When I worked at my dad's office one summer, there was a medical report on a claimant saying, "Patient suffered cardiac arrest and sudden death. This was particularly serious considering patient's history of cardiac arrest and sudden death."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

move out and draw fire
Or, probably, it's already been done.
Yeah, it has. Not to my satisfaction, so I think there's room for a Buffista business plan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who here doesn't know what "fapping" means?
I'm not dirty, am I? Just...informed, right?

I have my suspicions, but have never sought out confirmation.
Have a community meeting tonight. Kinda don't wanna go, but feel I need to stay informed.

'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"
I doubt that Rick's "theoretical" death announcement would have occasioned many accusations of sock-puppet pseudicide, especially since it wouldn't take much Googling to establish a male of his approximate age, occupation, location et cetera died. In fact, there would probably have been links to obituaries and places to send flowers or donations. You know, all the real stuff that happens when real people pass.
I had my doubts about Gus from fairly early on, but so far as I could see he was benign (little did I know about broken promises) and very much I could be wrong, anyway.
In the end, it was the pseudicide that did the most emotional damage. If he'd just faded away, it would have been kinder -- in response to the friendliness he'd been shown by this community, he repaid it with mean-spirited selfish stir-causing.

Because books.
I know I've heard the term, but I can't say off the top of my head what it is.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Well? We're waiting.

That's a great link of flea's. My favourite quote:
Eversion of the 20 cm muscovy duck penis is explosive, taking an average of 0.36 sec, and achieving a maximum velocity of 1.6 m sec−1.
Turbo penis!

OMG, I feel filthy.
I thought everybody knew.
It's 'net for wanking.
Okay, I have to leave now, to be sure I get to my sleep psychologist appointment on time. I could barely look forward to this less.

That is truly shocking Billytea.
I think I was bit by the world's tiniest vampire today. I walked into the bathroom at work and there was blood on my neck. I wiped it away to find a tiny puncture. I hope someone will contact you all if I become undead.
