I named my fists Poynting and Robertson because they're going to send you spiraling to your doom.
I named my fists John and Cage because you're not going to be doing anything for the next four minutes and thirty three seconds
I named my fists Chekhov and Gun because you know they're coming but you don't know when

Apparently a post I made several months ago went a little viral, so howdy to any visitors! I've got some board games, and the pizzas should be here soon. I need to run to the storage area to get some more chairs though. Won't be a sec.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.
