I'd be annexing the baltics. Pagans easier to kill than mooslims.

Always loved that song.

That was very well done. 

I was just telling Sav that I wanted to go to the Mariner's Church in Detroit on November 10 this year when they have a special service for the crew of Big Fitz.  I want to hear the churchbell chime 29 times.

Did you know that if you drown in Lake Superior, your body will not ever float to the surface?  The lake is too deep and cold.  Hence the phrase: Lake Superior they said never gives up her dead...

Quick Tommy story.  He turned a year & a half (or 18 months if you must) a week or so ago & has been fascinated with animals & animal sounds for several weeks now.  He's doing a good job recognizing abstract representations of animals, and is starting to display that he has an imagination.

Well, I had him with me in the checkout line at Target last week & we were behind this woman with a little girl about his age.  The girl was a bit on the chubby side & was wearing this pink sweatsuit-type outfit.  Tommy pointed at her & started making a noise, which I didn't recognize at first so I sort of disregarded it-- until I realized he was saying "OINK, OINK, OINK, OINK" 

I guess he calls 'em as he sees 'em.

Interesting stuff. I didn't realize that line was literally true.

I can report that three - and - a - half year olds still know nothing of the social value of not blurting out what they happen to be thinking.

As I noted elsewhere, Carl's (loud) observation in the (Italian) ladies' change room at the Columbus Centre: "Mommy, why does that lady have a moustache? Only men are supposed to have moustaches ... "
