Yes, so Kevin is to be a sacrificial virgin. Not the usual victim but times are tough and a virgin is a virgin, its human sacrifice after all (after a few months of servitude. ).

Indeed, Rusty, all those people who feared being incinerated by a forest fire, as well as animals that lost their nests and perhaps their lives. It was great, you monstrous Republican-in-training.

Mark looks sickly. And Geoff still comes off as creepy. "Let's go camping with some kids". Heck you might find a stray you can bring home. Surely Rusty could use a playmate and you and Cherry would have someone to keep up with "the chores".Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 May 2020, 7:46am

It's funny how just changing the line to "...camping with THE kids" would have considerably lowered the creep factor.revbob wrote: ↑22 May 2020, 8:48amMark looks sickly.

What would be funny about it being from Rusty's imagination, he's such a pud that he can't even be the hero of his story. He's still mostly going along with what better people—orphan Kevins!—do.revbob wrote: ↑22 May 2020, 1:06pmYeah Im starting to consider some of the hypotheses in that article you posted yesterdayKory wrote: ↑22 May 2020, 1:03pmIt's funny how just changing the line to "...camping with THE kids" would have considerably lowered the creep factor.revbob wrote: ↑22 May 2020, 8:48amMark looks sickly.
