""In any case, fire burns; that's its nature, and you can't expect to change that. You can use it to cook your meat or to burn down your neighbor's house. And is the fire you use for cooking any different from the one you use for burning? And does that mean you should eat your supper raw?"
Maddy shook her head, still puzzled. "So what you're saying is . . . I shouldn't play with fire," she said at last.
"Of course you should," said One-Eye gently. "But don't be surprised if the fire plays back.""— Joanne Harris

Without reading this specific story, I know he's said it's a last resort, as she won't let him see their children. I'm pretty sympathetic towards the guy.
Yeah, whatever. Offer the reasonable other point of view for my extreme interest story, why don't you.
Missing post in the memory hole! What did you regret posting?
Bowspers, n.pl. British nautical term for shipboard nudists.
It's there now--I just set it to appear this morning instead of last night so this wouldn't get pushed down too quickly.
Cablore, n. Legends and trivia specific to taxi drivers.
I think the guy should get the kidney back, but in a double whammy verdict (Hadrian, that is all yours) he should make the man eat it in a pie. That will show them both.
dilbirco: n. 1. The company based on a famous cartoon about working in an office.
2. The opposite of eureka.
