Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

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.

I have not had a root beer float in years, but I prefer the hard ice cream to soft serve (which I grew up calling custard???). I think coffee ice cream would be scrumptious.

If anyone is a My Chemical Romance Fan, or even knows who they are, whic video is hysterical. It is a video made to look like they are singing NSync's "Bye, Bye, Bye"-- I saw it on my friends list and almost died laughing.
