Pray, continue.

I tell you when BB becomes Lord Crown Prosecutor For Life you guys will pay for this.

Are you saying there will be consequences?

BB will not stop until he is content.
He'll have a conniption.

Okay, that's enough.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

That's because you are still conniving to protect your conspiracy.

Sav used to make doodles about his cousin. He called them "Comic Con".

What if the guy had a million to spend and he fixes the window, buys the shoes, and gives the rest to me?  Ever thing about that one, Mr. Smarty Pants?
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
