La

LA is the loneliest and most brutal of American cities; New York gets god-awful cold in the winter but there’s a feeling of wacky comradeship somewhere in some streets. LA is a jungle.

Speaking as an LA native, this is the longest earthquake I’ve ever felt!

And now Mrs Waters (for we must confess she was in the same bed), being, I suppose, awakened from her sleep, and seeing two men fighting in her bedchamber, began to scream in the most violent manner, crying out murder! robbery! and more frequently rape! which last, some, perhaps, may wonder she should mention, who do not consider that these words of exclamation are used by ladies in a fright, as fa, la, la, ra, da, &c., are in music, only as the vehicles of sound, and without any fixed ideas.

"La la la la, I can't hear you!" Jimmy said, sticking his fingers in his ears.

"La, William, don't be so highty-tighty with us. We're not men. We can't fight you," Miss Jane said.

By judicious leaking, he also managed to make la Kirkpatrick and her associates look rather unsavory.

(You have to wonder where la Wintour finds the time for all this styling: maybe it's a displacement activity to fill the void left by her failure to get the Democratic party into power?)

Eat shit la you!
