I look more rad than Lutheranism

It's just about impossible not to be paranoid about that, but I think 99.999999999...% of the time, that's just quirky random timing.

Oh, I'm sure it's just random, Sean.

whispers behind hand to Teppy, "Threadkiller in da house!"

You aren't supposed to let him know!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You aren't supposed to let him know!

Pffft. Well, now he knows. Clearly, I was whispering in italics and here you go with a normally weighted font. Why don't you just bold it next time.

Your italics are not as discreet as you think they are....

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Or an elderly Dutchwoman.

So you say.

Except, people have now met you so I guess we have verifiable proof.

Did you try pulling her face off, ala Scooby and Old Mr. Witherspoon?

"And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those pesky Buffistas!"

You know, we've spent five years trying to convince Holli's parents we're not axe-murderers and all it takes is one little "Let's pull her face off!" from MM to waste it all.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Well, you could ask Trudy, Hil, meara or SA if I'm real, Dutch, Inuit, elderly or otherwise.

...Unless they're all my sockpuppets. Or I'm a sockpuppet. Or I'm an extremely sophisticated computer program-slash-hologram.

Also, I might fight crime. I'm mysterious like that.

Thanks for all the fish.

real, Dutch, Inuit, elderly or otherwise.

I enjoy that these appear to be mutually exclusive states of being.

Your italics are not as discreet as you think they are....

You're supposed to whisper in small font.

Or I'm an extremely sophisticated computer program-slash-hologram.

...which somebody has gone to considerable effort to render in such a manner that it still looks like a sockpuppet.
