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?

{{Corwood}} I am so sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is it to thematic to dress him in his onesie that says, "The animals went in two by two?"

I think it's required.

And really, a live minnow ontop of a mound of sushi rice -- now I am having grand fantasies of chasing your dinner all around the table, as it attempts to flop its way free and back into some body of water, possibly your water glass. Cheap entertainment!!)

I'm poking with a chopstick at a living breathing fish stick / Oh my god, I think it's trying to swim...

And Corwood, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine having expected this makes it any easier.

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

I'm so sorry, Corwood. Peace to your family.

Always Anti-fascist!

Aw, bunk. Good thoughts to the whole Industries clan(probably best not to mention that I plan to greet you one day by calling you an Austin cocksucker, though. Parents don't usually like that.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm so sorry, Corwood!

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

Corwood, I'm so sorry. It looks like he had "extra" time here to be happy.

So wait, divesting the sushi of its exoskeleton and/or scales, and applying a very sharp knife to its guts (I don't care what creature it is, I can't imagine it's sanitary to eat anybody's raw guts), is not enough to kill it?

Sushi isn't defined by the above, for starters. Lee and I have seen a lobster cut in half and the bottom half dressed as sushi served (I typed severed the first time) around the top half which was certainly not dead. Polgara and I saw something similar with some sort of fish. You eat it around it. We've seen crab served leg by leg as the source, so to speak, sat behind the counter still. We've seen a martini glass full of wriggling something, and other sorts of shellfish where they fry one end and serve it with the twitching other end.

It's an endlessly fascinating restaurant.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Coping~ma for Zenkitty & family.

Corwood, I'm so sorry for your loss. My sympathies to you and your family.

My condolences to your entire family, Corwood.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Thinking of you and your whole family, Corwood, particularly as it's going to be hardest for your parents.

I'm sitting outside on the patio, but thankfully my maple trees are still lush and green, so I can cling to summer by my fingernails for an hour or so here....
