I've just withdrawn my membership to the Socialist People's Party. All the good people left and it's now run by an incompetent newbie.

You went full fag.  Never go full fag.

I only do it in the privacy of my own home, precisely where cock sucking can be hidden.

And at a pack a day at $7.95 was enough cock sucking.

Holy moley.  That's twice what I pay.

You live in Marlboro Country.  Guess what, lobster's cheaper in Maine, too.

I'm thinking it is easier to mail Marlboros than lobsters.  :ph34r:

So whaddaya say?  You've got the brains, I've got the looks, let's make lots of money.

English language question: is there any special fancy word for a combined bed and living room (i.e. bedroom and living room are the same)?

Closest I can think of is Boudoir.
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

An other English question: the scotch Chivas Regal. Do you pronounce the "ch" as in lunch, or as in chemistry?

I read that book many years ago, and it mirrored my own thoughts, so I found it very compelling.

The counterpoint is equally interesting:

I really hope this guy screamed "No prison can hold me!" and then laughed maniacally as he sped away that last time.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
