Who do you think is being slammed in that article, bon? (IOW, no I don't think it sounds like a slam.)
The firm, who are made to appear as if they're seeking a million dollar payday for getting hundred dollar checks for battered immigrants.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The firm, who are made to appear as if they're seeking a million dollar payday for getting hundred-dollar checks for battered immigrants.
Yeah, that's kind of how I read it.
Then again, I read "suits" as clothing, not a legal proceeding.

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 read "battered" as cooking.
And "payday" as candy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You got a tape player, didn't you msbelle? Because I have a Walkman that I keep around only because it has a radio. (In case of power failures.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I'm working on a homework assignment and one of the questions is "What do people need to know in order to be a good reader?"
I have no idea how to articulate what I do when I read. So, I'm asking the hivemind. What are your thoughts? What do you need to know in order to be a good reader?

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
