Hello. That's not what I've heard described as "little death." Think "Big O"

That's OK: it is their only innocuous activity. That way at least till noon you are free from their evil and malice. Thus it is to be encouraged and promoted. If one could drive all of them into permanent lethargy - why, imagine the great progress we would be making then!

I have some QM theories about Teddy but I'm not gonna go there.

Whenever I eat a sardine and horseradish sandwich my brain disconnects from my body, and I don't need to go to sleep for the disconnection to take place.
Can I get my taxpayer grant now?
