Robert knew that whore Betsy had his wallet. They were the only two people in the fucking room!!! Was she so stupid that she thought he’s so stupid as to not know that SHE HAD HIS WALLET!!! Retelling the story to visiting friend, Robert continued, “So I thought to myself ‘ Bitch, save some face, and your life and return whats mine’, so I decided to give her an out and said, even though I had not stepped inside there, “Maybe it is in the bathroom” and went there giving her time to put my goddamn wallet back where she had taken it from”.

Ope! Correct again, Ben! That's double Jew-Stars for you!
Hym "Yep. I tried to give the people it's happening to and the people doing it and the bystanders an out but you just don't want to let them take the out, do you? You know that your judgment isn't very good. And you signing off on this is the byproduct of that exact not very good judgement. But you'll get tired of the child murder eventually. You'll figure if out."

pulling an out of this world 

When two people or characters, who have romantically liked eachother for ages but hasnt admitted it to themselves or eachother but everyone knows, get together and it becomes weird and awkward and overall horrifying to all who happen to witness it and they act all corny with eachother. Much like a certain episode of the cartoon Kim Possible where Kim stops an evil guy from blowing up a planet or something and at the end of that cursed episode Kim tells Ron that he's "out of this world". *shudder*
I almost vomited when Ron and Hermione pulled an out of this world at the end of the 7th HP book.

Oh dear God please tell me Ranma and Akane wont start pulling an out of this world. I think I'd be scarred for life.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
