    We’ve made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And *I* will make them pay for what they’ve done!

      I don’t know if you all have noticed this, but whenever we Facebook an update, it picks one of the comments at random and uses it for the description.

      Today it was this.

      Gold Star.

              I did notice that. The quote, I mean, not the man-on-man kissing. I thought it was something you picked on purpose.

              … Wow, some of the FB status updates must have interesting comments picked out, don’t they?

    Best. Page. Ever. I mean, it’s suspenseful, tragic, yet it has hints for an optimistic outcome once the storm has passed. And, as a bonus, it completely fleshes out Byron’s past. Wow, just… Wow.

      Naah, those were all skirmish lines. Battle lines are graven into the paper, with firm, bold strokes, while skirmish lines are lighter, more sensitive, as the pen caresses the paper.

            Nah, I was thinking about “Global Thermonuclear War”. Because when you draw those lines, they tend to be the thickest.

        “Fight in the shade?” I thought it was “Hug in the shade.” Maybe I’m thinking of the wrong “300” trailer. :P

        Kudos to anyone who knows what the heck I’m talking about.
