Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Wasn't he also the one who screened Birth of a Nation on the lawn?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't read the stamp on the article at first, but the stamp on google. Who promptly threw it out. Completely unconfused now.

OMG I am dumb! It was Wilson, which I remembered after seeing the dates. I should have known that- and apparently did, but forgot. GAH! Dumb dumb dumb.
