The biggest thing with standing, especially in high heels, is to not lock the knees. You could always tell during a command inspection who had forgotten that advice when the back of their head met the concrete.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Tried to take the Hitchens article from the top, but was defeated again by the horrible quality of the writing, and could smell his rotting soul in every line.
Thanks for that, bon. Hating on Hitchens is an excellent way to start the morning.

President Bush, about to wrap up an intense effort to arrive at a new course for Iraq, now is likely to lay out his plan to the nation early next year instead of before Christmas, a senior White House official said Tuesday.
Bush is giving the country a new Iraq strategy for a Christmas present.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Gud just made me laugh so hard I think I kinda snorted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Squirrels to be given contraceptives
SQUIRRELS are to be given contraceptives in a project approved by Scottish ministers, The Scotsman has learned.
The Executive has agreed to fund research into immuno-contraception for Scotland's grey squirrel population.
Ministers want to know if contraception can be given to squirrels safely and effectively and whether this could solve the problem of the rapidly expanding grey squirrel population and the declining red squirrel one.
I have a better idea. If they're concerned about the "expanding grey squirrel population and the declining red squirrel one," why not periodically capture some grey squirrels and dye them red?
