I’d....flag this comment, but I’m a grey.

Ah, but it sounds like you haven’t had cactus meatloaf, made with salsa/green chillies and sun-dried tomatoes.

Sorry for the pedantry, but what you’re referring to is an initializer. An acronym is an initializer that can be pronounced as a word, e.g. ‘scuba’ or ‘radar’.

Please tell me that picture of her is ‘shopped.

Squirrels are tasty, but don’t eat the brains. And that is some higher-level hunting, but I can’t imagine the bird population isn’t suffering from outdoor cats.

Arguably, she’d be no worse than Trump. Alternative history is kind of interesting to read, but it’s not terribly substantive (I’m looking at you Guns of the South). 

The fact that s/he makes a case for not following vacuity is something you’re against?

Please tell me actual scientific documents have shown people like this die sooner from all of the hate.

If the investigation is in the hands of the NOPD, that’s like having Rudy Guliani as your attorney.

Krispy,

When I was but a lad, in the late 60s/early 70s, it wasn’t uncommon for the Saints to lose by a score of 63-7. Consistent tanking has been done before.

Drew,

Here in Kamloops, there’s a row of shops with an Asian restaurant sharing a common wall with an animal hospital. I don’t think that there is a pass-through window between the two, but I don’t know that there isn’t.

I’m glad they did! Now there’s less money for gunnuttism.

Drew,

Non-sequiturs level - masterful, sez we.

Sauce, Count, sauce.

Cactus and other succulent plants - like me, Bill’s a cacsuccer. 

Bill stopped at our plant show in San Diego’s Balboa Park one year - he couldn’t have been nicer and generous with his time for a couple of hours (and he spent a lot on plants, too!).

Finally, someone I can flesh out the finer points of my dreams with! Thank you, CW.
