Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It would be fantastic to see you again, Karl!
Hooray, Sean, I'm glad you're coming up here!!
I am listening to a podcast and they kept using the word chickenhawk about the military. I was so confused because I thought it was a term for an older gay man who sought out younger men for hook-ups.
One suspects there might be considerable overlap between those two populations.
It's also a title of an excellent book by a Vietnam vet who flew helicopters in the war: [link]

I have to say the term always makes me picture Foghorn Leghorn picking up. But I really had no idea about the military!. The book looks good.
I think it refers to the kind of people who haven't seen much combat, but get really geeked about sending others...if it's a blogger, I've also heard them called things like the 81st Fighting Keyboards and the like.
One of my customers inquired about availability of totes for carrying lasagna pans with the subject line "Inquiry Totes Urgent". Every time I'm skimming my e-mail I think T-rex is contacting me.
I should archive it or delete it or something, but it's making me smile.
