The worst (best?) insult I ever heard was "Mike Fair was a lousy quarterback and an even worse politician"

Yeah, I was under that impression too. I'm happy I chose the Columbia metro region.

No - I am actually now tracking the days before either a) the government decides it's a stupid program; or b) I completely snap and end up mailing them a bag of poo*.

How are rubber band guns not on that list?

I had one of the hair braider doo-hickeys that they sold for little girls. My brother had to end up running to my bedroom cutting knots out of my hair more than a few times.

That image is priceless. I can't stop laughing.

OMG I had those and ended up with a black eye after swinging them too hard.

Yeah, that's basically what the lawyer advised him - that if the cops won't take a report, he kind of has to play detective: photograph any evidence, screenshot any messages/texts, keep a log of instances of harassment. By the time he appeared before a judge, he had more than enough evidence to get a TRO against his

He totally is.

That is fair enough - I think local enforcement might be different (and probably illegal), though. My husband's friend had an ex-girlfriend who was a complete psychopath: she keyed his car, fucked up a bunch of his shit, and then broke into his house and bleached his clothes and furniture.

I'll look up an article on it but I know it was all the talk back in the late winter/spring.

I absolutely loathe to take South Carolina's side on all matters domestic violence, but part of the reason that they are being sticklers about this law is because the loathable Mike Fair (R-Greenville) wanted to give Stand Your Ground Rights to fetuses. Like, if you thought your kid might be abused by their father,

OMG I forgot all about that stupid sweater with the holes and how Serena was bitching about it being cold. IT WOULDN'T BE SO DAMN COLD IF YOUR SWEATER WAS IN ONE PIECE, SERENA.

This is the most appropriate response ever.

I love his mole - it is really cute on him!

I went to public school, so no. One local priest (not my priest) did flip out on me for reading Angels in America though.

It requires an e-mail and a mailed letter. Not to mention thousands of calls from concerned family members that always end with "what do you know? you're just an assistant!"
