It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Shrift, it's better for them to think of you as an adult (or mom) cause honestly, if teen boys think you are hot, teen boys have a tendency to fantasize and really, do you want it to be about you?

Not so much. I'm sure it didn't help that we were all dressed up in wedding clothes. Mostly I was just pained by the stupid. I haven't had to put up with a gaggle of average teenage boys for a while, and I'd forgotten what it was like.

Which happens to be on the anniversary of... Ruby Ridge? Or is it Waco? Or is it both?

Waco, I think it was because of Waco.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm trying to listen to the live coverage, but it is very confused. How awful for everyone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I googled - it wasn't Ruby Ridge. For some reason I seem to recall that in addition to Waco and the Oklahoma City bombing, something else happened on this day.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oklahoma City was April 19, not today.

Well, Battle of Lexington and Concord. Though I doubt that's what you're thinking of.

Columbine was April 20. (Also, Hitler's birthday.)

The Spanish fleet in Cadiz harbour was sunk by the English on the 19th.

Huh. April 20 was also the ATF raid on The Covenant, The Sword, and The Arm of the Lord. Which I'd never heard of until I just looked it up.
