Shrift, you just made me laugh out loud, which is definitely a first this Monday morning.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

On the upside, I now know the difference between casting and forging!
Also, the industry-recommended amount of closet space for a man and for a woman, the three classes of bridges and two types of architectural structures, and that the same guy founded both Atari and Chuck E. Cheese's!

Thanks for the info, Susan! My sister looks at me weird when I confess to watching "The History of the Gun" show on the Military Channel/History International, but info like that is why I find the evolution of weapons just fascinating. The way that technology is tied into tactics is something that is never discussed in history classes at the K-12 level, and probably should be. Otherwise, you end up thinking (like I did) that the British line, the Civil War bayonet charge, and the trench warfare of WWI were just stupid, but viewed in combination with what they had on hand, they either make sense or explain why the death rates were so high.

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 recently read The Guns of August. Fascinating book. I learned the French were unable to stop the German advance until they adopted trenches for defense.

In goat news...
Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.
And yes, the 757 is now flying

Yeah, I saw that before.
I keep picturing Mal kicking the goats into the 757's engines....

And ita would be on the other side of the engine, waiting for pre-cut goat that she could curry.

Do you freeze up in front of them and NOT LET ME OUT? Because if you do, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get revenge for that earworm because I'll have to kill you.
Since I didn't freeze up at the Giant Revolving Door of Death at the Hyatt, then I think I've justified my continued survival. Really, though, I think that door was trying to do us a favor by keeping us out.
