Sad story. So much wrongness.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So, um, we could make wars to send the young men off to so that the old men can get into heaven, bowm chikka bowm bowm?
Yeah. Wrod on the wrongness.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
"If you have a son or daughter in your home, and their behavior got worse and worse and they defied you, wouldn't you want them to leave?"
Um... no? I mean, nice try, mister, I get that you're trying to say all these teenage boys were frightful delinquents who couldn't be helped, but you fail.
ETA: It's not that anything would make his take more convincing, but do they think no one's noticed that it's just the boys?
Well, they probably thought it would play better in Peoria than "If you have a son or daughter in your home, and their behavior got worse and worse and they defied you, and they'd finally sprouted boobs wouldn't you want them to marry one of your eighty-six uncles?"

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

In some polygamous communities, the mothers don't say who the father is just for that reason. It helps with the welfare system, too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have a pharmacological type question. At some point in the not to distant future, I am going to run out of my Claratin D 12 hour, but I still have a buttload of just plan Claratin, 24 hour I'd like to use up. Is it safe to use it with an OTC decongestant when one is needed?
