A 'Handsome Human!'...But...Look At Me Now!...My Momma...
...Don't Even Love Me...No Mo'!"...
“Doctor Winge…
...I’m Warning You!...
…Messing with People’s DNA…
..and Messing with this Blog…
…Don’t Do It!”
“The Evolution of Mother Nature…
…is always Correct!...
But…
…Our Scientists always want to ‘Fix Things!’…
With DNA, however, things aren’t so cut and dry,
and implemented changes in our chromosomes
may have unpredictable,
and
even 'Yucky'
results!...
Just look at the guy
at the Top Of The Blog!...
He Used to…
…Look Like
This!...
I hope You're
Listening!"
"Hey!...Welcome to the Show Today!
I Hope that Your Day is Great!”
“I really like My Second Life Artist/Creator!...And…
…When the Computers
are turned off,
and You’re not looking...
…I get to ‘Run Around’ and have Fun!"
“That Hollywood over there…
...Tell Me…
…Is it Because of
His Genes…
…or His Jeans?”
“And, Doctor Report!...
…I hope that You…
…Get the Picture!”
“Sure, Doctor…
...You can Help me
while I DJ the
Party Tonight,
but,
when the ‘Action Starts,’
I can Only Pay Attention…
…to ‘The Ones and Twos!’”
“No, Hollywood,
You can
keep on Swimming!...
…I’m just
getting My Feet Wet!”
“I’m Mother Nature’s Little Sister!...
and…
I just Love
“No!...
…Don’t Get any
'DNA Enhancements!'...
…You’re ‘Already
Too Much’ as it Is!”

With the Summer,
it's also time for
'Competitive Eating!'
...And yes!...
HSR tries
His Best!...
But...
He's just not
Built For That!...
So,
'What Went Down,'
May not necessarily
Stay Down!
Such is the Laws of Physics!...
...what with
all of that
'Up and Down Stuff!'
But...
as we take a Peek
into the Life of HSR,
like we do every week,
to feel sorry for all of the
Mischief and Mayhem that he may
start or just 'Stumble Into!'...
WELL,
THIS TIME
HE IS ACTUALLY BEHAVING HIMSELF
AS A STUDENT AT
USC DENTAL SCHOOL, AND
THE CLINIC IS BUSY AND
HUMMING ALONG, WITH
YOUNG DOCTORS TREATING PATIENTS
EVERYWHERE, AND
HSR IS FINISHING HIS PATIENT
AND AFTER THE PATIENT LEAVES
AND THE AREA IS CLEANED UP
ONE OF THE
ASSISTANTS SAYS.
"WELL, IT'S TIME FOR LUNCH NOW...
I'LL SE YOU
IN AN HOUR!"
"OKAY," RESPONDS HSR...
WHO IS A LITTLE TIRED,
AND HE
DECIDES TO JUST LAY IN
THE DENTAL
CHAIR A WHILE,
BUT...
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY,
HIS CONSCIOUS MIND
IS
'SWITCHED OFF!'
AND HE IS
NOW
AT THE
MERCY OF THE
'MYSTERIOUS
AND UNPREDICTABLE
DARK MATTER OF THE
SUBCONSCIOUS MIND!'
AND LATELY,
THAT 'SAME MIND'
HAS BEEN THROWING
'CRAZY CURVEBALLS'
HIS WAY!
BUT HE STARTS OUT,
THIS TIME, THINKING...
NOT JUST ABOUT
SHIPS...
...BUT...
ABOUT...
...PIRATE
SHIPS!
THEN
HIS ATTENTION
GOES TO A
SPECIAL CASTLE
THAT HE HAS
NEVER
SEEN BEFORE
AND WHILE IN THERE
A WOMAN
SAYS TO HIM,
"FLEET COMMANDER REPORT,
THE AIR SHIP IS HERE
TO GIVE YOU A RIDE
TO THE PORT
FOR YOUR NEW SHIP!
AND...
...COME BACK AND
SEE ME
SOMETIMES, OKAY!"
"OKAY," SAYS HSR...
SO,
AN AIRSHIP
PULLS UP NEXT TO THE
'CASTLE'
AND HE JUMPS IN
AND THEY FINALLY GET TO A
'SHIP SUPERMARKET
IN THE
SKY!'
AND...
