"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Points to bon! Yay!

Fill in the blank. Same person twice.

[________]: Well, I once had a girl scout leader who took a 9mm on all our hikes because she was scared of the bats in the woods, and no one could convince that they didn't at least have eggs (maybe they purchased them from spiders) to deposit in one's hair.

Matt: Ah, being led through the woods by a gun-toting moron. How reassuring.

[_________]: I liked her. She was a bit nuts, but very fun. She ended meetings with having one of the girls feed her husband's boa constrictor a live mouse, and instead of making Christmas tree ornaments, we made fireworks. Come the rapture, we were the troop to be in.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think this is a fun game, but anyone who can quickly tell me what the opposite of successor is in legal terms wins points from ME. It can't be progenitor, I don't think, b/c that implies genetics

Predecessor?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I guess Madrigal.

Predecessor is what I want! Thanks!

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

Bon, predecessor?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Madrigal. Has to be.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Points to bon and bt. It was our most missed Madrigal.

Le sigh. Next!

"I always hear that smokes are more addictive than heroin. But with heroin, you get health insurance carriers and work programs designed to give you 30 days of care and methadone and shit.
With smokes, people tell you to Hang Tough like New Kids on the Block and give you a lollipop. Fuckers. I want methadone and a stark white room in a clinic. Except instead of everyone sitting in a circle, smoking, and telling war stories, we all sit around a circle and shoot heroin and tell war stories. "
