I now want to do a lifecycle and environmental cost analysis on Nerf guns vs. marshmallow guns.

My brother is conducting an experiment with marshmallows. Well, he & the kids are. Left some out on his back deck. Since August. Still recognizable, despite rain and snow and heat and ants...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

New Guy called a 8-8:30 meeting. He hasn't come in yet. I bet he'll make it here for the 9 meeting he called, because that one involves his boss. He can't be that self-destructive.

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

wow, y'all are like the opposites of most families I know here where guns toys just do not exist.

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

Like Gud, I wish we had Nerf guns. When I was about 8, my brother and I would play Star Trek. So I made "phasers" out of Tinkertoys. My "phaser" used rubber bands to shoot a Tinkertoy piece out of its muzzle. That thing could have easily taken an eye out....

Oh yeah, once my older brother shot me in the arm with a BB gun. I cried, so he said I could shoot him with it to get even. I didn't see the point to that.

Well, that was my family! Now, nsm.

I mean, fergawdsake, my father joined the NRA. I'm not real clear on the logic there. Something to do with S&R, I guess. He loves to tell people this, because if they know him but a little, their reactions are classic.

The Betsey Johnson coat is lovely.

I think it's a back cookies day. Also, the christmas decorations are all boxed and now they need to migrate to the garage.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Edit: in the picture, she's wearing a short-sleeved shirt. I don't know of anybody who would wear a wig for religious reasons who would also wear short sleeves.

She's asserting her right to bare arms.

Oh, that was painful.

A gimme, but painful.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Of course it's painful. Orly Taitz is involved.
