Thanks again!
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Susan, I haven't been slapped or punched since I was a teenager, but based on the last fight I fought, I'd think her cheek might buzz, sting, and later burn. If her mouth was open, she would have cut her inner cheek on her teeth. Depending on how hard she was hit, she might feel dizzy from the impact, but she would probably be feeling sort of heightened awareness (and maybe a bit woozy) from the rush of adrenaline.

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

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
brenda and ita, click on the link again and look at the upper right hand corner. The picture and the entry do not match.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh. I assumed that was a picture of him as a young(er) man in some German church get-up. Who is it really?
Edit: Never mind, it's a Star Wars joke.

The Emperor Palpatine, from the Dark Side of the Force. Vader's patron in the pursuit of evil-tude.
edit: a lovely x-post among 2 of the Buffista brides-to-be. That's good company.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Chancelor Palpatine, when not in the form of Darth Sidious.
eta: Large dark-side x-post, of course. I had to google to find the spelling of Sidious.

Now tagless for your comfort.
What I hate is that the very question of access to guns has turned into such a divisive political issue for so many Americans. It seems to me that the Democrats could have found a way to present mandatory background checks in such a way as to reassure the vast majority of gun owners that their access to owning weapons was not being threatened. However, the right has done an amazing job in taking a single, relatively unimportant issue and using it to sway people who no other reason to vote for them.
Yeah, how hard is it to basically say, "we don't want bad people to have guns"? I find the same cock-up in the arguments between pro-choice/pro-life. Why can't the pro-choice side find a better way to say, "we ALL want FEWER abortions"? Seems like a severe breakdown in communication in people that basically want to achieve the same ends--just by far different means.
