...she, bewildered, stuck them into a pot of boiling water. The experiment was abandoned when she lifted the lid of the pot to check on progress.. and discovered all of the snails clinging to the underside of the lid for dear life...

True and often-shared family anecdote. /2

Heh. Beat me to that one.

Those ears are truly epic.

Nicely spaced weigh-ins. But Rooklet and Tali are still growing and filling out, are they not?

And I mean look, if you're going to pirate a book, there's not really anything I or anyone else can do to stop you from doing that. Whatever. You just can't expect everyone to pat you on the back and tell you what a good leftist you are for doing it.

As in, the car has a leak - in have stopgap measures in place but the forecast is for RAIN - I'm trying to get this dealt with as something of an emergency - but sure, let's prioritize changing out somebody's spark plugs over something that has the potential to expensively ruin a car, why don't we?

Good question.

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

Just got a copy of that. Look forward to it.
