It becomes fake, and I don't like it.”
Samuel Fuller

“Fat tissue is the bamboo of human tissue. They're in abundance, replenishable and easily acquired.”
Adam Katz
“There's a very long transition for this species. Milk is easier to digest, especially compared to bamboo, and is more nutritious.”

“We used a piece of metal, five by nine feet, from our truck for the table. We used bamboo for the net, put the table on the barrels and played in the jungle.”
