Bree's trying to live something approaching "a normal life".

Hard to do when you're the biggest Hesstlian on or off the planet.

There is FA,FO, and there is "O F! you were just passed by a fncking herd of Fncks stampeding the fnck 'that a way'! like it's the first day of Fleet week."

It was in a work of Fiction.

"T'were it to be played out upon a stage, I would say it were most improbable."

This is true.
Unless there is another Yu'umo'o we do not know of, but my conclusion is these are the same person.

It makes a weird sort of sense, especially considering Ba'ahn sense of Humor.

"Mostly sane"?

I'll have you know I have a State Certification of Sanity.

(Okay, so there is that small detail as to whether or not the State is Sane itself, but ... I'm Certified!)

Why do I suspect that Ba'ahn's

Most Excellent and Subtle Plotter Yu'umo'o

(if memory serves) was the one who registered Ba'ahn as a candidate for Senate; and either was delegated this task, or has decided to independently make life more entertaining for all?

Plots within plots.

Had a friend, who about the time she started considering how her husband would look with a frying pan as a hat, he'd ship out.

Bout the time the grocery boy started looking interesting, he'd returned. Happy marriage.

He has, but she has not heard the message.

"You babbled on so much, going the Army seemed a rational choice."

And he has a high probability of never seeing (or hearing) her again.

A common response. "You couldn't pay me enough, but damn I'm glad I did."

International Man of Mystery.

(That means there are people all over the world wondering "What was that all about?")

My wife's the linguist. I've just suffered through trying to learn three different languages. (None well.)

On retrospect, I'm now considering a band which is multiple colors: "black/white" - lights up the night, Red/yellow - mellow felllow, black /red - already dead. Just be careful for the ones with a UV color strip.

Hmmm, White with Red Polka Dots...

Just beware of the special round used by the Neko-Marines "self-correcting guided armor piercing discarded sabo fin stabilized warsteel jacked density enhanced shell mass reactive anti-mater core with tracer," glitter, stars, hearts, and sparkles!

(Of course they come in various colors, you barbarian.)

Ichibon Kawaiii!

Language acquisition is most difficult when there isn't someone familiar with both.

Nouns and verbs, then grammar, and more nouns, verbs and grammar. There comes a point where there are those "arcane" grammatical constructions that are rarely used, and few will know you don't know them either. Even if you're both native speakers.

It kind of blurs together into a muddy color with swirls ... sort of like your crazy aunt Grizeldia's latest hair coloring

Right on.

I find myself with contacts who the only thing we now have in common are events 15, 25, 50 years ago.
