Alka Helter Skelter Seltzer 2: Another Perfectly Reasonable Series of New Year’s Resolutions

All the items on my last list of resolutions were dispatched with alacrity. So I thought I’d do it again, serving as an inspiration to the lesser among you in terms of spiritual strength and will power. You’re welcome.

1. Appear three-dimensional
2. Pass as white
3. Hunt the most dangerous prey of all . . .  man!
4. Employ the Power of Mental Thinking
5. Fluoresce
