i've been meaning to respond

oh, i know Horatio! we’re well acquainted. i had to read ragged dick for american lit and have been on the rampage ever since.

Fucking cock-up of the american way. “pulling oneself up by the bootstraps and making something of oneseld?” what shite. perhaps the sarcasm didn’t come through as well as it could have in the above entry.

‘Shite’ is a Rat favourite also. I thought it was just Rat and Jamie Oliver.
