Oh Glotmorf, you take me too seriously.  I'm not a murderous sociopath, as
you suggest.  In fact, my favourite character from The Matrix was not that
played by our good friend Keanu, but that of Laurence Fishburne.  The
thinker, the teacher, the optimist.

In reality, all these dark things spewing forth from my terminal come for
two reasons.  One, I have a dark sense of humour this week.  Why?  I don't
know.  Two, the game is fairly bright and cheery, with all sorts of happy
things (e.g. The Pink Scarf); we would be fools to completely forget our
own mortalities ;)

Anyone know if they've made it illegal to keep a human skull on your desk
like the authors of yore?

*sigh* To be honest, I wasn't surprised... just absent-minded and
subsequently annoyed.  As I said, I think that the PIG isn't too fond of
football... first it stopped its inception, and then it stopped passing.
Coincidence?  I think not.  It's conspiring against me, I tell you... all
the Gremlins are against me....

It's not *only* because of the PIG... I just think the game would be a lot
more fun if there was something to be a little afraid of.  Well, that and
I had this proposal about a Gremlin that Killed you... and I thought:
"Hey!  Wouldn't it be neat if you could die in a bunch of ways?"  I have a
feeling I'm going to die faster than most... but such is the way of
things.

I thought I had declared my gender long ago... oh well, I'll just
redeclare it.

It's not particularily charming, declaring oneself to be bitter.  In fact
it's sort of anti-charming.  Oh well, such is the way of things.
