msbelle? Can I hear the story about the pirate?
Natter 58: Let's call Venezuela!
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.
a crazed employee of a cruiseline assaulted me as I disembarked the ship, something about wanting a picture, and I think I shoved him away while maybe taking a fighting stance. There may have been an elbow thrown. Basic krav defence stuff for an attack from behind. Apparently it was hilarious to watch. I was completely in the right, all I'm sayin.
eta - and might I add, your mom sounds like a perfectly reasonable woman.
My mom just called. She was walking in a mall, when suddenly she saw a shadow in the corner of her eye and felt someone touching her bag. She turned around and punched the guy, hard.
I guess the doctor learned not to sneak up on her!
I have nothing but respect for women who know how to use violence, and they are absolutely right.

She is!
I think that if we all defended our personal bubbles with violence, people would be much more enlightened as to the existence thereof. A cold shoulder and a stiffly offended look can only do so much!
I wish that every woman that was brushed up against grossly on the subway, or worse grabbed in anyway would take an open hand slap to the guy's crotch. Of course, it is hard to have that in mind when it is happening unless you have trained a lot, I think.
Again, I agree.
I think msbelle might have landed an instinctive punch on the photog's fake parrot, too.
Go Shir's Mom!
Oh my. I must make these. (But not from a box mix.)
Note to self: Don't mess with Shir's mom.
Rocket scientist Noah and his amazing flying machine may be the cutest thing ever. The Buffista kidlets have pretty much broken my cute meter. Also, I still love that tuft of hair that sticks up like Sweet Pea's.
