Well, to be honest, I thought krav first. And then I died laughing.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Did we ever discuss what Nutty would be wearing in this contest?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Hivemind question -- what's an appropriate monetary (or gift card) amount for a high school graduation? I was thinking $50, but I don't want to appear cheap. It's for my cousin, who I'm not terribly close to, but that's more a matter of distance and a 15 year age difference than my feelings for her.

Wowza! Lovely picture, ita!
along with his young daughter who had been frightened by a mosquito in her own room
I can picture her lying there and thinking that perhaps mosquitoes had been the better option.

Vortex, I think that's totally appropriate.

Ha! I had the same thought. It also made me wonder, are the mosquitoes really big in Israel, or was it more of a "West Nile virus/EEE carrier" kind of scared. Also, this:
"This kind of thing doesn't happen every day,"
Cracked me up something fierce.

I could swear that Doc Martins were mentioned at some point.

Agreed.
I've been up since 2:30. This is going to be a long day.

Trust my rage
Vortex, I think that's good. Joe always scoffs at what I think is appropriate, but I think that's a good amount.

Since Nutty is a sensible sort, I'm figuring she'd be wearing the bear-proof armour that that Canadian inventor came up with.
I'm impressed with the leopard-wrestler, who remembered to be kind to animals...

Trust my rage
ION, my coworkers hate me. We've all been assigned "a box of cases a day". I've been able to do it because a) I'm good with Excel and b) I work fast, but now everyone's shooting me dirty looks and sort of bitching.
So, I'm wasting some time here today so I don't look like such a tool.
