You'd think. But no, you turned on us for mere citrus.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have a dream! A dream where I get what I want and Scrappy is disappointed. I may not get there with you....No wait! I did.

Clementines are not mere citrus! They are...they are...juicy! I had one for lunch in honor of the new thread. Now, I'm all sad. Crying over my clementine.

That's why it was a good name--movies, American folksong, fruit--a PLETHORA of references.

Well don't take Hec's crack-smoking word for it! Me, I was referring to the gawdawful folk song. But see, that's the beauty of the thread title. It works on so many levels.

Honestly, the Pynchon novela is almost unreadably bad. If it hadn't been on the midterm, I totally would have skipped it.
