the thing cost $250,000 to build, and I can't help thinking a lot of hungry and homeless people could have been better helped with that money.
WORD.
Also, I was wondering what it was made out of that was so flammable. Resin. Makes sense.

Catching up on natter: flea - just how did your dh respond to Owen? (I laughed . . . and I'm afraid I might have laughed had I been in your husband's position.)
ION - 245 lb alligator found at lagoon on campus (here in Northern Illinois!) - kind of makes me happy that I haven't been walking to work.. .

Allyson, I'm constantly behind, but I in fact live in Columbus.
I also love The IT Crowd, the name Terminator Jesus, and am craving a Skyline coney.

Also: calmer minds thinks that the "new" Dekalb alligator is just a retelling of the story of the 2008 story of the alligator found in the Kish that August. (It was a 2-3 ft long alligtor.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Sorry I'm standing in the way of your minimalist Bauhaus-esque fascist snoozefest. Maybe sometime you should take off your black turtleneck, stop compulsively adjusting your Tumblr theme, and lighten the fuck up for once.
