    I'm trying to decide if choosing your friends by the smell of his ass is a hardboiled or noirish trait. I'm also a bit pressed to find anything remotely hardboiled in my Bichon Frise. amoral perhaps. but hardboiled, not so much. and I do have to wonder if an individual with 9 lives can truly be doomed. maybe, if you've used up 8. but that's still more chances than most of us get
