And now, a brief excerpt from the movie _Natural Born Threadkillers_: Wayne: So, in your opinion Hal Briston and harmless are not insane? Dr. Rheinghold: Insane, no. Psychotic, yes. A menace to living creatures, yes. But to suggest that they’re insane gives the impression that they don’t know right from wrong. Hal Briston and harmless know the difference between right and wrong. They just don’t give a damn. ---

1. No, **kitten** you don’t have to cook. 2. Pepto will not be needed at all (because I’m a complete pussyboy when it comes to Mexican and I only eat the wussiest stuff they serve :o ) 3. The air freshener is _always_ within reach at home. Because of the cats. Yeah…that’s why…the cats. 😛 ---
