So, basically, I feel like if you don't have a parapet, you're already screwed.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
“You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
There go my weekend plans....
“You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of your garment with which you cover yourself.
Guess I'll spend the weekend making tassels instead....

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm less inclined to boggle at Ms. Duggar for becoming pregnant at 41 (though she should be aware of the health risks, but that's true at any age) than for the child being her 18th.
When J names were being tossed around a bit ago, I'm surprised nobody mentioned British pop/R&B singer Jamelia.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The parapet is so that, if people are sitting on your roof (as people did in those days), they won't fall and get killed. Now that there's no one sitting on most people's roofs, it's probably not so important. I think that various other "keep your property safe so that strangers won't get hurt on it" things can substitute now.

But that just makes sense! Where's the fun in that?

Or Jay-Z! Who occasionally refers to himself as "Hova", short for Jehova, no??? Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Ooh! I know this one! The rabbi taught it to us in fifth grade. It's because an ox is so much stronger than a donkey, that hitching them to the same plow might lead to the donkey getting hurt.
Orthodox Jews still do the tassels thing, too. At Jewish summer camp one year, we learned how to make the series of twists and knots to make the tassels the right way. That was fun.

Punishingly Intricate
Although the Duggars just might do that one, which is why their clothes are all so bad.
bwah! yes
