Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There are more Kardashians than those three, Hil, for sure. There's a teenager that just started modelling. No, I don't know her name.

I still don't know what the hell a Kardashian is.

Bruce Jenner, the US's best decathlete of his period, married into the Kardashian family. That's why I've watched an episode of the show, and it was entirely not worth it, because they *never* discuss track and field. True story.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just googled (why) and she has reached her goal weight of 98 pounds. She really must be super short.

4'10" or 4'11", I think. I remember noting that she was about the same height as me.

The father was one of OJ's lawyers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Kim did a sex tape with Brandy's brother, and now the whole family makes their living on TV.

I just looked it up. The two younger ones are Jenners, not Kardashians. They're named Kendall and Kylie, though, so the mother kept up the naming scheme.

Our wings are not tired.

Wow, they all have K names! Huh, I knew about Kim and that they had a show because of the wedding stuff. I get a lot of my pop culture info from The Daily Show and Colbert. My morning news reads give help, but the best source of the news to know is the grocery store checkout line. Snooki and Kim make it to the tabloid covers regularly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

So the Kardashian claim to fame is totally based on one of their clan marrying Bruce Jenner? Well, at least it's a reason. I thought they just sort of showed up, out of a dimensional rift like a Great Old One.

No, it's the OJ-lawyer father plus the sex tape, honestly.

I think they first got famous because the daughters were friends with Paris Hilton.

I am the only person I know that cares about Bruce Jenner even a little bit. And he wasn't *that* good. Solid #3.

As far as I can tell it's all Kim's vagina, and not even the lawyer thing, but maybe I spend too much time on Gawker.

Huh, I've never known what made Kim Kardashian a celebrity. I guess I figured she was one of those people who had obtained transcendent fame and was famous for being famous.
