It sounds like a Facebook thing, but really- how much can you change by taking one word out of any random sentence?
Or what can you change by adding a word? Especially nouns. Man, nouns are a mess. One noun, more or less, can cause fights.
Of course, we’re people living in the 21st century. We’ll fight over nouns, verbs, even pronouns.
If you stop to consider both sides (do they even allow that any more?) it’s not really the nouns and verbs and all, it’s the meanings (or multiple possible meanings) behind the words and how we choose to accept or deflect them.
And now that we’re getting back to the gag at hand, the critical word was ‘feelings’. In today’s world, feelings are very important to consider. Things do get started and get stopped because of Feelings.
But if you leave out the ‘feelings’ and stop that sentence at ‘hurt’… it takes on a bodily injury tone that puts feelings into another context
Darn insurance takes the fun out of everything. Can’t believe we manage to have any fun these days.
After jump: “Ok, so who’s feeling’s hurt now?”
I thought Paste had a winguit? (To honour the fallen….) Isn’t that for base jumping? I don’t actually know, since i’m not brave enough to try it!
No. Base jumping is when you hold your chute in your hand, and jump fairly close to the ground (but high enough that you die if the chute doesn’t open. BASE = “building, antenna, span, and earth (cliff).” You can use a wing suit, but it’s not base jumping then, it’s gliding.

can we use ALL THAT TAPE on the gnoll and do an event PINATA!
see, it’s stuff like this that makes me wonder how Hubris hasn’t become an only child long before now…
tho, come to think of it… given His tendencies… how have his/their parents not become childless?
