Dear tommyrot,
Your many friends are beginning to worry about you in regard to this obsession with mouse-snuffing.
Sincerely,
Your Many Friends
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Dear Gus,
Your many friends are beginning to worry about you in regard to this obsession with referring to yourself in the third person plural.
Sincerely,
Your Many... D'oh!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, dude! Book. Is. A. Hit! No less than 5 people hve told me "I must have this!" Those weren't even the people I was pimping to.
Sweet! My new marketing plan: buy a copy for Daisy's DH's bar to leave at the counter. Replicate in cool music bars across the country.
My Dad chopped a rat in half with a shovel. Fully bisected.

It's the non-linear thinking with the pen that made me think he was artistic. One of the friends I'm thinking of went to the Art Institute, so maybe it's a Chicago thing*. And I was going to say that I'm unaware of him killing any mice, but then I remembered that he had a pet boa for a while.
*They strangle one of your mice with a pen, you beat one of their mice with a hammer. That's the Chicago way.

Dear Emily,
I am not tommyrot's (plural) friends. I am his friend.
Furthermore, "Gus" is not the plural of anything.
Sincerely,
Your Many Admirers.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
My Dad chopped a rat in half with a shovel. Fully bisected.
I have to ask - width or length?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have to ask - width or length?
Heh. Now I'm curious too.
My dad would occasionally shoot things (bats, a snake, etc) but that was about it. Come to think of it, there were rarely any rodents on the farm, as we usually had a population of 5-10 barn cats.

OK, ew. To all of it. Though I'm glad Emily got rid of her rodent problem. I think ita's mother's method is my favorite, though I doubt I could pull it off.

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
Furthermore, "Gus" is not the plural of anything.
Well, not unless there is such a thing as a "gu".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have to ask - width or length?
Width. Had the rat pinned down with a shovel. Called out to the next door neighbor, "Is this your daughter's guinea pig?" Neighbor came over, looked over the fence and said, "Guinea pigs don't have hairless tails."
