FTR: being forcibly moved or transported in any way counts as kidnapping according to the law-enforcement segment of my training. e.g.: someone breaks into your home, points a gun (or knife, or banana) at you, and makes you walk from the bedroom to the bathroom under threat of personal harm...that counts as kidnapping. Makes it easier to pile on charges in criminal cases.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
A high level Pakistani diplomat has been rejected as Ambassador of Saudi Arabia because his name, Akbar Zib, equates to "Biggest Dick" in Arabic. Saudi officials, apparently overwhelmed by the idea of the name, put their foot down and gave the idea of his being posted there, the kibosh.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Good luck with Snowpocalypse, Easterners! I feel guilty since we've had a very mild winter this year.
The only bulk place we have is Sam's Club. We only go there in dire cases. I wish we had a Costco.

Before the snow starts I am going to the food co-op. I am crazy, but I am hoping to find challah.

Imma stick with meerkatting. Also I'm going to recommend he just not do it, because it freaks me out. He's very quick and silent.
"Prariedogging" vs. "meerkatting"? This a cat people vs. dog people thing, isn't it?
Java, I know friends of mine who bring caseS of wine home to MA with them from Napa, since they can't get them shipped.

I vote prairiedogging. Meerkats huddle, but prairie dogs pop up at random out of many different burrows.

Hmm, maybe I'll do Costco today, if I get myself moving enough to leave the house. I'm off for four days after a big project that practically drove me to a nervous breakdown finally wrapped.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This a cat people vs. dog people thing, isn't it?
Yes, because I can be characterised as either, and it would so definitely be the cat if you could choose.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Not snowing yet in my section of DC. Government is closing four hours early.
