Bdaysuit, that’s so the worm can talk out of its, well you know.Faces in the corner by Thom’s signature and up next to the line where it’s tied to the hook. Also one in the submerged part of the bank up in the corner — kinda vague but it’s there.

Shouldn’t bating have an extra “i” so it would be baiting?

Is this one of the last tests to go from an apprentice baiter to a master?

He doesn’t want to participate in de bate. So don’t try and bait him.

In conclaves, all the cardinals can vote—but only those under 80 can get in, and you need 2/3 plus 1 to get elected.
