands like nirvana anymore, and that would be bad. Then I wouldn't be me anymore. I have a lot of thoughts like this.

Mandy says I talk too much and she's right. She's right about everything.

I mean, she wouldn't be my girlfriend if she didn't have that mystical ability to put her

finger on the universe and say, hey, this is a work in progress, guys.
