[Suicide Junkie]

Random cartoon violence for no good reason is not encouraged. Being an outsider and pushing it on the regulars is worse.

Just imagine if you had walked into a foreign bar and pulled the verbal equivalent of these shenanigans. The old regulars can curse each other in a friendly way because they're friends. If you start spouting off to them, you'll quickly end up in the hospital.

You gotta ease into things, man. Mellow out, and don't try to arms race into insanity. Let go of the ego, and be ready to accept defeat graciously.
Especially you, Ashton.
The more you try to force your way to the top, the less people will like you. Accepting defeat will have the opposite effect.

PS:
Even I am not really an insider yet. But I'm smart enough to know that I should keep my head down, help where I can, and enjoy the free food that occasionally gets thrown around.

PPS:
Where is that giant birthday cake I ordered for Captain Kwok?
The FBW inside can't hold her breath forever.
