Baby Billy is character from The Righteous Gemstones, which if hilarious if you've never seen it. It's about a family rich televangelists, also with John Goodman and Danny McBride. Pretty much what you'd expect from an HBO show... I haven't finished it yet, so no spoilers, please. The "running through the house with a pickle in my mouth" is from a religious song he sings about mischievous children trying to avoid Satan. It's pee your pants funny.

The actor, Walter Groggins, also starred in the Fallout show as ghoul badass and cowboy. He's in a few other things too. Brilliant.

Love Baby Billy, Gemstones is a great show. You should check out Vice Principals on HBO/Max when you get a chance. Best Goggins role ever imo.

I saw your face on your .com profile, and I think you have some pretty awesome eyes. I remember them shining.

Oh dear does this sound like I am leaning a way I am not actually leaning.

Oh, nice! What eras of history do you love? I adore Ancient Rome and WWII.

I love all history. But by coincidence my favorite areas are... Ancient Rome, and WWII. I have big soft spots for Ancient Greece, Egypt and Sumer too.

Nearly all my writing is set in WWII.

I am currently working on a novel set in Greece during WWII, and the subsequent Greek Civil war (1941 - 1950)

Republic or empire??

I prefer Empire, just because as a kid my first ever "chapter book" was Rosemary Sutcliff's Eagle of the Ninth. I was hooked from that moment on.

[Counterpoint]

This is fun! I was a piano major for a few years in college. Counterpoint is the art of combining multiple independent melodic lines that sound harmonious when played together.

My image is of a Montblanc fountain pen nib. I write first drafts on paper with a fountain pen (often a Montblanc Classique) to avoid what I call the "tyranny of the delete key." I’ve uncovered through the evolution of my process that the path to better writing leads through deliberate inefficiency. Internalizing the idea that you can’t easily modify what you’ve written prompts deeper consideration before writing. This mental “pre-writing” results in more deliberate sentence construction and a stronger logical link between sentences. After all, clear writing only results from clear thinking.

My avatar is a composite of four images. The Cassini spacecraft and Saturn's rings are from NASA's gallery, the eye is mine, and if you look really closely you'll see a Python listing on my iris.

Please look closely. There's a bug in that code. Let me know if you find it.
