I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
tommy, sorry for how hard things have been for you lately.
Things have been fucked up for a long time here.
I've wondered. Police don't get up one morning and say, lookit all this riot gear, let's institute martial law! Seems like something bad had to be going on for a while to come to a head like this.

'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"
Clay [the governor] said that he has been urging U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to “take over the entire situation because we will not get justice for Michael Brown and his family and friends if the St. Louis County police and prosecutor have a say.”
That's worth a couple of Whoas.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm sorry, tommyrot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Today for lunch I'm gong to ignore my diet and get strawberry waffles at Walker Bros. Original Pancake House for lunch. (I have off tomorrow so today is like Friday to me.)

Our wings are not tired.
Good plan, tommy. I'm sorry that you are going through so much right now.

I approve of this lunch plan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tommy, that's a lot to deal with. I totally condone the ignoration of the diet in the short term.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so sorry, tommy. That's a brutal lot of emotional weight to carry at once. Strawberry waffles sounds like a perfectly reasonable response.

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, I expect the various tests will show I've been ignoring anything good I should be doing. I plan to say, "The last three months don't count, let's reconvene this discussion in November."
I so hope I don't have to tell them the news, they were his doctors too, I'm hoping word has spread. I'm tired of telling people who don't know.
