That's probably when they are most effective.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
They just did the rock throwing story on the CBS Evening News. The story is even more ridiculous than what was reported by the AP. They made the little girl wear a home confinement thing on her ankle for a month. And the mayor of Fresno is frelling Alan Autry, who played Bubba on In the Heat of the Night.
Apparently, the police also called in helicopters to help subdue her. Maybe she's a potential.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The choices were: get elected; win the lottery; seize power. Chris answered, "Seize Power--that's right, right Mommy."
He was really paying attention last November, wasn't he? I loves me some Chris. Kid's smarter than a lot of adults I know.
I gave Owen some vienna sausage-like things that they make for toddlers. He hated them. He prefers shaved, smoked, honey maple ham. We tend to not do potted meat products at our house, but I grew up in the presence of both vienna sausages AND spam (or Treat, whichever was on sale).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Has anyone ever had pigeon? What does it taste like?
Tommyrot, fire on the Purple Line. It's well south of you, but service might still be affected.
Thanks. I missed your warning, but it didn't affect me too much - maybe a five minute delay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a cousin who had all these very precise ideas of how she was feeding her son. I think the first off-list food he got his hands on (he was maybe 18 months) was prosciutto. She tossed out many of her rules after seeing his glee at stuffing a fistful of that into his mouth.

What does it taste like?
Chicken. Smoked chicken.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I haven't had vienna sausages in forever, but I did really like them as a kid. That and cold hot dogs, which are pretty much the same thing, no?

Thrive to spite them
DX -- did CBS News say why helicopters were sent? Did they not realize it was just kids and think there was some kind of...something else going on?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Did they have eight by ten glossies with circles and arrows and a pargraph on the back of each?

Chicken. Smoked chicken.
Huh.
There's a place near me that serves pigeon four or five different ways. I've been thinking of ordering it.
I hate pigeons. Maybe eating one will be sorta like looking into the eyes of your enemy as he dies - you get his strength.

In the interest of full disclosure I should reveal that I made that up.
