Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

::makes note to shoot Hec, to shore up his hyperbole::

More hyperbolous? "I felt like I was shot with a rail gun loaded with shurikens!"

A lot of people with strained muscles compare it to getting shot. (I didn't think it was a bullet, but I thought somebody had nailed me with a pellet gun.)

Yeah, he said the pain was like that. Plus he heard a "pop" when it happened. I'm guessing not good.

Yeah, see! Fortunately, it's not a long term problem. Unfortunately, it hurts and is easy to reinjure. You have to baby it for about six weeks.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Shurikens covered with fire ants!

Doused in the venom of box jellyfish!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Short recovery~ma to Dave! Hearing a pop is scary.

I'm really sad that I'm pretty sure Minnetonka moccasins are racist, because Casper wants a pair.

This is one of those dilemmas in there are so many "on the other hands" that tie me in mental knots.

  • Moccasins appropriate traditional Native American garb, but similar shoes have been made throughout the world. Most Minnetonka moccasins don't have Native-American-inspired beadwork.

  • Minnetonka is a Dakota-Sioux place name, so it's not directly co-opting a tribal name.

  • It's a family-owned American company.

  • The shoes are mostly made in the Dominican Republic.

And you know they won't like that. Gets 'em all riled up, it does. Them's fightin' fire ants.

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

So I shoot Dave too. No problem. I'd wait till he heals to be nice, but that will make the comparison less accurate.

And...that was tasteless.

Interesting lifehacker post about your rights taking photos: [link] . Interesting commentary too, but in the end I feel no less hesitant about candids of strangers than before.

They mention "expectation of privacy" and AA in conjunction a couple of times. Does AA have a legal expectation of privacy, or is it inherent in the name, or the rules of the organisation? I mean, how far do I have to go to establish *this* roomful of people having an expectation of privacy, when the group that meets in the same room in an hour might not?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Box jellyfish who were angered by raging anemones!

Yeah. During the next six weeks we are supposed to: finish the school year and close up the house, travel to Kansas, board meeting, vbs, travel to Illinois, wedding, music festival, travel to Indiana. And then the hard work starts. Including more vbs and a camp and then an eight week, ten state tour.

So.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

"Pretty bad tear" is the verdict. Walking cast for now and ortho guy later.

This is not super compatible with the above outlined agenda.
