My understanding is that expulsions have actually risen under DADT though
That's the impression I have gotten as well. It didn't work.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I just got to touch a plane engine (Cessna 150 series). I feel like squeeing like a 14 year old meeting musicians from a local band. It's so nifty! And I got to touch it! I'd say I'll never wash that hand again, but there was a gasket leak, so nsm. I'm not sure the simile tracks that far.
The engine reminds me of the engine in my first car--a 1976 VW Dasher.

Excellent, Calli!
Sometimes I can't tell if it is Loki bolting bunny-style up and down my stairs or the little girl next door running up and down hers in hard shoes. I think that says something about how noisy he is. (I really can't hear much from next door, usually. )

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Lycoming or Continental?
Either way, air-cooled, flat four -- not much different than what was in the original VW Bug.
Now I'm reminded of Bill Cosby's routine about Fat Albert's car, with the "Cessna airplane engine."
eta: Wikipedia tells me that the 150s have Continentals, it's the 152s that have Lycomings.

Oh, good. 'Cause I had no idea. Now we're learning about fuel. (Carolina Blue ftw!)
Oops. They are 152s so I guess they are Lycomings. I'll have to look those up when I'm home.

OMG, y'all! I just looked at the foot of the futon, and Loki and Devi are curled up next to each other! I don't think Devi knows (she was there first) but it proves my theory that him being such an asshole to her is him wanting to play and being a kitten, not actually trying to piss her off. [link] He slid into touching her just now.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Did he just take a swipe at the SCotUS?
