Question for those familiar with French: In Moliere's play Les Femmes Savantes, is the correct spelling "savantes" or "sauvantes"? It's spelled two different ways in the document I'm adapting.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
savantes.

Such cute wee states.
Maine may be smaller (not sure where you are Cass), but it's not small. Empty, but not small.
A lot of those New Englanders are in Boston, where if you drive ten minutes you end up in the afterlife.
See, I don't know why people go nuts over Nascar, when you could film Storrow Drive or Route 128 aka (sometimes) 95 aka (sometimes) 93. You get almost as many crashes and it looks a hell of a lot more challenging than Roundy-round.
Although that said, getting onto Storrow isn't quite the competitive sport it used to be since they got rid of the 5-lane crossover over 1000 yards coming from the North that you used to have to do.

What is even happening?
Ah, the good old days, Frank.
(Cass, and Matt, I thought you were both funny. Also? Right.)

My reply was completely meant to be humorous too, cass. Sadly not much of an exaggeration, but funny nonetheless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am so dizzy. Just finished a sodomy discussion with the parents (rarely has the phrase "no, I'm not going into details" been used so often, and with such vehemence on my part).
However, it was my understanding that there are states in which sodomy is illegal, and homosexuality is not. But I'm drowning in google semantics -- I was thinking sodomy as in anal sex, gender irrelevant, but the dictionary (I understood) is a lot looser, and a site like sodomylaws.org equates sodomy with homosexuality (including female).
There are states where anal sex is illegal, right? How can I find out which ones?

Oh yeah, I totally got you were both being funny (and gently teasing on the size-of-states issue - hey, size doesn't matter).

The recent Supreme Court ruling declared all such laws unconstitutional, if I'm not mistaken.
