I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

my HS experience just doesn't fit into the standard nerdometrics.

true for me also, but more because the school was just too small. 25 people per grade doesn't lend itself to true cliques. Still, I refused to be in the invitation only writing group or play on the academic game show thingy - so nerd can't apply.

Starbucks is handing out free coffee on November 4th to voters.

Krispy Kreme is giving away free donuts. Though possibly not here in California since it's illegal or some such crap.

ION, has looking in one's rearview mirror before backing out of a parking space become less of a rule and more of a "suggestion"? Because some stupid bitch just hit me with her car as I was walking across our office parking lot and she seemed fairly unapologetic about it.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

All-girls Catholic school meant that we were all in our own separate cliques. My "clique" was mostly just the more normal girls whose main thing in common was honors classes, but not always (my best h.s. friend wasn't in any of those classes with me, and now I can't even remember how we first met--might have been band), and we had cheerleaders and pom-pom girls, and some jocks as well, who were all in the same classes as us.

The only types that we didn't have in our group were the sluts, the toughs, and the druggies (mostly the early dropout girls--harsh titles, but that's what we called them). Oh, and the snobs, but that was because they wouldn't associate with those of us whose daddies didn't give them Porsches for their 16th b-days.

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

The pig wins (the lion runs away).

Also, has this been posted? Cheetah Loose on Delta Flight

* You are now free to be devoured by a cheetah *

From the AP:

ATLANTA - A Delta baggage worker got a bit of a fright when she opened a jetliner's cargo door and found a cheetah running loose amid the luggage.

Delta spokeswoman Betsy Talton said Friday that two cheetahs were being flown in the cargo area of a passenger flight from Portland, Ore., to Atlanta a day earlier when one escaped from its cage.

Talton said the airline summoned help from an Atlanta zoo but not before the Cheetah had devoured a stewardess and three others that had tried to use plane's restroom (Zooillogix may or may not have added that last part). Experts rushed to a closed airport hangar and tranquilized both animals and took them back to the zoo.

Talton said the airline is now working to get the big cats back to their owners. She declined to identify the owners, citing Delta's privacy rules.

The good news for passengers: The cheetah did not damage any of their luggage.

Dude. DUDE. You okay? Also, when I was in drivers' ed, the rule was that you actually turned around and looked when backing up, with the rearview mirror as a distinctly Less Okay option. Also, you okay?
