I think it was too low for decapitation potential, and knee level amputation would have been only inconvenient for half the house's residents (Uncle Franklin already had 2 artificial legs). But still, not fun to have sharp metal come crashing through your house from outside.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

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 almost crushed my dad with a swather once. (A swather is sorta' like a giant lawnmower. Kinda'.)

This is really the natural outcome of Hooked on Phonics. (And seriously, why isn't it Huked on Fonix?)
All of those people need to be forced to do a year of research using 18th C English texts.
Oh, hey, anybody have a link to the COMMics? Or your individual ones?

Thrive to spite them
I only remember doing one spelling bee, it was a classroom one and I misheard the word and screwed it up. I was one of the first out. After that I pretty much stopped doing anything that required me to stand in front of the class. Not because of that incident, but I don't remember doing any kind of spelling bee thing after that.
I'm a terrible speller. Thank god for the spell check function on Firefox.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Once again, sharp things and me are unmixy. Cut my thumb on a blade at work. This is the second time in about a week I've done something like this. Meh.

We should probably keep her away from the front lines of the human/robot lawnmower wars....

I've been earwormed with "Delta Dawn." It started out as the Helen Reddy version, but, thankfully, has morphed into the Bette Midler one.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I set up a COMMics photo pool on Flickr, but it's not very active.
