Root Beer Floats,
Yay! Very much so.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Thank you. The Internet has settled the issue.
Backstory: T asked me if there had been any discussion of root beer floats. I commented that this was strange phrasing (as the question was essentially the same one I asked you guys), and that I would be happy to ask the Internet.
Other story: Taking the dog out for a walk, I saw a small fire down the street. As I had the dog's leash in my hand, I pointed and said, "fire." (I feel really good about this level of action. Let's just hope I'm never in a real crisis situation) After determining the location of the fire (largely an issue of which scale of distance to look in), T went over and, with the aid of his Chuck Taylors, put the fire out.
Really, it wasn't a whole lot more exciting than it reads, but it was the minor heroic act of the day (could have ended with tree and/or house on fire if no one had put it out)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
YAY root beer floats. I totally want one now.

Because books.
I love root beer floats! Sadly, I tried some Root Beer Float ice cream that was incredibly disappointing. Nothing beats the leftover root beer all creamy with melted vanilla, really.

Root beer floats: always YAY
Mmmm. Want. I wonder what a root beer float would taste like with coffee ice cream? Would it dilute the pureness of the vanilla-root beer combo, or could the coffee add to the sublime summer pleasure of the combo?
Also -- root beer float -- must be soft serve ice cream, or can use regular? I like both.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
If the internet did not say "Yay Root Beer Floats" I'd say that you've been looking on the wrong internet.
I prefer regular ice cream to soft serve, but both of them definitely count.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Thanks, everyone for the advice. Just gave her a bath and checked the area. It's not hot to the touch but it looks like there might be a teeny bit of pus gathering behind the scar. Since she's as active as ever and acting normally, I'll call the ped tomorrow morning and have them check it out.
I have some local root beer in the fridge and have been inspired to open a bottle. No ice cream, though.
