That makes sense. Plus, maybe he could take Jaime's gold hand as consolation payment when he pulls Jaime out of the baptismal waters. But I'm just going full Zapruder on the footage and weirded out that Jaime's savior is not shown in the impact or the water — not even for a split second.

A group shaming that kind of person for not sharing its vernacular and expected protocol is a different version of the same exclusivity that creates…

Oh, come on. How's Easy-E going to go to college on the East Coast? Way off-brand, unless mayyyybe it's in Cleveland.

Slash's in "November Rain." Is it even a guitar solo if you don't have a helicopter??
