If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Lacking wine, I think I'ma have some whisky. I want Ponche, but I don't want to drink it when I'm not going to appreciate it, since it's irreplaceable sans a trip to Europe.

'Course, there's also the option of FEEL GOOD LADIES DRINK, brought from China by my brother. According to the bottle:

Feel the series of wines for ladies. Is very popular and fashionable nowdays is specially in the Europe most of famales today fancy it, because it bring the feeling of your own modern life. Made by Qinhuangdao Cupid Winery.

I mean, feeling of my own modern life? Can I pass that up?

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

I can't imagine Tom Cruise as the norm in any situation.

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

Trudy, if you reread my post, you'll see I didn't call you naive. I wasn't referring to you as a person, but your opinion on this one matter.

While rereading my post you'll also note I didn't call setups of the paparazzis rare.

Uh huh. They're not the patsies in this little game.

I have no idea what that means.

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

I don't think you're generally naive either, but on this you seem to be.

The "uh huh" is that I agree. The paparazzi aren't patsies. The public are.

Fair enough. But I never called you names, and I want that to be clear. You went there, not me.

ita, I kind of took it the way Trudy did. Not arguing what you meant, but how it read to me.

I really thought you had and intended to respond in kind.

So, you know, if you didn't I didn't either. SInce I was trying to be in-kind.

Alright, my Grandmother might be dying. I need to just stop this conversationn ow.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I mean, feeling of my own modern life? Can I pass that up?

Er, well, if it's anything like the Chinese "champagne" I had in China, I'd say pass. Unless, that is, you have a taste for Dimetapp.

That interests me. Because I described a stance--why does that look like I'm branding the person? How would one better phrase that without over-defending and losing the point?

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, Trudy.
