of a conversationalist. And I really want to finish this article, a
friend of mine wrote it, so...

stand in your way. The last thing I want to be remembered as is an
annoying blabbermouth. You know, nothing grinds my gears worse than some

catch me running off with my mouth, just give me a poke on the chubbs...
