Interesting, Todd. It makes me wonder how spontaneously occuring the phenomenon is. It's entirely possible the DA writers read Lackey and used the concept. But those homeless kids in various locations couldn't all have had the same influence, at least it's not likely. It's the commonality of the legends and vernacular that intrigue me.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I shared the clicky test on FB a day or two ago. I think they are actually testing something other than trying to guess your age. Pattern recognition or something related to age and taking the offered breaks?
Can I go to bed now? I just turned in my timesheet for the week and a headache has decided to appear. Plus I have to deliver CJ to ARP HQ by 4:15 AM (!!!!) tomorrow morning. The team is providing first aid support for a 20km, 50km, 50m, 100km race. (Kinda glad the race isn't IN Denver proper both due to recent news and due to the 420 smoke out).

I totally could have gotten my swim in had I gone as usual. But not now.
The concept of a rest day is lost on me.

All I've got is hard cider, so that's what it will be.
I expect it will be an early bedtime what with... everything.
I bought ice cream sandwiches. They are supremely comforting and delicious.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Now I want ice cream sandwiches, and a Manhattan.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ice cream sandwiches sound good. I think I still have not had a Manhattan? And I don't think I have the ingredients.
I got a notice that I maybe Parton a settlement related toleveebreaches during Katrina. It's kind of freaking me out a little. I don't know why, exactly, but the wiggins, I am getting some.
Gin. Time for gin.
