I’m loving that this thread has essentially split into two, and that dispersed between a fight about symbolism in literature, there are periodic musings on how and if one could purchase human remains.

“underscore[s] her entitlement” It can’t do that if it isn’t an example of entitlement, if it isn’t an entitled act.

All our sex slaves are mostly 4s. So.

A Møøse once bit my sister... No realli!

three cheers for the monty python reference. well played.

This is what happens when the rest of Washington is on Easter Recess and your interns would rather be getting drunk and laid in Ibiza.

If you’re a six in Europe then times that by 2, plus 32....so in America you’re a 44!
