YOU are the person Teppy was talking about!!!
Hah! It's TRUE!!!
If I were ever to obtain a handgun without knowing its provenance, I would certainly have the serial number checked out, just in case.
Yes. And then I'd want to learn how to use it. Hrm. However, usefully, the two-stepping gay leather daddy who got me to be Ms. Santa is also an NRA instructor! (How bizarre is that??) I'm thinking of asking him to teach me, just for fun.
when I was 18, my boyfriend gave me a gun for my birthday
....is this a New Mexico thing? Or did I just not hang out with the right crowd??
he was travelling and didn't get licensed to carry a gun in the states he was travelling through. He got stopped for speeding and was searched
So, no taking a gun on a roadtrip?
I'm at home making calls to very shocked and sad people.
Oh, that's tough. Strength and good luck in that

The sad thing is, I wouldnt' have gotten this as wordplay until you mentioned, and then I had to go "huh? OH!"
Its right up there with coffee grounds on vomit.
Huh. Only time I've heard of those together is "it's bad if your vomit looks like coffee grounds"...
Yay semester done, Gloomcookie!
Oh, and last time I had friends over to watch ANTM, I offered to make cookies. Only then I realized I hadn't yet bought flour and sugar (I had chocolate chips and butter and eggs, though!).
So this time I said "I know I have the ingredients, I'll make cookies". Got home, and I only have half a stick of butter. Can I halve the recipe?
Can I halve the recipe?
Totally. But, warning, you end up with less cookies.
I'm OK with fewer cookies for the moment--I plan to make more (cookie exchange at work!) soon, and will need to restock ingredients anyway.

Do you have anything else in the shortening family?
Jen, all my ~~ma and prayers are on their way to Boston.
Thanks so much, Aimée. I really appreciate it. I just keep thinking, "OK, she was stable enough to go straight to the OR. That's a good sign. And the surgeons were happy enough with the results of the surgery that they called in the plastics team to fix the cut on her forehead while she was still in the OR and under anesthesia. They wouldn't have done that if they were thinking of it as life or death thing, or if she wasn't tolerating the anesthesia." Y'know, a nurse pep talk.
But I still can't sleep.
Hurrah for Christmas booty!
(No, not
that
kind of booty. Shame on you!)
Yesterday I scored some L'Occitane goodies and a double packet of imported TimTam wafer biscuits.
Today I have a Christmas box of Hershey's toffeenut thingimabobs
and two PotC figurines!!!!
One of Cap'n Jack Sparrow, and the other of Davey Jones! Because one of my kids is the daughter of my awesome fellow geek co-worker!
Best. Christmas pressie. Evah.
(Oh, how I laughed at the people sporting Really Awful necklaces from the large family of kids whose mother's elegance belies the awfulness of her gifts. Yes, last year I was one of those people. This year - this year, I have
Captain Jack!!!)

God, it's like 2007's determined to kick Buffista ass while is still can!
The sad thing is, I wouldnt' have gotten this as wordplay until you mentioned, and then I had to go "huh? OH!"
Well, I looked at it askance to start with - but he's all about the poetry and the wordgames, so after a moment I was all 'Aha! Clever!'
