When I visualize "wicked ass," it usually comes with a significant tramp stamp whose pattern uses a lot of thorns and letters with sharp fonts. Something like "GREEN WITH ENVY" with a briar patch of ink framing it. The sort of girl who will bite you while making out and break one of your lamps later, presumably intentionally.
I miss you, Melissa. Please call.

Not everything ever is connected to a person's sexual orientation. OKAY.

Looks like someone read Discipline and Punish. I always wondered what Onstad majored in at Stanford.
On another note, Pat is torn between his brutal sense of vindictiveness and his desire for approval from politically correct yuppie cultural icons. Classic dilemma.

I think the reason criminals don't respond to their liberty being stripped by an institution is because their liberties were already stripped by being from Circumstances. Think about it.

Well it never stopped all those people hundreds of years ago who still did crimes. (Some of them got kicked out of the country instead of executed. But it still didn't work.)
But jail doesn't seem to be stopping people either so I guess there is no solution here.
