Spanish has about 75% of words from Latin, based on what some authors have said :p

Meh, it's vulgar Latin with some Gothic and Arabic thrown in.

I was just planning to dress up in a suit and say I was one of those presidential candidates nobody gives a fuck about.

I did see a Chris Christie latex mask at Nobbies tonight when we were poking around trying to find something son could be happy about. He ended up going as a 'Purger'. Hockey mask, full-on longsleeved skeleton shirt with good detail, bullet bandeau, and a full-auto machine gun. This of course since we couldn't get a proper longcoat of sorts short notice short of $100 so he could go as a Hunter from Bloodborne, and the Pipboy comes out too late to utilize.

Ayup. Last year, we did Krieg, and I worked my ass off for it. This year, he's more easygoing. Thank heavens. I couldn't repeat this.

He should have been Chris Christie.

I get this vibe from him whenever I see him on TV. "I make look harmless, but one false step and I will have my Jersey hit men at your house tonight."

Plus his views on national security scare anyone who knows what his views are - so maybe 30% of the population?
