Potrezebie - SPOILERS, but only if you've read fewer than 20 pp of AtD

[Erik T. Burns]

Foax:

So, finally got a copy of _AtD_ y'day and can join this whole sick crew again.

First thing I thought of when presented with the "elliptical envelope"
design of the "Inconvenience" is this:

And "potrezebie" means "necessity," I'm told, a-and necessity is a
kind of inconvenience...

I'm also surprised that in the mad rush to find slurs against the
current leadership no one has mentioned the town where Chick last saw
his father: "Thick Bush."

Sophomoric, fer shure (like "halfwit") -- but then the slump is often
productive.
