Incessant Chatterings of Yours Truly

So, for everyone's general awareness, several years ago, I forbade Diem from drinking mountain dew.  A combination of dental problems, addiction and weight seemed to tell me it was necessary.  He still gets it very rarely, but it's a well-known fact and joke that he was an addict.

Sageling: I just watched mountain dew dissolve a rat. Oh IFLS, you are like an accident I cannot look away from.

Diem: See? That is why mountain dew goes on the /inside/, not the /outside/. Besides, my body is not made of rats, just saying. I was born in the *singing along to 'eye of the tiger'* Year of the Tiger.

Abel: I'm a rat.

Diem: See?! /You/ can't have mountain dew. I'm fine.
