Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

how many dead people would you think would be necessary before you'd call something a massacre?

Wouldn't it depend on context?

I would think so.

Em, there are some interesting things that I googled:

Columbine is considered a massacre.

I didn't think d was Dee, because d does post, not often enough, but still. I wonder who Dee is.

Come out, come out, wherever you are, unless you're intent on a massacre, or something.

Because books.

Cindy's tag is making me think of yams.

Sending vw special early ~ma because I might not be around at noon.

Sadly, I'm a yamless sahm sham. But it made me think of yams yesterday when I copped it from beth's post, too.

a yamless sahm sham

This could be my tag into perpetuity. I hate yams. And I am such a sahm sham, it's not even funny. She says as the baby giggles somewhere in the other room, unsupervised...

I'm not big on yams either, but I do think they need to be part of the Thanksgiving dinner, whether I eat them or not, just because.

My boys are at school. My daughter is going in a half an hour (and then I pick up younger son). She is watching Mr. Rogers. I actually think Mr. Rogers is a better influence on her than I could ever be. But most of my shamming comes from the housewife arena of sahmdom.

Huh. I use made up words more often than is seemly.

Okay, then quickly (because I have to leave) and without googling: how many people were killed in the Boston Massacre?

I said without googling!

According to Roseanne, if the kids are all alive at five PM, you've done your job, Cindy.
