Probably. You may use a velvet glove with the rest, but I'd prefer you address me with a sledgehammer.

I was addressing the Pretty Little Flower. It seemed revealing that he did not like Lord Jim.

Lord Jim is not the kind of book Flower would like,

Jim meets a mean Pirate, and normally Flower would like a book like that. But, the Pirate kills people, and Jim gets killed.

That bugged Flower, sure, he dreams of meeting a real Pirate, and he hopes its a bad Pirate- but he doesn't want to be killed- roughed up a little is what he sees.

SPOILER ALERT! HELL-OOO?!?!?

I was planning to read Lord Jim at some point in the future. Usually I'm a big fan of stuff Flower doesn't like.

So I was too subtle.

I will try to be more forceful the next time.

But on behalf of my large corporate media conglomerate clients, I'd just like to point out that anybody who would do that would be wrong.
Mickey might someday fall into the public domain, but it won't be for lack of effort on Disney's part. Y'all think I'm kidding, but that's really what drove the timing of the Bono extension. Mickey fucking Mouse.

Would NFH be less boring if she was tossing your salad? Penske says she's hot.

2. But if you try to go shorter than that (i.e. if you see a great price for great cords, but they're only a 32" inseam), you'll regret it.
