That Silence of the Lambs bit is genius.
Too bad he used the wrong "its."
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Whoops. And usually I notice those, as that's a peeve of mine.

It could be part of the lesson: "See, children, if you don't use good grammar, you'll become a serial killer."

Always Anti-fascist!
From a while ago, Aims, I like "Word Wars", I especially find it amusing that, in addition to the "mama's basement" type dudes you might expect, one was vaguely cornerboy, from West Baltimore. It also amused me that several aggrieved mothers complained about his language and talking about chronic, but thanks to my other fannish interests, I barely noticed. I think I might be what's wrong with America or something. Hec, I like Cheech and Chong. No shame in that game. You could always be stuck with the friggin' Disability Experience in America, which from here, is beginning to feel like that procedural cliche of "hours of boredom, enlivened by moments of terror"

“Not dead yet!”
The other Barbara I've come across who has my maiden name has a Ph.D., MPH, & an M.Ed., so I feel fairly slacktastic in comparison.
The other Barbara who shares my married name is a children's book illustrator.
I don't get any other Caridads with either permutation, but another Caridad who is also an author once threatened to sue me to get me to stop using the name as my pen name because she was "building a brand around the name" and I was clearly trying to poach her readers and territory. Never mind that she writes adult paranormal and romantic suspense and I... don't.
It was just bad luck that we shared the same agent at the time.

Nobody else has my full name. Which makes google awkward. Cause it's all me.

okay, re CM, I wasn't quite clear (but it was late and I'd come from a belated birthday dinner with lots of wine) Did the old guy know what was going on? Was his "price of admission" fixing the freezer? Or was he just a dumbass who knew that something was wrong, but didn't bother to do anything about it? I was kind of confused.

“Not dead yet!”
He knew, Vortex. He was a special kind of whackjob who I think liked seeing the aftermath, rather than the execution. At least, that was the impression I was left with.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I haven't googled my name lately, but in the past, I've shared my name with a TV clown in Iowa. Who died about 20 years ago.
