The birds are in misery. I don’t think they sing, they just screetch in pain.
21·2 months agoThere are three things which come to my mind which I consider excellent advice:
First, girls, don’t smoke–that is, don’t smoke to excess. I am seventy- three and a half years old, and have been smoking seventy-three of them. But I never smoke to excess–that is, I smoke in moderation, only one cigar at a time.
Second, don’t drink–that is, don’t drink to excess.
Third, don’t marry–I mean, to excess.
- Mark Twain last public address, St. Timothy’s School for Girls, Catonsville, MD, 9 June 1909
I think you need to add in the concept of ‘confidental’ as well to this. Your address isn’t a secret, but you don’t tell somone on the internet, even a ‘friend’ on the internet, where you live.

Merriam-webster says mousquet came from the Old Italian moschetto meaning a small artillery piece. It’s also a term for a male sparrow hawk. Which there was a traditio of naming weapons after animals.

The Wikipedia page for musketeer says this:
The Musketeers of the Guard were a junior unit, initially of roughly company strength, of the military branch of the Royal Household. They were created in 1622 when Louis XIII furnished a company of light cavalry (the “carabiniers”, created by Louis’ father Henry IV) with muskets.

So the term Musketeer comes from the fact that they are armed with muskets. I cant find anything about a mousquet being a place on the belt to hold stuff.

Fuck you, Wesley, your mom shot cum straight across the room and killed my Picard’s Fighting Fish. Threw off the pH levels in his aquarium, you piece of shit.

It’s an extravagant piece of art. A mad, unthinkable, utterly impossible piece of art! A frabulous, grabulous, zip-zoop-zabulous piece of art!

You are giving the orange turd way too much credit. He aint smart enough for a plan as complex as that.
