Gorgeous pics!

For what it's worth I think your comment about the "grass having been cut" was very interesting and insightful. I'm not sure what the purpose of the training was but I'll take a misinformed guess that they were trying to train people to all see and respond in the same way. And if so that's bullshit. To truly grow, learn and work together it takes all kinds of perspective. The most interesting room is one full of people with different perspectives.

Oh there are plenty but recently he declared my husband to be a "Bert-hole." He knows how to say and use the word "asshole" but in this case he replaced "ass" with his own name. They both love to irritate each other.

Mine occasionally does a swearword role call. To be fair he came to me with this vocabulary and I don't have kids so I let him get it out of his system. What's really funny is that he'll mix and match words to make up something completely new. I have to make sure he doesn't see or hear me laughing at it to ensure he isn't getting the reaction he wants. First rule of parrots is that if it gets a reaction it's game on.

I did a lot of weight lifting in HS because of this.

Considering this is in a doorway I'm going with Wepwawet.

I don't blame him for not wanting to do entire soundtracks anymore and I'm glad he's going to keep making music.

Oz came before the Sopranos. I dare say Oz turned all drama on it's head.

Maybe if they actually used mortuary cosmetics on him he might look more lifelike.

Please don't forgot to wear a helmet when riding on 4 wheelers or ATVs. I've seen far too many life changing injuries on those damn things. I forced my own brother to get a good helmet when he had one and it saved his life. He flipped the damn thing on top of him and only came out with a shattered wrist. His helmet cracked like an egg but his head was fine.

I for one would be really excited to get a free scorpion.

My heart aches for this woman. She tried to speak out against gun violence and these assholes twisted her story for their own sick ends is beyond reprehensible. I don't understand how shit like this is legal. It's a double punch against justice in that it's not only a blatant lie but it serves to suppress others from speaking out.

I dare say that the shoplifters aren't even bothering going through the self checkout as a pretense.

My first thought was that Mackie's bland acting killed Altered Carbon and now it's killing Captain America. He has absolutely no charisma on his own.

This is like the character Orlando in Tad Williams' Otherland series.

Very nice looking snake and set up!

That's really sad. It's the equivalent of putting lab rats in a cage with a cocaine/amphetamine button.

We should have a law that keeps religious organizations from receiving Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements. That would stop this shit real quick.

I don't know why this triggered my brain but I can't stop imagining this in my head and laughing my ass off.

We've been watching Playing with Power and I'm usually lost by turn 3. I don't necessarily want to play cEDH at that level but watching them has really improved my ability to keep up with triggers.
