This is one I'm going to ad-lib for Ian...
"What are you going to do? Teach me to smoke dope and grow organic veggies? Violence isn't your forte... It's mine."

Hmm. A bit rough around the edges. "What are you going to do? Throw me in a commune to grow organic veggies? {...]? The smoking dope thing doesn't mesh well with tone of the sentence. Just my opinion though. Each writer has their own style.

Just my opinion though. Each writer has their own style. It wasn't something written down. It was said in a conversation where someone was getting pissed-off that their sunshine and daisies outlook got stomped by hard facts. Like I said, I wasn't going to use it verbatim, but modifiy it based on my writing style.

In response to a local news story about three grenades found throughout our state's capital city today (in three different locations, mind):
"We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door neighbor. -Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Is it really necessary for Him to give my neighbor grenades?"

"We're surrounded? Good, that simplifies the problem. We shoot in all directions!" - Chesty Puller, United States Marine Corps
"Be polite, be professional, have a plan to kill everyone you meet." - Gen. James Mattis, United States Marine Corps.
"I come in peace. I didn't bring my artillery. But I'm begging you now, with tears in my eyes: if you fuck with me, I'll kill you all." - Gen James Mattis, United States Marine Corps (said to Iraqi tribal leaders in his area of responsibilty prior to the Battle of Fallujah. Needless to say, the local tribes left him alone.)

Tell him what now?
Incidentally, remind me to have words with the United States Marine Corps. Evidently they are not my kind of people.

Oh holy crow!
I hadn't forgotten your name, btw. I think I know most of your names at this point........ most. There are always new people.
But that you're named after the guy I just trashed - I forgot that. xD
