Took a moment

I don't always get things straight off. Someone I follow on Twitter, in the process of shrugging off someone else's unpleasantness, said, "I'm polymerized tree sap."

(at first I was thinking, "resin? Amber? What?")

I suppose, though, the correct follow up to that would be something like, "And you are an alkalized by-product of casein."

(Update: apparently the original line comes from Big Bang Theory. People keep telling me I "need" to watch the show, but the few moments I've seen of it...I just can't get into it, because one of the characters is sufficiently off-putting to me. And looking up the original second part of the quotation...well, I like mine better.)
