I've seen bodies falling thru the air next to burning World Trade Centers way too many times; bloodied Hussien corpses not nearly enough.

Amen to that!

You will be happy to know how well behaved your students have been today.

We totally took over one of the Kobe Bryant threads and thrashed the poopoo outta a couple of trolls - and not one of us got zotted!!!!

You are probably right, but I saw the original movie at Panama City Beach, and went right back into the gulf the next morning. I'm scared of a lot of things, but a big old Hollywood shark just doesn't faze me in 3 feet of water.

I don't know why, but I must come up with some scenario disputing your tagline.

I think I should increase my medication.

Hitler Youth Redux. To quote my grandfather, to my great-uncle Pete (both approaching 50 years of age at the time) when WWII broke out: "I guess we'll have to sign up again. I guess we didn't kill enough Germans during the last War." At that point grandma blew a gasket, but, heck: women!

(Paraphrasing Wodehouse:
Character A: Women! What a sex! There ought to be a law!
Character B: But wouldn't that put a damper on a continuation of the human race?
Character A: Who cares about the human race?)

We have to take care of our own - and one of the nasty nico-nazis was picking on honeygrl on that thread.
