You have a impressive memory when it comes to Lesbians with STDs.

That, and I spend far too much time on Fark.

Also, lesbians and STDs.

What the mother did was pretty fraked up, but seriously:
The effects on the victim would be long-lasting.
''I can only pray that they will not be permanent,'' he said.
Do we have to be this damned dramatic? You don't get coddled your entire life. Some people will do bad things to you and you'll have to learn to deal with it. Life is tough. Get a helmet.

The long-windedness of the plan was basically the joke (by serving as an indicator of the convoluted nature of the scheme), but when I submitted the headline, I did worry that when combined with the text outside the quotation marks, it might cause a headache or two. (Substitute something simple, like the single word "deception", in place of all the text current enclosed by the quotes, and headline becomes easily readable.) I definitely could have worded it better , but that would have actually required me to be a bit less lazy... so you see the problem.

That puzzled me as well, but it's the term used by the article... and hell, in the deranged mind of someone nuts enough to pull this kind of stunt, perhaps every fellow shopper at the neighborhood grocer is a mortal rival for scarce resources.
