I expect that they’d try to make something out of my habit of masturbating in public places.  
That and my refusal to use toilet paper or shower.

The media can be right bastards sometimes.

Scum !

All of them !

I’m a surly atheist on drugs with a psychotic child (my fault) with access to a high security data center, and I know how to shoot a gun. I worked in a missile factory and have been an active Trotskyist. My ex is an insane Vietnam vet postal worker.

_Enforced work on horror films clearly desensitised her.  
And then these edged weapons were found scattered at her home: [http://www.ledgecentral.com/Images/which.jpg](http://www.ledgecentral.com/Images/which.jpg)  
Clearly her inability to tell the difference between reality and imagination prevailed._

So does my puppet. I think he’s more popular than me.
