Shut the fuck up.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

OH NO YOU DI'NT

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's not an issue of whether it's "normal", I don't think that's relevant. There is a distinction between "abusive relationship" and "relationship where two consenting adults choose to resolve conflict via physical violence". I just don't really buy into the idea that two capable people should just suppress all their frustrations because "hitting people is wrong". But no, let's just all sit in a circle and talk it out even when the issue is so fundamental as to be beyond compromise.

You shouldn't hit someone who cannot reasonably be expected to mount a capable counterattack. Beyond that, why not? If both parties are in roughly equivalent states of physical fitness, then both of them will be injured to roughly the same degree.

Bonding!

I like how Elmo just dictated how Sass and I have to decorate our kitchen.

Fuck you, Jellyfish. You're not my real father.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It seems like everyone should like sarcasm that's easy to access, though.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
