August is the cruelest month
You are probably excited to hear me bitch about Ambre Fougère. But, to be honest, no fragburn as of yet. It will come soon enough. And the blade is old and tuggy, and deserves to be retired with fellow scrap metal. Also, formatting is shitty because I didn't bring my computer.
But why, Porkbutts, can't you just take another blade, and a decent soap from your den? See, you heathens, because August is when we remember original sin, and it is dedicated to pure, gratuitous suffering. ~Unless, of course, the suffering brings us a shortening of our stay in the purgatory. ~
Have a good sight!
