It's like he's a thing that tried to present a confused idea of what a "perfectly normal and totally not-dangerous human being" would look like.

I can't take credit for that one. It used to be "heads off their bodies" but my wife suggested the other way around because it's much creepier.

Well is definitely more correct in a creepy way; the head is where all the thinky feely stuff goes on -- the body is kind of just commanded by it.

It's kind of funny, because right now, you'd think the school would need saving from Pasqualo and company... But at this rate it seems like the principal is a bigger danger to the people there.

I remember reading some kind of story when I was a kid where there was a woman? who was... I don't know casting a spell on some girl and the girl was trapped with her somehow. The woman was a very Louisiana voodoo black woman with a red bandana, anyway the girl figured out that the witch woman would take off her head every night to go to sleep so the girl managed to get the head and lock it in a box until the witchy woman agreed to let her go. At least I think that's what happened.

Anyway, the woman said something along the lines of "Well I suppose my head can't live without its body," and I remember thinking how creepy it was that she said it kind of the opposite way of something like her body needs its head and our teacher pointed it out to us.

So, yeah, I don't know if this post had a point, but I typed it up while I was thinking it so I'm gonna leave it here.

Yeah, I hope Pasqualo sees this as an opportunity to try and be not-so-evil. Him taking over the school by taking out the Principal would be the best thing for everyone else involved. I miss Rutherford and want his love to live on! A love of ANGER and PISS cut so tragically short.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

What kind of god hears someone praying to remove feelings of remorse and shame over a horrible slaughter and just goes "OK then, I'll take all your remorse forever."

That must have been some kind of terrible alien god.
