In the right circumstances, I might not object to giving kids AK-47s.
Let's have some national pride and give them M-16s.

Punishingly Intricate
Oh! My friend's dog who she thought may have had a stroke is doing much better. They still can't figure out what happened but she is eating, drinking, and, most importantly, walking on her own today. Thank you all for your good thoughts!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know what's the worst? Having to identify the racial background of all of your coworkers, especially when you don't all work in the same place. But even when you do! Like, do I put someone who I know is biracial in black or white? (We decided on other.) What about the woman who is Guayanese and possibly of South Asian descent, but we don't really know? (We decided on other for that one, too.)
Note: It's easier for us to come up with possibly faulty percentages ourselves than to ask HR, who may or may not ever answer.

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

New Lincoln Pennies Unveiled: See Pictures Of Each Penny
The first of four new pennies chronicling Abraham Lincoln's rise from a small Kentucky cabin will be put into circulation Thursday to honor the 16th president's 200th birthday.
The coin's front is unchanged, but the reverse depicts a tiny log cabin, representing the one-room dwelling where Lincoln was born near Hodgenville, Kentucky.
The new one-cent piece is being unveiled by the U.S. Mint as part of Lincoln's bicentennial celebration, being held Thursday morning near his birthplace.
The remaining coins, set for release later this year, show other phases of Honest Abe's life: a young man reading while sitting on a log during his formative years in Indiana; Lincoln the state legislator speaking in front of the Illinois capitol; and the unfinished dome of the U.S. Capitol.

Skipping-what-else-is-new to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is PixKristin's birthday.
Happy birthday, Kristin! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Also, IIRC, even if it's not on the Buffista Calendar, MFNlaw is Kristin's birthday's sister, so lots of wishes for her as well.
And belated wishes for -t, whose birthday was yesterday (they're belated because I didn't manage to have any computer time yesterday, alas. I'm sorry about that).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I just hauled over 3,500 pennies to the CoinStar machine last weekend.

I first read that as "penises".

So it wasn't on "National Be-Hispanic Day"?
