We managed to determine for a paper Sis was marking that we're long beyond first or second place as murder capital. That might just make us #3. Dunno.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Allyson, under Ringtones there is an option to Make Your Own and that's what you want.
For an iPhone you will do all of the adjusting to perfect your ringtone (39 seconds max, I think under 30 for tones you want to use as alerts and alarms), click the button to create it and then you'll have to download it and throw it in iTunes where it automagically shows up as a ringtone and will transfer over to your phone easy peasy. Myxer will walk you through that part once you get to the the Make Your Own also.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Well, I went downstairs to eat leftovers and watch Bridesmaid's and Dan had found out all but the last Dies Hard movies were on. I hadn't seen the first Die Hard with all the cussing, and then I'd never seen the one with Sam Jackson. So we watched that, and then Bridesmaid's. Which was pretty damn funny.
Kansas City's nickname among the cognoscenti, by which I mean gangbangers and wannabe's, is Killa City. And we DO have a startlingly high murder rate for such a medium sized city. We are the 9th most dangerous city in the US. Missouri has the highest homicide rate in the country in the US for black people, (St. Louis is the most dangerous city in America, that "helps.")
I can't find out how many official reported homicides there were in 2011, but we generally break 100. 106 in 2010.

Well, those are the best ones!

It was.

Oops, I've seen the first Die Hard movie back in the day wit the cussing, but I'd only seen in on cable, expurgated, for a long time.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Growing up in KC I heard gunfire pretty regularly and once encountered someone who had just been shot. I don't recall ever hearing gunfire when I lived in Detroit.

Gunfire and police helicopters were a staple when I lived in Detroit. Occasional helicopter here, not so much bullets.

Good lord, on that list of cities, Cincinnati is only slightly larger than Anchorage AK. Of course, I bet the Cincinnati metro area is rather bigger than the Anchorage metro area. But seriously.

Meara-ing:
Yay rescued golden re-pit bull!
The Beemer sounds very nice.
I like that dark wood, Lee.
I had no idea New Orleans had such a high murder rate, although Nora's analysis sounds plausible.
So, I'm sitting here drinking my coffee and smelling a cassolet slowly bake. Duck fat, man. I am such a convert to the church of cooking with duck fat. The cassolet smells amazing!
