Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When's the last time a Bajan blew something up, had a bomb in his shoe or sniped people in DC, or shot guys on the LIRR?

Maybe they just have better PR.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Police sources also unofficially named the fourth bomber this afternoon as Lindsey Germaine, a Jamaican-born Briton.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Google news search on Jamaican. Sports and hurricanes don't even come up until the 4th link!

So far.

Maybe they just have better PR.

Or they don't think big enough.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Top 50?

the new Bluebook while the thread turns over...

Buying or selling a used car?

I think bon bon was perusing the latest edition of the legal citation handbook. It's an AP Style or MLA manual for lawyers, 'cause we have to be different.

Nope, that's from last August. But the picture I saw looked just like that. I think someone at DH's work took it.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I just read a news article from 1972 that has a picture of Fred Pete. Perhaps not our Fred Pete, but it was fun to see.

I think this is my first time before 100.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Egad, new thread, huh?

I just ate a grilled cheese sandwich, but I'm starving. I think I'm going to eat a banana as well.

OMG, I eat like a toddler.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Three of the last four things I ate were a banana, a muffin, and peanut butter on toast, so don't feel bad.
