[Chris_H_2]

don’t do it Tommy

[JuanHamm]

I'm going to have to consult with the bros and get back to you

[dad]

okay, but this is kinda time sensitive.

please let me know by COB.

[Chris_H_2]

pretty damn pushy for someone begging for the apology

[JuanHamm]

If you're going to press me for an answer it's no

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Tommy sent us all pics of feces and something else once. Vomit? Dead babies? I don’t recall, I got the poop pics. He’s no angel.

Uhh, I think you're mistaken

[JuanHamm]

Can Jorge verify this?

[spike]

Tommy’s been gaslighting me all day. He’s a monster, and dad you need to learn to read people better.

[Jorge]

Dad is too pure for this board

[dad]

If you're going to press me for an answer it's no

it's just that, you know...life's short.

if i die in my sleep and you can't forgive me, i've got to take that with me to wherever i'm going.

it's probably down.

although, not that far down. i won't get further than 25ft deep.

anyway, please consider forgiving me.

[dad]

Dad is too pure for this board

you'd like to think that.

[JuanHamm]

Dad is too pure for this board

And he's begging me for forgiveness. Think about how pure that must make me.

do you want to live impurely?

[dad]

i'm not even a christian, and i believe in forgiveness.

[JuanHamm]

I'm going to tentatively accept this apology. I just hope your traditional English apology gift is a good one.

[dad]

like a pudding or a nice beef wellington?

[Dev]

Bahaha this alliance is in shambles. You are both snakes and that's what happens when people are snakes.

[Dev]

If something smells like shit it's probably shit. This applies to Tommy's private messages and a lot of other stuff going on here.
