Astonishing disclosures and threat and retaliation signaling have run rampant in my sad little social circle.

Turns out a consortium of a cryptosexual, an East German, a yakuza daughter, a Texan and a Jew was a bad idea. What could have gone wrong? Seriously, who knew? The cryptosexual is an unabashed sadist, droning on endlessly about disemboweling one of us or the other. Brazenly unsafe. They'll say we'd been ignoring warning signs when he takes a scalpel in each hand and gets started.
