Rich realized a universal truth yesterday.
I'll add on another little truth:
When Rich chooses to eat his bullet, the Cake Eater Pad will wind up
becoming famous as a place that he stayed for one night. If this were
London, we'd get one of those blue plaques you see all over the city
that declaim something like, Thomas Hardy lived in the basement for a day. Alas, Cake Eater Country isn't London, but I can still see the historical commission going nutso over this one.
