I thought mime was money?
Are they offering a reward for each beret someone brings in?
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
ita, that sucks

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And the ketamine was disappointing.
Damn.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sorry, ita. I was hoping it was going to work for you.

“Not dead yet!”
Hivemind, more editing suggestion help?
Original passage:
With a quiet "Ciao," he touched his fingertips to his forehead in this salute move that was totally off the charts. But something about the expression in his eyes—the same one that brought to mind laughter—made me think he was completely aware just how cheesy the move was. And as he turned and jogged towards his field, I sat there fighting back giggles as I got my first clear look at the tat on his shoulder.
The Tasmanian Devil in a swirling tornado.
Taz, indeed. What a dork. Charming, but definitely a dork.

A possible proposed alternative from me:

I laughed, loud enough that Taz turned, jogging backwards for a few steps with a goofy grin on his face, like he knew exactly what I was laughing at and was happy to share the joke. Taz, indeed. What a dork. Charming, but definitely a dork.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Oh, ita. I keep hoping for a magic bullet.
I like the original best, Barb. It's the Tasmanian Devil. Of course she laughed.

Because books.
It comes down to which you like best, Barb. You're the author. Change it back if you don't like her edit.

I like the proposed alternative, fwtw.
