Quote #4
Pooning a bimbo box takes more skill than a ped would ever imagine, because of their very road-unworthiness, their congenital lack of steel or other ferrous matter for the MagnaPoon to bite down on. (4.13)
Hitching a ride on a soccer-mom-van is the mark of an accomplished skateboarder. As you might guess, this is a piece of cake for Y.T.
Quote #5
"Take the example of the bread-baking me. Once that me got into society, it was a self-sustaining piece of information: people who know how to bake bread will live better and be more apt to reproduce people who don't know how." (56.22)
All our fancy skills that we acquire in civilized life? Yeah, they're all just viruses, or memes, or whatever you wanna call them. It's kind of sobering to realize that no matter how awesome you are at doing something, you might just be acting as a host for that particular piece of information.
Quote #6
But if life were a mellow elementary school run by well-meaning education Ph.D.s, the Deliverator's report card would say: "Hiro is so bright and creative but needs to work harder on his cooperation skills." (1.11)
