I am sure that somewhere, someone is starting an ecstacy cult that involves burning the works of fluffy artists and inhaling the fumes in order to bring forth repressed memories of past lives as burned witches. And they're forming just to spite you. |

And they're forming just to spite you. Pish. Depends on where they thought they were burned. Man oh man if I had a nickle for everytime I heard a Fluff say they were burned to death in Salem.... rofl
Hey, I was burned in Salem! Granted, it was a lighter...and it was my own fault...and it was Winston-Salem...but it's practically the same thing! |

TeaDidikai Henry Dorsett Case Hell yes it is - especially since it's one of the only two of my original six Zippos that I still have. The others have been stolen. One at an anime con (hell, it was a GunSmith Cats Zippo), one at Dave & Buster's, and the other two out of my leather coat when my car was broken into last November. Hope you don't mind your spankin' old Zippo coming pre-engraved with the romaji for the Japanese translation for "Penance" on it. Wait... they took the lighters but not the leather? confused
Technically, they took the lighters, my cellphone, and the CD player. I mean, that phone is never going to work again for Verizon without illegal modification (like changing its IMEI). As for why they didn't take the leather, I'll never know. I think they were lookin for things that would be easy to either pawn or fence - since the majority of the "rough" crowd in my area were motorcycle riders, I don't think a buttered leather jacket was going to appeal to them too much.
May the lighters run out of wick, may the cotton rot, and may the flints jam. |

Not at all. That's the only part I'd have to curse. The cell phone is a model that's un-deity-ly hard to soft-modify - it will probably have to be gutted to change the IMEI. The CD player will require repair from the way they removed it - they cut the wires instead of taking out the adaptor, and managed to cut the wire connecting the antenna to the unit, as well as doing some unknown bits of damage to the unit in the forms of pieces (including a fuse) left behind in the car. Though the person to curse is my now-ex-wife - it was actually *her* car, mind you, and the reason it was broken into was that she *insisted* on leaving the doors unlocked, even though the car sat outside in a low-socioeconomic neighborhood. Note that her mother's car, with a visible, uncased laptop in the passenger seat, wasn't touched - her doors were locked. |
