That's exactly how you guarantee a permanent guerilla terrorist force.

Us Americans are pretty dumb, unfortunately. I like to think I'm not, and even so really the only reason I clicked into the comments here was to clarify if that meant Georgia the country or Georgia the state because I could absolutely see Georgia the American state trying to run this. I'd expect it more out of Florida but shit's all fucked up everywhere these days. I appreciated that clarifying comment.

Fuck yeah, good for Mike. That sort of thing still works sometimes, but you have to be really, really good at what you do. But getting a good portfolio in the right hands at the right time is really all it takes.

How could I forget about Dolly Parton! I should be ashamed. The world could use a few more of her.

I did appreciate the story, thanks. And that's about exactly how I expected it happened, lol. Minus the hikers, I wouldn't have guessed that, but I can imagine exactly how it sounded when they told you to watch out for them bars!

Gentlemen, you know what must be done. We ride at dawn.

With proper use of metamagic, every spell is potentially like five different spells. Poindexter over here might have two dozen different named spells written down in his diary, but I know two fire based spells and I can make each of them do about eight different things, half of which aren't even fire damage.

It's the difference between writing down a recipe, and knowing how to cook.

Don't let my people monopolize that accent! It's a beautiful accent, in my opinion. Shame about most of the folks it's attached to. Most people hear a southern drawl and their mind goes right to white supremacy rednecks, which is unfortunately not incorrect of them to think. I wish we had some popular well educated folks to bring that sound to the larger populace so that it isn't such a red flag.

I mean, that might be true, but I work on a lot of shit that's right around 20 years old. It's mostly metric. But I keep a set of standard sockets around that I've had to pull out once or twice. Sometimes it's been because of swollen bolts but sometimes I'm pretty damn sure that's a 5/16.

I would think that if shit ever seriously hit the fan for them he would suddenly find a lot less allies in his cabinet than he thought.

But that is very much an uninformed armchair opinion.

What if they commit fraud 36 more times? How about then?

He would surely rather die than rehabilitate, and frankly probably won't have much choice in the matter given his age and condition, even if he were willing to try.
