I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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

I'm going to be on a Delta flight tomorrow, and I'm going to be so disappointed if this doesn't happen

That would make listening to the "smoking is not allowed" lady with her no-no finger waving totally worth it. Especially if I was stuffed up and couldn't smell the cute things.

818 words per minute.

I wonder if there's an equation to establish how much cute overcomes how much stink.

I tried to read slowly. I read some things twice.

You read 1,475 words per minute.
That makes you 490% faster than the national average.

(Got all questions right.)

I think that I read slower than I normally do, to make sure that I got all of the details. I was worried about the lemon yellow sky and whatnot.

Because books.

I was worried about the lemon yellow sky

And the people standing out black against it!

I got 394 or something. I purposely try not to skim anymore.

I was at 110% but I was making sure to look at all the words. I normally skim. I did get all the questions right, but I'm good at picking up details, so I think I handicapped myself.

My cousin sent me a bunch of pictures from the 1940s (she got all my aunt's albums, and my aunt was the keeper of that stuff.) I scanned the lot in tonight and transcribed any writing (including a winceworthy one) on them: [link] New ones are up to my dad's class photo.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

680 wpm, all 3 questions right, just slightly tipsy and not sure if that's a help or a hindrance.

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