Glyph is worse than some and better than others. He believes that life is just one damned thing after another, that only pop music can save us now, and that mercy is the mark of a great man (but he's just all right). Nothing he writes here should be taken as an indication that he knows anything about anything.

Not to mention the Easter Bunny. Other rabbits get to do what they’re famous for, but he’s condemned to eternity being oviparous.Report
