    Look, my personal mantra is “pick on someone your own size”, which I chant every morning when I’m roaming the streets with my walking bat.

    Only a bigot would find that threatening.

      Ok, I can’t help but give an exception for that.

      You are making sure to bang it creepily while talking in a sing-song voice right?

        Eh, it’s more of an summoning Moloch vibe.

        But whenever someone makes eye contact, I make sure to never blink.
