You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

You think so? I think blackberries are a whole different shape, even in that picture, though black raspberries tend to be shinier than red ones are. I agree that black raspberries don't really taste much like red raspberries though.

Well, I guess I mean in terms of the size of the non-baby bumps (seeds?). In that picture the black raspberries seem much closer in size to the raspberries. But, when I was growing up, we grew raspberries and had wild black raspberries, which were much smaller. But that was perhaps because they were wild. But, yes, they are shiny.

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

I had an enchilada.

burrrito, tiggy!

Though I'm having a chopped salad. Mmm... salad?

Also, not thinking of modern romances, but of the classical, chivalric questy ones.... would Huck Finn qualify as a romance?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I also cannot explain my complete and utter loathing for the term 'baby bump'. It just seems really invasive and embarrassing, or something.

When I was in England some years ago I first heard "bump" so it always just sounds British to me. (Though I don't recall hearing "baby bump")

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

what are people eating for lunch?

I don't know.

i can't think of a single thing that sounds good.

Me neither.

But I guess I'm leaning towards KFC. Or maybe pasta at the Italian place....

Black raspberries look like smaller, more compact raspberries. See pictures here: [link]

Going by the images, the feralberries are definitely blackberries--though they run a little smaller than the marionberry/blackberry images, they have the same loose structure/large bumps, rather than the tight structure of the raspberries.

So terrible about Ted Kennedy...

Ooh, that's a thought. I haven't been to the Jamaican place in a while. And it's gotta be better for me that KFC, right?
