I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Newer doesn't mean wronger. You can have another thing coming if you aren't thinking at all.

Besides, Judas Priest. Are you saying hard rock is not grammatically correct? shocking!

I would never say coming down the pipe. If that was what I wanted to say, I'd say it was in the pipeline.

You have zombie jaw too? WE ARE A MIGHTY ZOMBIE ARMY.

I seriously think the zombie bone graft is cool as hell.

-t, I recognize your tagline. I don't know how I feel about Dora and Tai hooking up. I kind of want Dora and Marten back together.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would never say coming down the pipe

Why? It's new, and you apparently like those fancy newfangled things, hmm??

I've never heard it as another *think* coming. The -k sound at the end of "think" and the hard -c at the beginning of "coming" just don't work for me. Clearly, it's "thing."

Pike is like turnpike, right?

Don't disagree with me; I am a damn zombie now and I will eat your brains.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I realize that most people didn't grow up where one of the major highways is almost always just called "The Pike," like I did. So coming down the pike just makes obvious sense in my head.