AS HE LOOKS AT
THE VARIOUS SHIPS, A
LADY SAILOR
COMES UP TO HIM
AND ASKS
HIM,
"HI THERE...SHALL I CALL YOU, 'CAPTAIN?'"
"HI THERE," RETURNS HSR, "SURE,
YOU CAN CALL ME CAPTAIN, BUT...
I DON'T HAVE A SHIP YET!...
AND THE LADY SAYS, " I CAN SHOW
YOU ONE THAT CAN DO
A LOT OF THINGS,
BUT,
OTHER PEOPLE ARE
LOOKING AT IT TOO,
SO,
YOU
MAY HAVE TO ACT QUICKLY!"
SO THEY WALK
TO THE PLACE
THAT HAS THE
'SUPERIOR SHIP'...
...AND ...
"BOY IS IT A BEAUTY!"
SCREAMS HSR!
MEANWHILE,
ANOTHER SAILOR,
OFF TO THE SIDE,
WHO CAN'T TAKE
THE SHIP,
GIVES HSR
'THE EYE!'
SO, NOW...
CAPTAIN HSR
TAKES POSSESSION OF
THE SHIP,
AND HE ASKS THE LADY IF SHE CAN
SAIL WITH HIM, AND
BE THE 'FIRST MATE!...
AND SHE SAYS,
"SURE, BUT...
I'D LIKE TO BRING A COUPLE
OF OTHER FOLKS TO
HELP YOU SAIL...
...AND...
I'D LIKE TO GET AN
'HONEST PERCENTAGE'
OF ANY GOLD AND
VALUABLES THAT WE FIND!"
"THAT ONLY SOUNDS FAIR!" SAY HSR.
AND AFTER A LITTLE WHILE
THE SHIP AND CREW ARE
READY TO SET SAIL!
AND BOY...DO
THEY LOOK
GOOD!
AND THEY CUT
A NICE FIGURE
ABOVE THE
CLOUDS!
BUT AS THEY LEAVE AN
ADMIRER
SEEMS TO BE SAD THAT
HE IS GONE FOR NOW!...
SO,
AFTER THEY SET SAIL,
EVERYTHING'S GOING
ALONG PRETTY NICELY,
AND ADMIRAL HSR
IS ENJOYING A
NICE MEAL IN
HIS SHIP'S OFFICE! AND
THE SHIP'S COOK
TELLS HSR THAT HE MISSES
HIS
'HOME TOWN,' AND THAT
ONE DAY,
HE WANTS HIS OWN
PIRATE
SHIP, TOO!
HOWEVER,
AFTER A WHILE,
A CREW MEMBER
SENSES THAT SOMETHING
IS UP!
NOW, SHE
ALERTS THE OTHER
CREW MEMBERS,
AND THEY SEE
AN ENEMY SHIP
ACROSS THE
WAY...
SO THEY...
GET 'READY
...TO RUMBLE!'
AND THEY GIVE IT
THEIR
'BEST SHOTS,'
AND EVENTUALLY
THE
ENEMY 'FLEES!!'
"CAPTAIN, ADMIRAL REPORT!"
SAYS THE
FIRST MATE, "WE RAN THEM
AWAY REAL GOOD SIR,
AND THE WORD WILL SPREAD THAT
WE ARE NOT
TO BE
'MESSED WITH!'...SIR,
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE
US TO SAIL?"
"LET'S HEAD...
...DUE WEST...LIKE
'THE WILD WILD WEST!'"
AND THAT...
THEY DO...!
HOWEVER...
JUST BEFORE SUNSET
A CREW MATE RUNS UP TO
CAPTAIN REPORT
AND ALERTS HIM,
CAPTAIN, THERE'S
A HOSTILE SHIP
APPROACHING
ON THE
STARBOARD BOW!"
"OH THE _____ NO!" SCREAMS
THE CAPTAIN!...
BUT THE FIRST MATE SAYS,
"IVE FOUGHT THEM BEFORE
AND I KNOW THAT
THEY CAN BE BEATEN!...BUT STILL...
WE MUST BE VALIANT!"
SO, OF COURSE,
THERE IS A 'CLASHING OF THE CREWS' AND
WHILE THEY
CLAIM THEIR VICTORY,
THE CAPTAIN THINKS ABOUT THE
GIRL
BACK HOME!....
