Ah, bb. Would they but listen to you!
Of course, they won't. They can't afford to, you know. They have made their choices, made their beds and now they lie supporating in pools of cold sweat (that may just be the absolute worst metaphor I ever thought up, but I'll leave it, if only because it's so bad!). Real life, as you put it, would kill most of them off, post haste.
As in: If they had to get a real job, their *ss would be gr*ss? Hahahahahaha! But ain't it the truth, dear logos!
Maybe more later. But now, it's beddy-bye time. Good night, and God bless -- bb.
