… to kill me.
… Lebanon to pay an onerous price for its ambiguity on Hezbollah.
… the $60 he claims C*****d owes him.
… you to tell your paper what you thought of his movie.
… to kill me. Again. [I did not make this up, it really said “Again.”]
… to break free.
… to move to Ireland to meet leprechauns.
… to share with the world.

Snaars needs …
… photographs of both sides of the animal.
… Mum to be present all the time.
… to go on with his life and let Terri's family take care of her.
… to leave the security of his personal isolation.
… brotherly love.
… to learn about language.

I am the atacama desert

Follow the following links at your own risk ... you may be offended. I took this personality test on the Rum & Monkey website, entitled "Which extrmity of the Earth are you?" and answered as truthfully as possible. Turns out I am the Atacama Desert - the driest place on the Earth.


Which Extremity of the World Are You?
From the towering colossi at Rum and Monkey.

Very proud of this. Years of studying critical thinking enabled me to do this on the first try.
