Apparently we’re not hermetically sealed just yet. Bummer. Gotta watch out for those ‘robes, know what I’m sayin’? Word.
On another note, perhaps related, perhaps not, anything strawberry-kiwi flavored is evil.
Eee. Vee. Eye. Ell.
Airlift it all to Iraq special delivery care of S. Hussein & Sons immediamente. ‘Cuz I said so, that’s why. My tummy hurts. Ow.
Korea as a rational actor? Hah. You funny. Tell me another one.
On another note, I’ve signed up to Adopt-A-Platoon, and have been tentatively assigned 1/4 a platoon (an entire platoon being 40 soldiers) to send letters and care packages to – I’ll know the exact number as soon as they get a group of soldiers matched up with me. I hereby invite anybody who wants to do the same to either hie thee to their website and sign up or email me directly and I’ll include whatever you want to send in my care packages. The Adopt-A-Platoon moms are careful about vetting volunteers as they don’t want no crazy-eye types mailing our boys and girls the ‘thrax and take their time about screening you and assigning you a soldier or soldiers to support, so be patient if you want to sign up directly with them as it won’t be instant gratification. There are lots of kids who join the military as a way out of bad home situations, either just to escape or to give themselves a chance at job training, a college education and a stable environment that, until a few months back, probably seemed a lot safer than where a lot of them came from – and lots of those kids don’t have anybody back home to send them care packages or letters or even postcards, so whether you’re for or against the war, please support our soldiers in whatever way you can.
Ed at Ed’s Blog has a great suggestion that I think I’ll steal implement immediately (thanks to Skits for Aortling him):
“There’s all this talk about human shields floating around here. So I thought I’d throw it out that I’m interviewing for my own human shields, to shield me from the various crap I have to encounter every day. I’m interested in getting human shields against boredom, work, poverty, really really ugly people hitting on me, other people in general on the subway, people who step on my feet in bars, annoying people, bad weather, depression, doubt and others. Many opportunites are available.”
Y’all feel free to sign up with me now, y’hear? I’ll be gentle…
