Go with a hammer.
Absolutely.
Or a roll of quarters in a sock. The unexpected is always the best weapon.
Definitely don't try to use something you haven't practiced with. ita makes a very important point here.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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
Actually, Palisades Park's pool was salt water (it was advertised as the world's largest salt-water pool), so not directly from the Hudson. No idea where they got the water from, and don't really want to know, because I swam in it once.
They piped it up from the Hudson and salted it as needed (it's already pretty salty -- the river basically runs both ways with the tides).
(I've got two sources, a PBS documentary on Palisades Park and the "Make the Hudson Swimable" folks who are pretty darn cool.)

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
Please don't say "Like Girls Gone Wild?" in a hushed tone on your work phone. It's creepy.
Is this the same cow-orker who considers his life an open book, and shares it with you on a daily basis?
I, also, have the same gift. The last time I swung a baseball bat I wrenched my back enough to necessitate 6 months of PT.

What scares me is that I have seen the hearts of Seattleites, and they are blacker than black. Sure, they act all nice, but they're petty, arrogant, passive-aggressive thugs when pushed.
Huh. You really think so?
Or, y'know, What Plei Said.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
See? Another 50 points for Seattle.
Although I probably float better than the less than 1% body fat LA supermodels I see in the Coffee Bean, so if it all floods, I'll be the beauty standard.
Hm.

I feel confident in my bat handling skills. And I'd like a little more reach than a hammer can afford.

Nope, I did not feel piled-upon. I clapped my hands with glee and took notes.

What is even happening?
See, I want the knife on account of no reach, no aim, sucky large coordination, yet fantastic small coordination. It's my last ditch effort. I know what ita says is true, I think it's my only hope.

If I only had a brain...
The information on the looting by police was on the Times-Picayune page, but it seems to have scrolled off (or been deleted) by now.