BUT...
...JUST THEN...
"DOCTOR REPORT, YOU'VE BEEN
SLEEPING WAY
PAST LUNCH," SAYS
THE ASSISTANT,
"I WOKE YOU UP WHEN
YOU STARTED
MOVING TOO MUCH!
AND...
...I HOPE...
THAT...
...'IT WAS GOOD!'"
AND,
AS DR. REPORT
GOES BACK TO HIS
DENTAL SCHOOL CLINICAL WORK,
HE THINKS,
"YES!...IT WAS GOOD!"
“’Tit for Tat’ is not
the ‘Way To Go!’”
"Today looks like a
Good Day!"
says Doctor Winge, as he exits
into the
Fresh Air
of the
Morning!
And while on his way
to the Lab,
He says,
'Hello there!" to
a Woman,
who responds back,
"Hello there to You, too, Sir!...May I
tell You something, Sir?"
and Dr. Winge says,
"Sure...What's Up?"
And She says, "Please be
Careful and Mindful
of what You Do
Today...because...
some things,
cannot be Undone!"
And with that, the Lady
turns and walks away!
"Oooookaaaaay!"
smiles the Doctor as he
continues on His way
to the
Science Lab!
And,
once inside the building,
He sees a Colleague,
who says,
"Good to see You,
Doctor Winge!...Hey!... I hope that
Your CRISPR Experiment
goes well Today!"
"Thanks!...Me, too!" he returns..
Now,
He goes up to the Genetics
Experiments Section
and gets ready to 'Fiddle With' some DNA,
so that he can stop a disease
called
Amelogenisis
Imperfecta!
"Hi there, Doctor Winge!,"
says
this
Student!, "Is it okay to
watch you work a little?"
"Sure," says the Doctor...
"I'm doing some Genetic Manipulations
to try and correct
a debilitating Dental disorder
using a CRISPR technique!"
"And CRISPR stands for...?" she asks.
"It stands for Clustered Regularly
Interspaced Short
Palindromic Repeats!" smiles the Doctor, "I am going to
see about correcting some
parts of the DNA that have
been mutated
in the SLC24A4 and KLK4
genes, specifically...for now!"
"So," the Student says,
you are going to rearrange
some of the components on the
DNA Strand,
by removing
some parts
and adding others,
to hopefully
cure that Disease, Right?"
"Yes!...That's the basic idea!" laughs the
Doctor.
"Do You ever feel that,
You are 'Playing God,' or
acting like a
'Mad Scientist?'" asks the Student, "And
how do You
know that
it won't mess up something else
in the body?"
And the Doctor answers,
“There’s always a ‘Give and Take!’…
…So, with CRISPR,
what Improvements do You want to Genetically ‘Get,’…
...and…
what ‘Genetic Blessings’ will We need
to give up or give away,
to cure this, and other Disorders?...These are
really hard, Scientific and Ethical Questions to
answer!"
"You're right!," says the Student, "Some of my
friends
say that the changes
that it may bring,
may do more 'Harm
than Good!'...And
When You have the
Pure CRISPR Substance
in a Test Tube,
it looks like Drinkable Water…
...but…
Now, Doctor Winge says,
"We actually changed the
Nucleotide Base Arrangements
yesterday, and
now,
I am
injecting it
into a
Paid Volunteer!...Okay...
and let's see the
Modified Genes
enter into
the Multiplying Cells...Yes!...
...and now the Body
is reacting and responding to
the
CRISPER treatments!...Wow!..."
But...
...OMGosh!...Suddenly...
...Something doesn't seem to be right!
The patient is
having
serious and significant
'Conniptions!'...
...And...
the Computing and Monitoring Equipments
are
'Going Haywire!'...And...
...Oh No...
...the Patient is
having Problems
and
he's changing right
before
our
Eyes!
Then,
after a Minute or Two more...
the Test Subject
comes out of the 'Shadows!'...
and asks, "Which one of
you two is Doctor Winge?'...
And the Lady calmly says,
"Well...has your Body
finished changing?"
And the Test subject
blurts out,
"I'm changing one...
last...
...time...
right...now!...Aarrrggggg!...
I'm not Doctor Winge!,"
says
the Student!"

You’ll end up with…
