I've always considered myself part of the newt-free camp.

It's a nice distinction to tell American soldiers (and Iraqis) to die in
Iraq for the sake of democracy (ignoring the question of whether it's
*working*) and then whine that "The Constitution is not a suicide pact."

Yeah, but considering some of the other possibilities, Lord of Newts
isn't so bad...

-Weird plankton.
-Now, print 'Dalek.'
-Town kinderpal.
-I tank lewd porn.

Er, my mistake ...

Is it possible that you have sold writing materials in a town where you
worked in a factory, and where you intended to have two children and adopt
an owl? Or have I totally missed it again?

* Town ink-pedlar
* Worked in plant
* Two kid planner
* Kind owl parent

(I wouldn't worry, I seem to be an "avid red fish" ...)
