But I'm guessing you had your name written on the board behind you, so I dunno.

Yes. That's precisely it. The kids who aren't in my class calling me Miss? I get that. But Louis who is in my homeroom and in my 6th period class and who got lost and spent some extra time with me 3rd period? He has no reason to resort to Miss.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

OK, on the prison show I did NOT see that coming. Suh-weet.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

From somebody posting on the NOLA boards:

**********

O.k., just was able to determine the following from the aerial shots:

Massive flooding in the Lakefront-area, with the water roof deep. Images on WDSU of a Coast Card rescue of someone from a roof-top via Helicopter. Numerous roofs are gone.

The area around Paris Ave. & Robert E. Lee is totally flooded, water up to the rooftops, probably a good 7 feet deep. Also Looks like Gentilly is almost totally under water.

Looks like a good bit of the UNO campus is under water towards the London Avenue Canal. In fact, it looks like the area between Bayour St. John and the London Ave. Canal, from Robert E. Lee to the lake, is totally flooded.

City Park is flooded, almost 3/4 of it now looks like a swamp. The golf course is totally submerged to Marrconi.

The Yacht basin at West End is clogged with sunken boats.. looks like the wind coming from the North on the West side of the storm stacked the boats up in a mass pile, and it looked very much like the Southern Yacht Club is on fire, but on the side facing west end point.

This is hard to comprehend....

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I thought it was the one-eyebrowed baby.

No, my nemeses are original and specific, and constitute Farsi, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the Girl Scouts of America.

Poor Girl Scouts. What have they ever done to you?

They thwarted me in my attempt to see the White House. But revenge, like gazpacho, is a dish best served cold, and my day shall come.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

wonders if Billytea's revenge recipe is in the buffista cookbook

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Trudy, I'm watching too. Do you mean the blueprints tattoo or shooting the bishop?

"First, take the Girl Scouts of America." Unfortunately, at that point I always add 'in a manly way', and I'm too busy giggling to finish the rest of the recipe.
