Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I debated on that. I think you may be right, spellchecker didn't recognize it as a word, either.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Not sure why it triggered visual dissonance - maybe because we have two consonants surrounded by vowels? "es-to" is the way my eye breaks that, for balance.

So, I saw pres-torm.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

"Please revisit your politics," is my favorite, followed closely by "Add expletive for emphasis." Go ahead. Act surprised. Has anyone seen my muse? She seems to have pissed off.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

"Delete--no one cares" is one I could use from time to time.
