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

Please don't say "Like Girls Gone Wild?" in a hushed tone on your work phone. It's creepy.

Is this the same cow-orker who considers his life an open book, and shares it with you on a daily basis?

I, also, have the same gift. The last time I swung a baseball bat I wrenched my back enough to necessitate 6 months of PT.

What scares me is that I have seen the hearts of Seattleites, and they are blacker than black. Sure, they act all nice, but they're petty, arrogant, passive-aggressive thugs when pushed.

Huh. You really think so?

Or, y'know, What Plei Said.

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

See? Another 50 points for Seattle.

Although I probably float better than the less than 1% body fat LA supermodels I see in the Coffee Bean, so if it all floods, I'll be the beauty standard.

Hm.

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

I feel confident in my bat handling skills. And I'd like a little more reach than a hammer can afford.

Nope, I did not feel piled-upon. I clapped my hands with glee and took notes.

What is even happening?

See, I want the knife on account of no reach, no aim, sucky large coordination, yet fantastic small coordination. It's my last ditch effort. I know what ita says is true, I think it's my only hope.

If I only had a brain...

The information on the looting by police was on the Times-Picayune page, but it seems to have scrolled off (or been deleted) by now.

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

Stab them or cut them, Cindy? As far as I've been told, it's hard to kill someone with a stab to the belly -- it's why hari kiri-ers cut in three directions.

If you have no reach, then don't you want a weapon that gives you reach? Knife is good for no aim, but so is a bat.

Allyson already outlined what my survival plan is. In fact, I now want her to live near me so we can combine forces.
