BTK was a Cub Scout leader and used a false story as an alarm repairman to gain entry to one of his victim’s houses.

Rader used an ADT hard-hat and a Southwestern Bell manual to pose as a technician for the telephone company.[117] Rader first gained entry into Wegerle’s neighbor’s house, and pretended to do telephone work, before leaving and knocking on Wegerle’s door, doing so to make Wegerle less suspicious.

Fun fact: his son served on the naval base in New London at the same time as me. Not on the same submarine, but same waterfront a few piers down. Ran into him a few times.

Beginning of Act 3, Scene 5 finds Romeo and Juliet in bed prior to dawn, after having spent the night together as man and wife.

Forgiveness for my pedantry, but pretty sure a greeble (or greeblie) is the individual plastic details that they would glue on to create the texture, not the texture itself.

We don’t need another half-baked property about the heroic quest for Galadriel’s bidet, Gollum’s cock ring, or whatever McGuffin they come up with as a placeholder for The Ring.

Let the Professor’s work rest. No-one is doing his writing any favors by making a mockery out of it.

No, but I did take the 4 or 5 Oreos I would eat in a sitting, crumble them up, and put them in a bowl of milk like cereal.

Site gets stuck continuously loading whenever I try and sort listings. By state, by ending first, doesn’t matter. Nothing loads.

Can’t have a tank parade when all your tanks are currently planters for Ukrainian sunflowers.
