Jason is working on his novel. It's a thriller.

My electic leafblower is so quiet, I actually have to pump its sound into my ear buds for maximum enjoyment.

When I see a man drinking bourbon, I think—did this dude steal my bourbon?

So not one person onboard had something poisonous and/or carnivorous to throw at them?

It's people like YOU that drove the Leftorium out of business!

I'm really unclear on this whole notion of a thing you chose to do because it felt good at the time being your worst nightmare.
