Do we need to call out the men in whitecoats and puffy pink hats?

I’m obsessed with your writing. I immediately get sucked in as soon as I read the first sentence and never want it to end. in conclusion, I heart it.

Now I’m gonna wonder, if I see you on a Tuesday, if this is the day or the week in between.

Haha, a gap in your gap shorts.

For reals though, if it’s a break in the seam, that would be really easy to sew up. If it’s a worn through hole, that might be a bit tougher. Might have to patch it.

Unless you’re cool with hanging the balls loose every couple weeks. I know I am.

Comment on Finally, I Have Kicked a Pigeon by Mike Lavoie

Sage, my dove. I must admit, the pest control industry has made some impressive propaganda in its time and I suppose that has partly swayed me. However, as I wrote, I have always had an innate hatred for the shit bird; far before the pest control industry started sending me t-shirts and beach balls.

You’re research is impressive and appreciated but was it really “an inkling of compassion” you were seeking from me when you wished “the same debilities and neglect as your poor victim” on me? I think you are confused by this little tale and therefore scared and therefore angry. Let’s go deeper.

Keep in mind that although I wanted to kick a pigeon, I never did until I was enlisted to by someone who needed a pigeon to be kicked. Suppose all my life I wanted to murder someone, but suppressed the desire. Then I was drafted into the Army and I ended up murdering some terrorists, deserving of death according to US law and custom, but certainly not in the eyes of the terrorists’ friends and family. Is it my fault or “wrong” that I enjoyed the murdering? Is it morally worse for me to savor their deaths than the solider next to me who regrets that he must kill?

If I am the devil, which I am not ruling out, I am the devil with a conscience.
