Makes me feel real old, though. I feel like yelling at the kids to get off my glacier!

...I love you.

Hey, are you guys still swinging through my town on Friday? Email me if you are, I'll let you know, er, where I live. :) lundervillain at gmail dot com.

The Redhead and Girl Genius are. I'm staying home for a long weekend of quality time with the Bonny Wee Lass here.

I'll forward your invite to them. Maybe I'll forge a prescription for Stoughton's Curative Elixir to bring to your workplace, so you'll know it's them. Give your co-workers something to reminisce about.

"Back in 2010, I actually got a Stoughton's Curative!"

"I'll see your Stoughton's and raise you one Doc Smiley's Wonderpills!"

They never did their computing by starlight while sitting in the primordial ooze.

They never met anybody who ever had their own pet dinosaur.

They think that Richelieu is a salad dressing.

They don't remember a time before there were history books for there to be footnotes in.

I have ordered Marcello Mastroianni in a restaurant, and I have been served it.

This makes me laugh like crazy.

I would like it to be known that I have worked at least one 60 workweek!

And I have been on several dates without a chaperone! Be appalled!

Shameless hussy! Next thing, you'll be wanting to vote and own your own property! And don't even get me started on the calisthenics in school; why, back in my day, there wasn't even a Title I!

Thanks for the laugh. marveen August 10 2010, 14:05:00 UTC
They have never worried about being scalped by injuns!
...in fact, they think it is politically incorrect even to bring up the subject!

Um, actually I am informed by those who have Been There that certain people in the Middle East have recently had to worry again, as some officers allowed the Native Americans under their command to carry and use scalping knives (conceding the argument that it is a traditional cultural practice/weapon).

On a related note.... http://fearsclave.livejournal.com/971909.html

A friend of mine talks about the Gurkhas and THEIR traditional weapons. Heh.
