    Summary

    "The toothpaste tube theory is a jocular metaphor stating that increasing pressure eventually forces some sort of release, just as when one squeezes a toothpaste tube, toothpaste comes out. It is used to explain social and political behavior, as well as relationships involving abstract concepts. Moreover, it is often used in metaphors to describe irreversible processes, since getting toothpaste out of a tube is easy, while reinserting it back into the tube is next to impossible."

    There was so much stuffing.

    Summary

    Her mouth is full of something. She swallows, unthinking, but it gradually fills up again. It takes her a few tries to realize it is blood. Her right eye is gushing blood.

    Her mom is on the floor in the kitchen. Ragatha stares at her. Her mom’s face is scalded, brilliant red, and portions of it are already bubbling up with blisters. The jamming pot is dented on the floor, the glass jars smashed across the kitchen tile. The gas stove burns merrily away. A shard the length of Ragatha’s pinky finger protrudes from her mom’s throat. She is unmoving. She looks a little like a mannequin.

    My mom is dead, Ragatha thinks, vaguely. It is not particularly believable. My mom is waiting, she thinks, and that seems more fitting.

    Ragatha loses an eye. She has a couple of bigger problems.

    Summary

    Fun thing about being a male victim; you aren't. Not in any respectable person's mind. Certainly not in Wilson's mind.

    Stacy Warner had always been this way.
    He, on the other hand, used to have enough dignity to leave the first time.

    After a bit of wingwomanism from Cuddy, House and Stacy rekindle their relationship much to a jealous Wilson's dismay. It doesn't take long for shit to hit the fan.
