Okay, my interest is piqued.

Oh noes! I will miss her yet again! Have other obligation that will likely run well past 2 am. Drat the drat. Hug her for me, Gothkytten; I do miss her so.

I think I want to go.

Welcome! Oh, drat, where is that file... Here it is: drum roll*

Welcome, Glory! Good to see new faces on the board.

Sistaz from anotha mista?

Poor = federal poverty level. Yes, a tax hike on tanning. My source.

Yes. I read a little interview of him in a Sunday magazine insert in my paper. Apparently, he shopped around quite a bit looking for a church, even popped into my own denomination, but his (then) teenaged daughters thought the Mormons the most friendly, so he went with it.

Would that make you an insecure outlaw?

You forgot me in that list! The nice thing about liberal, homo, commie assholes is that at least we smile more.

"if you want my body and you think im sexy, come on sugar let me know." That song ruins my day every time I hear it.

Interesting video. Thanks.

Maybe it's that he can strike you provocatively with everything but the jacket? Works for me, anyway.

Actually, if you go back to Spammer, he said it first, but in different words.

Um, mud is made with water. I'm afraid of melting. What about, say, oil? Edit to add: oooh, ooh, no, I mean MILK.

^ Your link didn't match up with the article for me. Is this the story?

If I could, I'd offer you a Jell-O pudding pop. If the sun was shining and warm and I had a porch, I'd suggest we sit on it and eat them pudding pops and watch the bees rape the flowers. Feel better yet?

^ Oui. Je suis intéressé. (Yes, I used a translator.)

Yes, I thought the run on sentences might be intended to duplicate the mental state of your first-person narrator. In that case, I have only THREE suggestions: The second sentence of the fourth paragraph has an awkwardly placed parenthetical comment (sans parentheses). I recommend moving "for months" so that it immediately follows "and he's been telling me about this restaurant." Otherwise, it looks like the restaurant had "more stars than all the generals in "Dr. Strangelove" for that period of time. Spell 'equals' instead of using '=' in paragraph six, the third sentence. Your narrator very accurately, in the case of the knife, relays recently obtained culinary knowledge, but doesn't use any of the car jargon that supposedly confuses Larry. It would be more believable if she gets the name of the knife incorrect and employs a car analogy somewhere. I really like your story. I would like a link to the book. If you want someone to read it over, non-professionally (I have no credentials), I offer my services humbly. I proofread everything I read anyway. It's a compulsion of mine. PM me, if interested.

Yes, Spammer posted a link earlier in thread.

But the set-ups are different. It's apples and oranges. Now, if the French study had exactly duplicated the Milgram experiment and STILL obtained an 80% compliance result, THEN I might concede that we are getting worse (but not regressing--that suggests that at some point prior to the Milgram experiment, people were more free-acting; we have NO such evidence). What the experiment DID show is that people a) in large groups, and b) with the added "authority" of television or the expectation of a television audience, people are MORE likely (versus less) to comply with acts they find immoral than when they (like in the Milgram experiment) were sole actors with only the shock recipient and a single scientist in the room.

That's because we're sisters. Taste in cakes is genetic.

Thank you! I really like it. Nice start to an interesting piece of fiction. Where are you going with it? Is it finished somewhere else? I want more. [Psst....I have a couple of punctuation and sentence structure suggestions if you'd like them.]

^ I really like the last one.

Your T-Shirt Says That You're Smart People may not realize it first, but you're a total brainiac. You are downright brilliant. So much is going on in that head of yours at any time. You always have multiple streams of thought going. You are learned, and you have a well developed sense of humor about the world. You don't take anything too seriously. It's sometimes difficult for people to get your jokes though. You can be a bit esoteric and offbeat. The T-Shirt Test No, it doesn't. It just has a nice pair of lungs on it.
