Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

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

and I vote for shiny ponies, a surprise bag of money, more humane politics and politicians, and a beverage of choice

This is the kind of public policy that I fully endorse!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Shir, THESIS!!! Congratulations! I know it was a long haul for your brilliant and very deserving of all the honors self!

You've got my vote!

I'm just poking my nose in here to say I haven't done my greeting cards yet, but I fully intend to still, so don't give up on me! I bought stamps last week fully expecting to get them out this past weekend, but my still-not-quite-back-to-normal GI system had other ideas. But I will yet prevail!
