Well, no wonder. It doesn't follow the old news dictum, "If it bleeds it leads."

No blood, no story. Move along, nothing to see here.

Joanna said...: A little OT, but hey ...

One of my favorite stories is the one where my mom's brother was mowing the lawn and was about to run over a snake. My grandpa saw, pointed, yelled "SNAKE!" ...

... and my uncle looked at him, still moving forward, and shouted back, "WHAT?"

Makes me giggle every time, and I wasn't even born then. Such is the way of lawn mowers. And snakes.; 3:47 PM, July 16, 2009

What about the grass? I hear it scream, ripped and torn with your terrible compulsion to impose "neatness" on Gaia's beautiful chaos.; 5:35 PM, July 16, 2009

Joel said...: Hey, that ain't nothin'. Today two guys and a woman went out for lunch, stopped in a health food store and a supermarket, all while openly carrying guns, and...nothing happened. No mayhem, no blood, no sheeplike citizens fleeing into the streets amid horrified shrieks; nothing.

Just like every other time. I really like it here.

On another note, man and wife went out to lunch today while carrying pistol. Nothing happened except for a nice lunch.; 9:56 PM, July 16, 2009
joe said...: Yes, but did you hear about the guy who rode on a bike trail and AROUND CAMPUS with a 9MM? No? Well, nothing happened here, either.; 10:24 PM, July 16, 2009

You mean some people DON'T carry while mowing??

In other news, in Tennessee, firearms were brought into close proximity to food and alcohol without resulting in a chain reaction or shootouts over condiments...
