    fuse, thanks for asking. I didn't get it either. Funny even after it's explained to me.

    Sounds like the making of a contest!

    Oh god. I read those bullet points you posted and nearly had an intercranial event. I'll send you the bill for the surgery in the mail.

The easiest way to distinguish them from the carnivorous creatures they mimic and shelter among for protection is to ask them to count to ten. If they say "One, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," you've cornered yourself a metrocon. Frum and Will are notable examples, and the largest specimen in captivity is Krauthammer.

    This "Independent" thing reaches far out into The Sticks as well.
    In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
