Not that you're wrong, but you could have been nicer about it.

Oh, I could have done a lot of things.
I could have cancelled exams.
I could have called in grief counselors.
Instead I gave them a reality check.
The professor backed me up 100%, BTW.

I just stopped by. The frozen section is nearly picked clean, a surprising amount of breakfast sausages remain. Rest of the store is better stocked.

TOTALLY AGREE with this analogy.

No one that I know of, but the feckless local media of course showed up to cover this incredibly important event. The usual train of losers from Loserville pulled into the station to attend the soiree, unable to resist the cool factor of it all. Of course, none of them would have shown up for an earnest show of respect and grief when the murders actually took place. It was far more entertaining to attend what was tantamount to a mockery of the whole sad affair.
