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 knew six of them. So I correctly guessed half of the remainder.

5/10. Most of the ones I got right I knew.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I was 100% certain about Squanto, Manhattan, Eskimo, Columbus and TJ and JA. The rest were educated guesses. The Thomas Crapper thing always sounded too good to be true, and the mud slinging sounded too good NOT to be true.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

9 out of 10. I missed the mud-throwing. I guessed on that one and the beer and the lake. Apparently I'm either not very gullible, or overly suspicious and paranoid.

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

I'm having an awful day. I think Shrift sent me her usual workday. WHY?

They're made of meat.

I think that's been posted her before (surprise, surprise), but I for one am always happy to read it again. The first time had me laughing so hard I got all light-headed from lack of oxygen.

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

If it's the one I remember, it kind of creeps me out a bit too.

I thought I was getting a little better. Sure, had the dry cough that usually trails a cold and makes it hard to keep anything down. But NOOOOO... There is a snotworm covered in sandpaper crawling around inside my face.

Allyson, may tomorrow be unshriftdaylike.
