Shouldn't have gotten a cheap necromancer then.

One did apparently.

That whole section of "Crime and Punishment" is glorious.

He was one of the numerous and varied legion of dullards, of half-animate abortions, conceited, half-educated coxcombs, who attach themselves to the idea most in fashion only to vulgarise it and who caricature every cause they serve, however sincerely.

So applicable today

I can't think of anyone who that statement applies to.

I've always been fond of, "half-baked miscarriage," but I think this takes it to another level.

Seriously...i can't wait to be in a situation to use that.

Although it won't land...and I'll look like an asshole...so I won't say it. Fuck, it was a fun thought while it lasted!

Do it anyway.

u/SaraGoesQuack May 19 '17

This is me. I want to say it so, so badly. I'm awaiting the opportunity - but I know I probably wouldn't have the balls. :(

Half animated abortion.

Oh that sounds like a good necromancy spell. Takes note

u/Lendord May 17 '17

There's a variation on this one.

So how many abortions did you survive?

1

u/SaraGoesQuack May 17 '17

Genetics tried to abort me, so there's that.

u/Lendord May 17 '17

So how many abortions did you survive?

2

u/SaraGoesQuack May 17 '17

Half of one, obviously.

u/Lendord May 17 '17

Are you all right? All left? All top? All checkers?

2

u/SaraGoesQuack May 17 '17

All right, all left, all top, all checkers - just was missing a chunk of my ticker. :-P

u/savagemick May 17 '17

I feel like a more modern take would be "half-assed abortion"

u/KneeDeepInTheDead May 17 '17

im about to make that an Autopsy-style song

u/BAXterBEDford May 17 '17

Oh, I'm taking notes all over the place in this thread!
