"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You mean, you don't already?

Right?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Which ones is closer to the one's in your head

The one I had an issue with, apparently.

That should be a litmus test.

Seriously, Tim, what's up with all the, "I suck" shit? Do you need a hug? I could send someone to hug you.

There is a website for it, no?

You know, when Strega calls you mean, you've truly arrived.

Bah. It's too late to suck up now.

"Don' be e-scared"

But don't you ever come up with things where you're like, "I never would have thought of that if I'd done this on time!"? Or is that just my own special rationalization for doing things at the last minute?

Yeah. I've probably just burned bad work habits into my brain, but yeah. It does seem to come out best when I just vomit it. But that kind of vomiting is often just as unpleasant as the gastric kind. And twice as acidy.

You're done with that extended metaphor, right?

"Don' be e-scared"

Which ones is closer to the one's in your head, if my question makes any sort of sense?

It varies. I'd say "Out Of Gas," even though I moved some things around in the cut, came out pretty much the way I was seeing it in my head. So did "Are You Now..." and a few others. But the answer to your question is really that it's always changing, what's in your head I mean.

Seriously, Tim, what's up with all the, "I suck" shit? Do you need a hug? I could send someone to hug you.

Uh, nothing. And I don't hug.

I think I like that option best - how the story changes while it's being told.
