Stumptown.

I'm whipping out my pincers! Thanks for this laugh!

I'd also put Gone Girl in this overhyped/poorly written category of contemporary books.

Thank you! In a courtroom this would be leading a witness. Way to look for a connection WHEN THERE ISN'T ONE.

I'm out of breath!

Well done, Mrs. Fletcher! You cracked the case!

I am okay with snark. But keep the name calling to yourself.

If those on Jez did their homework instead of these childish knee-jerk reactions regarding Hugo, they would see a man who fucked up Big Time.

Dear Ex,

Indeed! Any wintry herb works: thyme, rosemary, sage.
