I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I do think teenagers, while not necessarily stupid, commit more stupid acts based on the immaturity levels of their brains and lack of experience.

This is my thinking. You hope they survive to grow out of it. And if they do but don't, well, then...Stupid! Unfortunately, I think this encompasses far too many people.

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

I also think if HJO had been drunk or high, the press would have been all over it with speculation.

Since MSNBC also had a Daniel Baldwin crash story with no speculation, I am led to wonder.

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

Yeah, 4:12 wouldn't be nearly as good for the marketing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"A mass of jellyfish forced a Japanese nuclear power plant to slow part of its output this week after the slimy creatures blocked up the plant's seawater cooling system."

They fail to mention if the resultant giant mutant jellyfish can survive on land long enough to lay waste to Tokyo or not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Does your Pooh Casing extend beyond alcoholism?

No -- what I really meant was one bad driving incident wasn't necessarily an indication of a life-long struggle. Even if alcohol-related.

Anyway, even Drew Barrymore seems to have turned out OK in the end.

I think I read somewhere that the human brain isn't fully developed until around age 25--especially in areas of consequences and reckless behavior.

Yes!

runs off to have unprotected sex, get high and fight the establishment, or somesuch

I'm ready to issue a ban which would prohibit the average gentile from reading the Old Testament, without a proctor.

Anyway, even Drew Barrymore seems to have turned out OK in the end.

Which, given the family she came from, is frelling astonishing.

Then, yes, we have different Big Ps.

We're not at the end yet. Plenty of time for her to be caught doing lines of coke off of Paris Hilton's dirty underwear.

True, but look at this:

Now, son of man, take a clay tablet, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it. 2 Then lay siege to it: Erect siege works against it, build a ramp up to it, set up camps against it and put battering rams around it. 3 Then take an iron pan, place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward it. It will be under siege, and you shall besiege it

Too cool! It's biblical D&D!

See? Proctors are needed.
