The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy. Does it give up its dead other times? ---

If it does they are probably well preserved 'cause that lake is always cold on the surface. I imagine the non-briny deeps are cold enough to keep 'em fresh. ---

While I am enjoying the puns and the tongue-in-cheek “advice” in the posts above, can we direct our attention to the actual killing for a moment? What else do we know about the poor victim? ---

I’d misunderstood the article as them asking for help because they had killed someone, not that they were asking for help because they’d killed someone _and was trying to cover it up_. Does that make sense? The first wasn’t dumb but the second certainly was dumb. ---

Does it, though? Here in the US, I get involved in some variation of that conversation on a regular basis (admittedly, much less than in the past - hey, we’re making progress!). The only thing missing is “How long have you been here? Your English is really good”, as though it were some sort of compliment to be told you speak your birth language fluently. ---

I remember Aziz Ansari talking about being asked “where are you from” and how people didn’t accept “South Carolina” as the correct answer that it is. (He we born and raised there.) ---
