I don't get a reverse lookup or anything special with that, Tommy. Just a google of the numbers.

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

See, I already had to walk yards just to retrieve my shoes anyway....

Our wings are not tired.

Sorry you weren't able to dispense justice today Emily. Feel free to make judgments here to get it out of your system.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Maybe it is the Plague, shrift.
