I know more than one person who has had their (expensive) cutlery ruined by the guy in the knife sharpening truck.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We get our knives sharpened here: [link] Which is great, since they do a great job and while you wait you can hold a sword for "Pirates of the Carribean V" or some other epic.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have one of these. And pretty straightforward not very expensive knives.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why did they want the opinion of a 19 year old teenaged boy, and not you?
Not entirely sure. But the automated voice asked for the youngest adult male in the household, so whatever.
Scrappy, that's perfect! I'm sure he can tell me which of my weapons will hold an edge and which won't. I've been looking for a guy like that for a long time now.

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

That sounds so ominous!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
right?
sounds like motive in a mystery novel.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
My stainless Chicago cutlery has a sharpener in the knife block. Set so that I can't really do it particularly wrong.
Also. What is wrong with my ear? It seems like I have water in it, but it started the day after I showered, not the day of. It makes me want to take a bath to submerge my ears as if doing it backward would clear it. Okay, I probably just want to take a bath. But still.
I am so tired, y'all. I don't know how to shake it. And I have so much shit to do, but I cannot make myself do it. I just want to go to bed.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
