This is my new favorite word.
Today it is mine too. The stupid, she is spreading to coworkers. You do not need to have me type a name and a date. You need me to do other stuff, but that? I think you can handle.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I guess we can talk about the pedophile posing as a 12 year old with the assistance of three other sexual predators living together in Arizona -- that is a real scary situation.
I can't imagine someone NOT suspecting a 29 year old man sitting among seventh graders. From his mug shot, he doesn't look THAT young.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

From the NYT article, teachers suspected he was older-- an abducted child, say. Other kids thought he may have been held back. But obviously he managed to fool a lot of people at several schools that he was under 18, so I'm guessing the harsh lights of the mug shot don't do him justice.
Every other city government is sitting there thinking, "OMG, that could have been me -- hey, that convention of cartoon executives that wants to come to town next year, are we sure we want to okay that permit?"
I kind of doubt that one.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I taught some 13-year-olds who looked WAY older. Tall, shaving, the whole shebang. Most of them look much younger, but you get the occaisional giant.

Donating a thousand Lite Brite sets to a children's charity would not be the best choice.
but really, really, funny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can I get a link to the pedophile story?

Gotta love this city when a sports team finally makes it into the championship game. First, they put helmets on the Art Institute lions, and now the brachiosaurus outside the Field Museum is wearing a Brian Urlacher jersey (suitable upsized, of course!).

Dear lord, I wonder what they'd think of the led flashy beads that will be thrown from floats for the next few weeks.
