Today is going to really suck and last waaay too long. I think I'll be feeling like this by 11:00 tonight.
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.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
That is horrible, Kat. I hope it gets nipped.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Jeebus, Kat. I hope those little shits get stomped on hard by the school and their parents.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Kat, that's terrible. I'm glad you reported it and I hope those kids get in big-ass trouble.

Kat, that's horrible. And disturbing, and just sad.
Also, what Scrappy said.
Tamara, so sorry for your loss.

Kat, what everybody said. Unacceptable.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
OMG, Kat. Children often suck and those particular ones deserve to be taken down a few pegs.

Sigh. It was just a topper to a day that was otherwise really positive and enjoyable.
In other news, guess what came in the mail yesterday? The shorter OED! I am so excited!
eta Good Lord I'm a nerd.

I would've been excited, too, Kat!
Of course, highlight of my week so far was coming home to a collection of Wellington's letters from 1794-1815, along with a biography of the Marquess Wellesley (i.e. Wellington's oldest brother), so it's possible I'm pretty high on the nerd scale myself.

I hope those little shits get stomped on hard by the school and their parents.
I would never hold my breath that parents will do anything. I am consistently horrified by what parents deem allowable, and also by their own behavior. Parents meeting at school/afterschool/YMCA are like torture for me, what with the speaking out of turn, speaking over presenters, walking around, cell phone going off/being talked on, children unsupervised and allowed to roam/play loudly/kick chairs, asking questions that have been addressed....
