Yes, I thought of that. It was an ad for seeking significance by committing an act like this. So alienated. I cringed yesterday when i heard them talking excitedly about how this had set a new record for the number of people killed in such an incident. That was when it was thought there were 25.

I think the boy who was interviewed was wearing a tee shirt with an alien on it, as a matter of fact. Too obvious for fiction, it wouldn't fly.

Dear Chuz:

I am attempting this only because I tried to do my mea culpas a day or so ago to Steve, and was, indecorously 'squdded' (a repulsive thought) or some such - and could not get my humility onto the thread.

I did a naughty to you, at a moment's exposure.

It was a vile, infantile, and inexcusable act.

I find, on another moment's of passing through this territory, that you and such wonderful people as Edwarda, E, Shampoo, and probably many others are quite akin.

I do precipitous things. I fret about them, after they are done.

I offer the following 453 pages of 'explanation' of my having done this in other contexts.

It is to show that, once a fool, always a fool.

I bow, humbly.

It is terrible to disgrace oneself, as I do with such facility.

Here's the tome:
