  1. legion, Have you ever spent any serious amount of time in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, or Southern California? [I mean more than, say, a vacation.]

  2. Anyone remember Malcolm in the Middle?

    Legion’s five-words–per-line posts remind me of Malcolm’s friend Stevie. He was the smart funny kid in the wheelchair who had to take a deep breath every couple of words…

  3. “I am NOT going to be making any jokes today about Crist!”

    Tie ‘Crist’ jokes to ‘Yo Mama’ jokes and I will declare you brilliant.

  4. Expert, I think you can use “there’d”, but it seems to me I mostly just hear people say that rather than see it written.

    Ask Arkady, she’s the word master.

  5. cobble,
    let’s approach this from another angle,
    police officers across the nation have the
    right to use deadly force when necessary.
    this is not specified a particular situation,
    it is left to the officer.
    this is why they are professionals.
    And yes I’m aware of cases where they overstep the
    boundaries and they are few and far in between.
    Most officers go through their entire careers without
    even firing a shot at a suspect.

    I may not believe in Santa Claus any longer,
    but I haven’t yet lost complete faith in the
    people who choose law as a career. Every one
    of the persons I have met over the years have
    come across as serious and dedicated individuals.
