Curses (Nov 22 2003 01:59 GMT) - I'd really fucking like to put a curse on the shithead who broke my duct tape sword when I was 18.

He cracked it over his knee. I really would have liked to have given in to my impulse to beat the holy living crap out of him. |

Something clicked: These kids are just modeling the only rational response to working with users. |
