Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Surely he was actually killed. It may be a point of allegation as to who did it, but death of soldiers is pretty well into the factual realm.

That always irks me. "The alleged killer..." Yeah, NSM. Maybe it was allegedly John Doe, but there was an actual killer.

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

"The alleged killer" doesn't ping, because it's being alleged that Doe is the one. "Allegedly killed", though... nrrghg.

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

I'm guessing they are thinking of "alleged murder" which is different from alleged killing.

Because books.

Yeah, it should be, "...was killed, allegedly by [whoever]..."

Grammar is a lost art.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

bon bon! How is your mouth?

Did you see that they have The State on the iTunes Store?

I'm still sporting half a Godfather mouth, but I'm not in any pain, whether via time or vicodin I don't know. Still on the liquid diet though.

You know, I bought an episode of the State and...it doesn't hold up that well.

Was it at least the pudding episode?

To my recollection, yeah. I mean, people haven't really seen the state since the early 90s, so I'm thinking our collective memories have softened.

I am having my wisdom teeth out next Tuesday. I am deep deep in the realm of "don' wanna."

At least I know how to operate a blender, though.
