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?
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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

"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. "

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
