As far as home defense goes, I'd be scared of the tragic potential my own accident prone-ness would give a handgun. But I have either a hockey stick, broom handle, or metal shower rod in every room. And highly caustic cleaning supplies that would take a lot of the fight (or at least aim) out of an intruder in most of them.
Also, I know where all the windows are located and all but the bathroom's are big and low-silled enough that I could push an off-balance person out through them without too much trouble.
Here's the TWoP recap mentioning who was there:
And then Jed walks up to some of the old gang. We see Danny (standing with his hand on C.J.'s back), C.J., Toby, Kate, Charlie, and Will.
No Leo, Donna, or Josh.
eta: oops... Later, there is a line where Josh comes in.
I can't think of any way to keep a gun safely and be thinking of using it for self-defense in my apartment, mind. I'm just not going to get enough lead time in that small square footage. But that's part of the problem of stickfighting too. Room to swing.
Ah, well. Nobody better attack me.
What is man-made leather? I just saw boots described as being of "man-made stretch leather." Did an animal die or not? If not, dude, not leather.
Kat, why are you packing up your classroom?
Because I'm going off track and another teacher will be using the room I'm in while I'm gone.
I'm pretty sad about John Spencer. I wonder if they knew he had heart troubles when they wrote the heart attack stuff from a few seasons ago?

Cool music-finding website. Might work better in IE than Firefox.
That's funny, Gud! I am using it right now, AIFG!
Well, it's playing me Prince right now, so it wins.
Of course, Prince is what I typed in, so it's a bit of a gimme.
A frog would be kind of festive, as long as it was sparkly.
I'm not sure if it's sparkly, but a frog in a tutu seems pretty festive to me.
Does knowing it's completely par for the course make it more or less offensive?
For me, neither. It's offensive. The only thing that made me give it a half second pause, was wondering if whoever wrote the title was stuck in gronk while trying to make a Tru Calling/Jewelry pun, and didn't realize, but I decided I can't buy that.
I don't remember if this has been posted before - a slideshow of frightened, screaming and/or crying children sitting on Santa's lap: [link]
Nothing says Christmas like innocent children shrieking with terror at a hulking red stranger dragging them onto his lap.
