Even "silly and barbaric manpris."

That's hilarious. I hadn't thought up a name for them myself. But considering the alternative is riding horses in togas, I'll give those soldiers the benefit of the doubt.

They may be too soft to ride sans pants, like the Celts, but they did import the hypocaust to Britain.

I was hoping for full frontal nudity in the screencaps...

Laura Bush implied today that the television footage we've seen doesn't reflect "what really happened."

its, have a wonderful time in Kenya! I hope we get to hear all about it. Kenya is definitely on my list of places I hope to visit some day.

ita, have fun in Kenya!

Thanks, guys. I don't get on the plane for almost another 24 hours, though, so I'll hold the well wishes for then.

That's how I operate every. single. day.

At least you have a family, Cash. I'm spending undue cycles wondering if I should pack running shoes.

Actually, this is where I look forward to the moment the plane doors close .. when it's too late to second guess having to do more. Whatever's done is done, and there's no mitigation and guessing for hours and hours.

Right now I just need to call it quits for the night.

I just saw the episode of Columbo where Mr. Spock Leonard Nemoy was the killer - it was fun. And TDS was great too. But on the down side, it's midnight, I just got home and I'm still wired. Vodka tonic is being consumed.

happy birthday a day late to Lyra jane

and sending the car ma~~ to Theo.

I've been skipping and skimming thru Natter. I had to ban myself from talking about NO and the hurricane response. I don't rant. honestly, I think it is in poor taste, and not useful. Get me started on this - and off I go . Even at work, on the floor of the library, where I am supposed to be neutral. So I have to not talk about it .
