I can't fight it. I always want to put an "Electric Bugaloo" after anything "2".

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

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

I like this version.

Would this mean that posts would be comma-ed?
