The other was the OC recording of _Wildcat_.) ---

Unspecified external forces have brought me to a state of ill health or disrepair, and some unspecified person (or persons) has made statements to me that are entirely lacking in veracity, and the reason that I could have allowed a certain female with an unpleasant disposition to convert me into a simpleton is beyond my comprehension. ---

UUUUUGH! Posted in wrong thread. This one is my favorite threads ever, but that post was supposed to be on June rants. ## So to be fair, and to hopefully ressurect the best thread: It conclusively does not make a difference to me if you don’t participate this time. When I speak, you don’t hear what I’m saying, when you don’t speak it sounds so loud. It’s possible I can bring you emotion, but I lack the knowledge to make you use your brain. Half of your human life ingredients are on the street, near the curb, and your human compassion is located in a frequently used bathroom fixture near the toilet. ---
