They should inquire whether you've ever committed decimation.

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

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Isn't the trick question whether you've stopped committing genocide?

Trick question!
Well, there was once this box of something-which-had-been-a-long-long-loooong-time-ago-probably-some-sort-of-food in the fridge, left by one of my former roommates, which I had to not only throw out but also pretty much bleach off in order to clear the smell and the greenish-grayish from everything involved. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that whole species (sp?) were prospering there, developing rich cultures (worshiping my former-roommate as their deity, of course, and her hand-writing on the note on the box as her indecipherable prophecies).
But this answer was too long for the checkbox next to the question, so I just marked it "no" (species-cide is not genocide, right? The fact that it's worse is just a problem for the person who phrased the question, no?)
[Edit: sorta x-post with tommy, who used much fewer words for the same purpose.]
[Another Edit: Hmm, brenda, I haven't thought about it this way!]

on eBay: OOAK Needle Felted Santa Cthulhu and Mrs Cthulhu AHA
Yes, it's Santa Cthulhu time again! This year we see Santa preparing for his big night. Mrs. Cthulhu is ready at his side with a plate full of freshly baked ... childrens faces? I guess they go well with milk, since Santa's got a glass in his hand. He's checking his list and filling his bag with little girls and boys.
Santa Cthulhu and Mrs. Cthulhu are one-of-a-kind original works of art. They are needle felted entirely from wool (though Mrs. Cthulhu also has a wire armature to help her stand up straight). Everything you see in the photos is included in this auction: Santa Cthulhu, Mrs. Cthulhu, the stool Santa is sitting on, and his bag of arms and legs. Santa sits about 10.5" tall while Mrs. Cthulhu stands about 9.5" tall. This group of figures is a collaborative work between myself and another artist, Brian East. Just the thing to complete your holiday decorations!
Oh, and we heard a rumor that Mrs. Cthulhu wears candy cane underpants, so we went undercover (so to speak) to find the truth. We now have photographic proof!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday, Gar!

Happy birthday!
I think yesterday was actually Monday! N slept in until 5:00 AM. What a nice LATE morning in our household. I love that he just looked at the window and said, "It's still dark outside. Is it still night time?" Why yes, son, it is.
I made both granola (A favorite recipe that has both almonds and cashews) and peanut butter chocolate oatmeal cookies. And also a soup but soup less exciting than gift food.
