Bear witness to the sins of the English; sins compounding sins. Driving over to Ely to see the gang, I beheld a precisely-trimmed topiary; and as I passed that topiary it revealed to me a perfect simulacrum of the countenance of Peppa Pig.
There are a number of people on that godforsaken rock that I would go so far as to say I "enjoy the company of" and maybe even "like" so I have no idea why Our Foul Creator is constantly trying to convince me to execute the nuclear option here, and, might I say, doing an excellent job.
Big Ben will be in flames, the moors empty of screams, Arthur never to rise again, certainly a tragedy but on the other hand, I will never have to hear the phrase, "Jumping into muddy puddles" in that fucking sing song way, and JKR will be dead, so it's a net gain.
#Also trying to explain to my daughter that tomahhhhhhhhto is not 'wrong' its just specific to a world region#but also BEEB YOU SAY TOMAYTO OH MY GOD I AM DYING#severely testing my more or less descriptivist nature :'(#I've lost the war on my daughter having any vestige of my accent so I guess she'll slound like a fucking broadcaster from Ohio#BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT PEPPA#actually right now her accent is insane and I love it but I know it'll get boring#she says flour like me...because i'm the only one who says flour to her#but she picked up 'spill' and 'will' etc from Jill's mom so she sounds southern
