funny about Obama not reciting the pledge of allegiance (untrue). I always skip the part about "under god". I just take a beat between "nation" and "indivisible". Mom & Dad's bocce club recites the pledge before events. At the Lucky Leprechaun Dinner and Dance I was standing close enough to Mom to hear that she's an "under god" skipper too! We've never talked about it.

Apparently today is Food Suggestion Susceptibility Day at b.org.
Would help if I'd'a gotten a full lunch.
But man, I never thought I'd be so suggestible as to be all, "Oh, man, fishsticks! I haven't thought about those in ages!" I don't even like fish! What's wrong with me?
On the other hand, I do like breading and ketchup, and I'm guessing that's what those mostly are.
Okay, I'm really not doing work. I'm going to go home and not do work there.

I dislike seafood, especially shellfish, but once in a while I have to go to Long John Silver's for fried clams.

Grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches and tomato soup.
Want.
I have Kraft cheese slices and Campbell's in my kitchen just waiting for Lent to end. And, of course, the Girl Scout cookies.

However, I plan on having a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner, now. Must remember to pick up tomato soup on the way home.

I have to go meet with our insurance people. What happens if there's no one to exchange insurance information with? If he's convicted of vehicular manslaughter, does that trump our dents? I mean of course it does, but how do we get them fixed?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I always skip the part about "under god". I just take a beat between "nation" and "indivisible".
Which, of course, is exactly what the guy who wrote the thing in 1892 intended--even more, he was a Baptist minister, and he thought about adding "under God" but then discarded it as too sectarian and exclusionary and unworthy of the America he was pledging allegiance to. That line was added two decades after his death. It's not very likely that anyone will ever bug you about it, but if they do, you can always blink innocently and point out that you're saying it just the way that nice Baptist fella wrote it in the first place.
