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.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Stab them or cut them, Cindy? As far as I've been told, it's hard to kill someone with a stab to the belly -- it's why hari kiri-ers cut in three directions.
If you have no reach, then don't you want a weapon that gives you reach? Knife is good for no aim, but so is a bat.

Allyson already outlined what my survival plan is. In fact, I now want her to live near me so we can combine forces.

I have a bat. I don't have to loot that.

Silence means security silence means approval
Of course, as our culture effectively went plop and died in the mid-90s, it's kind of a pointless response, but old habits die hard when you can still see the ghosts in your mind.
I keep thinking of the WTO riots ("That was because of out-of-towners!") and the girl who jumped off the Ship Canal Bridge ("Seattleites don't yell at people to jump -- that's what New Yorkers do!").
(I'm a touch defensive about this, can you tell?)
Well, you are a native. You were born defensive. Heck, Annabel was born with a defensive look on her face.
