Absolute Friends bristles with that outrage. It is the story of Ted, a tall, genial, impressionable Englishman, and Sasha, a tiny, misshapen, brilliant, fiercely idealistic German. The two men meet for the first time as fire-breathing anarchists in a counterculture commune in Berlin in the 1960s and, improbably, become fast friends. The book's rhythm is that of their chance meetings. Over the years, Ted drifts into life as a minor diplomat, and a decade later, he re-encounters Sasha at an official reception. Now an East German functionary, Sasha proposes an intelligence operationsmuggling state secrets to the West...
...Caddy / don’t want to meet your mamma, just want to make you cumma.” How can André, hornier than a tenth-grader, still be so damn charming? The music is so unexpected, and works so perfectly, that we lose ourselves entirely. The misshapen 22-bar chorus goes down like a spoonful of sugar...
...there are risks. Growth hormone is a natural substance produced by the pituitary gland, but taking more than your body makes on its own can cause problems. Athletes and body builders who buy HGH on the Internet to increase muscle mass have developed all sorts of strange abnormalities, from misshapen hands and faces to enlarged livers, kidneys and hearts.

The committee also warns that the treatments could...

Mild shouts of “What a bowl!” greet the instant replay. When something goes terribly awry, they tilt back their heads and make a disapproving yet dignified “tsk” sound, or place their heads in their hands while groaning or (when things get really rough) raise their arms at an oblique angle and flail their forefingers...
...Watson kept trying to do it by pairing like with like--an A attached to one backbone linked to an A on the other. Chemically, it would work. The bases were different enough in size and shape, though, that this scheme led to either a gap between bases or misshapen backbones. Worse yet, when Watson happened to show his idea to Jerry Donohue, an American crystallographer doing a stint at the Cavendish, Donohue informed him that the bases came in more than one chemical form. Watson was using the form prescribed in standard textbooks. But the textbooks, Donohue insisted, were...
