Survival of the Fittest

 (Surimi): Guys, Guys, Guys. Sotto. Vatchi. Jim's brain has been hijacked for dozens of years. When that alcoholic plane/brain crashed, his life, his brains, were splattered on the runway. The plane, obliterated. And Sotto, your comments about Jim's 'lists'? That's part of his brain's inventory. He's starting a new life. He's picking up the pieces. This is the deconstruction and reconstruction of a new life for him.

    Jim is Humpty Dumpty putting himself back together again. With the help of others who are like him. That's not irony. "One alcoholic helping another." That's survival of the fittest. Survival for all who band together against a common foe: Alcoholism.
