P. Lovecraft

It was the Almighty who decreed that men and women must cover their nakedness by wearing proper and modest clothing. No amount of rationalizing can change God's laws.

My dad in particular, I tend to use; I call him "The Brain." If he's accessible, I'd rather put it through his brain.

So anything worth mulling over, I will mull over with my father, and that includes ratings. ~Joshua Malina
