Damn, those rookies really can't hit the wide side of a literal barn.

I'm afraid i managed to get OpenXcom to work on my laptop. See you in a few years subjective.

A demon possesses a man and uses him to impregnate a woman.

1) Who is the child's father?
2) Is he liable for child support?

Losing your citizenship is a privilege that must be earned through years of loyal service and the repayment of all your debts.

Lies only work to the extent to which the one lied to doesn't care.

If you keep running away from problems, sooner or later you are going to run out of places to run to.

My code contains now
A hack, ugly as warfare;
This issue is closed.

"How did you go around those limits of yours, Simon?" — Strafing. Lots of strafing.
