What? Should I whitefont the mushy stuff? What?
Okay, fine. I'm all @@y.
WHATEV.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Allyson, you're the best student I never actually taught.
I mean, I know now that's the effect I want to have through teaching krav. I didn't know it then, and I had no idea I'd even had the effect. And I'm beyond happy I did. Go you.
As for thanking you, you know that I and my family will be thanking you in memoriam for three months of charity to a person with no surname. Not to mention the sheer youness of you.
Yeah, that probably should have been whitefonted too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I like the mushy. A little mush now and then is lovely and it's a good contrast--makes the snark snarkier.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, it means you know it's extra true.

The snark or the mush?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The snark or the mush?
That could be the title of your next book.

I think the consensus for the title of the book I'm working on now is "The Kid Behind the Counter Hates You."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
"The Kid Behind the Counter Hates You."
That's perfect. I know I hated most of my customers when working fast food/retail. Oh, yes. Yes I did.

Then you'll need to write a third, won't you?

Tim's biography, maybe. I need to grill his parents and brother, for that. You know, baby pictures and humiliating tales.
There's a bit in the story I just wrote for the new book that I think will make you weepy, ita.
