Come the Singularity it's virtual Hell for me I'm afraid. Of course, I'm used to the faithful making reservations for me in this or that hot nook... in my time I've been consigned to the flames for buttfucking, atheism, being a race traitor, socialism, vegetarianism, you name it!

Aragorn's mommy, actually. To Aragorn, on their last meeting
