I... actually agree with him entirely, and have pontificated on this to my workmates on occasion, but I'm still somewhat uncomfortable with my government dissing yours so openly. I don't see it making diplomatic relations any easier.
I agree with him but it's startling to realize we're at the point where other governemnts can say so publicly. But perhaps it's like how if you never talk about Uncle Steve is a drunk, it's easier to ignore. And we're edging nearer an intervention.
Yeah, just wait until we invade you. Provided we can actually find Australia.
Look for Hobbits and then zig right?
so it's going to be an exhausting weekend in which I earn lots of parental karma-points.
I am earning what had better be a decade's worth today, tomorrow and Saturday.
Though I'm also going to blow through them if my family doesn't figure out group texts. Motherfucker.
Is that a Mercedes?

NOOOOOO! That takes you straight through the Mines of Moria!

Why??
Oh, sorry I disappeared for a few hours. But here's the answer: my kids play the old 'jinx' game, you know the one where you both say the same thing at the same time and yell "JINX!" and whoever says it last or forgets to say it is jinxed and can't speak until someone else says "pickle juice!" At least pickle juice is the current safe word. When I was a kid it was Coca Cola.
Ok, there is so much about this story that does not fit my previous impression of the Amish: [link]
'jinx' game
We always said "JINX, you owe me a coke." There was no rule about silence or a release word.
Okay! I finished work.
Sheesh. Am tired. Talk to you in morning.
Heh...in college, it was "Pinch, poke, owe me a toke!"
Skipping yet again because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Sophia Brooks' birthday.
Happy birthday, Sophia! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Ooh, this is relevant to our interests: members bought The Well from Salon!
