Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

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."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

On the upside, I'm not sure I've ever seen Bastet so happy.

All other toys will forever pale in comparison.

::Chu-SQUEAL-nk::

Okay, ew. That was a bit more evocative than I was prepared for.
