Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Random history-related question: how many dead people would you think would be necessary before you'd call something a massacre?

Because books.

how many dead people would you think would be necessary before you'd call something a massacre?

Wouldn't it depend on context? If someone killed everyone living in one house (i.e. John List killing his family of five or six in the 1970s) that could be a massacre. But as a societal thing? I think it depends on how much of a specific population was wiped out.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

vw--I was once stuck at Schipol (the Amsterdam airport) for 5 hours. it's a good airport to wait around in--they have lots of chairs and newstands and a McDonalds and also nice coffee shops. They also have a massage booth and lots of nice little shops. I'm sure they had a pleasant time there--and now they are winging their way home!

I would think so.

Columbine is considered a massacre.

What is even happening?

I didn't think d was Dee, because d does post, not often enough, but still. I wonder who Dee is.

Come out, come out, wherever you are, unless you're intent on a massacre, or something.

Cindy's tag is making me think of yams.

Sending vw special early ~ma because I might not be around at noon.

Sadly, I'm a yamless sahm sham. But it made me think of yams yesterday when I copped it from beth's post, too.
