Is a complementary remark like a complementary angle?

Is it patrolling the speed at which those threads turn argumentum ad Hitlerum?

That would be a real PITA for him -- he would have to search all over the house to find where he left it.

Crap, what the hell was I thinking, so much for the casual scan of the word mansion, since I posted, it has been mentioned 27 times

Speaking of "houses", I wanted to contract a lawn care company, and since TruGreen pis$ed the hell out of me last time, my neighbor recommended one, it's called "Ransom"

Not exactly the word that you associate with lawn care
