Tom, don't take this the wrong way, but if I hadn't actually met you
in person and witnessed certain events, I would swear that none of
this stuff ever actually happens/happened and it's all made up.
But since I have actually met you and witnessed certain events, all I
can do is shake my head and wonder whose Corn Flakes you did
unspeakable things to in a past life to deserve all this.
For that matter, I also wouldn't believe how Adam's Dak met its fate
if I'd never met him and just heard/read the story from someone else.
