Oh, dear, and my first thought was "a good start."
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

I was perusing a letter from E.B. White on the wonder Letters of Note website. Such a delight to read really eloquent writing. I noticed something interesting: White ends is letter with "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my piece." I thought the phrase was "speak my peace", as in "saying what I need to say in order to have satisfaction and peace of mind," though I definitely can see the interpretation as "speak the piece of information that I want to communicate."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Huh. I always thought it was "speak my piece."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It is "speak my piece."
And congrats, Gud! That's awesome!
Going to go read Sox' interview!

I'll claim regionalism, then, instead of admitting I was wrong. Yay, parochialism!

Okay, I'm getting kinda excited about this.

Our wings are not tired.
That is wonderful news, Gud. Excitement is quite appropriate.
