"Florida State Rep. Wants To End State Ban On ‘Dwarf-Tossing’ To Increase Employment Opportunities For Little People"

[link]

“To me it’s an archaic kind of Big Brother law that says, ‘We don’t like that activity,’” Workman said. “Well, there is nothing immoral or illegal about that activity. All we really did by passing that law was take away some employment from some little people.” [...]

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Well, there is nothing immoral or illegal about that activity.

Does this guy understand what "illegal" means?

(The rest of the comment is too stupid to even warrant a reply.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Jilli, you must post peektures of your dad dressed up!!

Making me happy today: looks like I've found a place to live after my lease here runs out, if not sooner; I went looking for specific things and purchased only those things; having off on a GORGEOUS day; puttering around a bead store; consuming very very good and authentic pain au chocolat and latte from the French bakery. Can't wait to try the baguette!

I'd like to toss that FL state rep... with a trebuchet.

I will, believe me I will. He was asking me about dying lab coats today, and said he's going for a mad scientist ala Tom Swift and His Electric Grandmother. My Dad is such a geek.

Your dad is a gem. And, possibly, a steampunk convention will be the perfect setting.

Because books.

I think the geekiest we've ever been was when Jake went as Mario and Ben went as Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory. Two of my favorites.

Sara wants to be Cleopatra this year. I think they're on another Egypt unit at school.

Introducing him to other SF geeks with an interest in building improbable and infernal devices? These are his people. Seriously, this is going to make the convention for me.

How about Hatshepsut? After marrying her half-brother and watching him rule (well enough) and then watching his son (by another wife) rule (not so well), she decided she was going to rule. And, when people objected to being ruled by a queen, she announced that she was the king; had a long and prosperous reign.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

When I was coming up with cat names back in 2004, I knew I had to get something Egyptian, but Cleopatra was a cliche, and the only other women I could think of were Nefertiti and Hatshepsut, and how do you abbreviate either of those names? So I went with Nefertiti and Ahnknaten's capital city, Amarna.
