    I have. It tastes like chicken. Never have I ever been bitten by a water moccasin. They are foul tempered beasts and look best with a smashed head.

    Take care with this story. If you got abuse or violence in your history, you might find it triggering. Once you get past that, this hero's journey is compelling and feels entirely too real for those of us who have been there.

    I like stories that take anti-gay stereotypes and smash them to bits. Weak? Crunch. Cowardly? Crunch. Effeminate? Kick it in the damned knee. Peter has the kind of guts and grit it takes to live in what some people call flyover country. In his copious spare time, I'd suggest that he take martial arts training. He's got the fighting part down, but could probably benefit from the spiritual side of it. Inner peace is difficult to find when people want to kick your head in.

    Science fiction authors often fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing their aliens. As we are yet to encounter any aliens, this is understandable. We are likely to discover any aliens we may encounter are much more alien than we bargained for.

    No Sea World, but I went to Dizney Does Florida in the late 70s. I went with my cousin and slept with her BF. In the hotel... Oh... this is getting awkward. Never have I ever been to a Dizney attraction this millennium.

    I know the difference from flea markets. NO. You don't buy fleas there. I like to rummage through the old books, but they are mostly about antiques. These are two cobalt blue glass inkwells. This is an ink stand... for your inkwells.

    Perpendicular triangles and the ratios of their angles and sides are the core of trigonometry and are exceptionally important to engineering. If you drive over a bridge or live in a skyscraper, raise a glass to Pythagoras.

    Me either. Never have I worked in health care.

    I knew there was bad blood, I just didn't know the origin. Their personalities make them natural antagonists.

    Jeremy and friends, boldly threatening Pete in front of witnesses, makes me anxious. Either they are stupid (quite likely) or think they are covered (also likely). Does this Turner character have cards he hasn't dropped yet? If he is indeed a big dog in the community, and can pressure the people who work for him, he might decide to keep pressuring Pete as a distraction and go after George. In a small town, I wouldn't be surprised if Uncle George and Turner hadn't tangled before. In fact, given their temperaments and Turner's belligerence, I'd expect the two had a long-running feud.

    I remember seeing old movies where naughty boys dipped girls pigtails in the inkwell.

    Autocorrect leads to some absolutely fascinating unintended (and sometime hilarious) malapropisms. My phone does not like the word "karaoke" and habitually replaces it with "kamikaze". My comment on Reddit: I once sang the Car's song Drive at kamikaze while hammered. Got a much bigger reaction than I expected.

    I can multitask, but no. Never have I ever paid retail when I had a choice.

    Marjoram tastes like a smoother, milder version of oregano. Oregano can be substituted for it, but you'll want to use less.

    Finding good examples of malapropisms isn't essay. Modern readers often think they are typos. They are often a good way to inject humor into your writing, or subtly show one of your characters is a wit… or perhaps a half-wit.

    If it's long and dangerous, I'll give it a go. 😜 Never have I ever done drag. I'm just not built right for it.

    My cats often like to chat... at 4am. Yo dad, you awake? No. Are you sure? Yes. Let's play anyway...

    I shocked my pals when I used a windlass fashioned out of stuff in the back of his truck attached to an oak tree to pull his truck out of a muddy bog. Archimedes was wrong about using a lever and a fulcrum to move the world. You need a windlass too. Redneck engineering is fun and has gotten me out of so much trouble. I won't say what we were doing in that bog. 😇
