hummph - lunch was good, but it doesn't feel like enough. Now I either have to go out for afternoon snack or eat the bag of Happy Cola Gummies in my desk.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
When I'm an evil capricious overlord, the result of each calculation will be 17.
But... then it wouldn't be prime any more!
Gazpacho is raw, salsa can be either cooked or raw. Either can be tomato-free, but the tomato versions are by far the most common.

Swouncing
both gazpacho and salsa have raw tomatoes in them, and quite a lot of the nasty things, too, but there are so many other spicy things added in that I don't even taste the nast
Oh, then I can't eat them.
I sometimes try, though, just to make sure (And to ease my mom's mind that I'm not being an evil capricious overlord food-hater). Never worked.
But... then it wouldn't be prime any more!
Oh, it would! That's the whole beauty of being an evil capricious overlord (which has initials almost like CEO. Coincidence?).
But I changes my mind. When I'm an evil capricious overlord, all *grades* will be 17, and I'll never have to grade ever again because all grades will be the same number. Like all-kids-named-Dave in the Dr. Seuss story. How to tell the grades apart will be the problem of my trusty minions, so as an evil capricious overlord I will not need to worry about that.
I don't think I've ever typed the words "an evil capricious overlord" so many times in my life. Well, maybe the "an" part of it was already typed more. But I'll probably never forget now how to spell "capricious".

I'm all excited that my birthday (ONE WEEK FROM TODAY...ahem) will make me a prime number again.

I was happy that mac's Kindergarten graduation last year was just an in-room thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My coworker was thrilled that her son's recent sixth-grade (?) graduation was a half-hour in the morning, including awards.

Well, I hope you all are happy. I am now sick from all the Gummi candy.
I have yet to hear if there will be a 1st grade graduation. I hope not.

And you thought Buffistas were pedantic about regional pizza:
From this summer onwards the Pizza Napolitana will be recognised by the European Union as a "regional speciality", with the same rank as French Champagne or German beer, which means anyone selling it in Europe under the official title, Pizza Napolitana, should theoretically be subject to strict inspections.
The rules published in the European Union's Official Journal were drawn up by the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana (the True Neapolitan Pizza Association).
The new law states the pizza must be no more than 35cm (14in) in diameter and no thicker than a third of a centimetre at its centre, rising to 2cm at the crust.
The tomatoes must be the San Marzano variety grown in the fertile soil at Mount Vesuvius' base.
The oil: extra virgin; the cheese: buffalo mozzarella. All the ingredients must be from the Campania region.
The oven must be wood-fired, and the pizza must cook in less than two minutes.
The director of the Real Pizza Association, Antonio Pace, says his organisation will take restaurants to court if they advertise Pizza Napolitana and are not making it according to the agreed rules.
"We are protecting one of the most ancient and most important gastronomic traditions," he said.
