What's on your mind today?

Does she have to be truly impressed or would you settle for delighted and amused?

Resaon I ask is that any 12 year old with a Claire's nearby can procure and wear a tiara.  It's really not that hard or impressive.  It would, however, be really funny and kind of charming in an offbeat kind of way.  You'd have to follow it up with a great and quirky personality though.  Funny quirky guy in tiara is funny and charming.  Weird quiet guy in a tiara is probably planning to throw you down a well and wear your skin for a party dress.

LOL. I was thinking more of a "I'm not impressed" attitude, rather than a "oh that's impressive" response. So yeah more find it amusing, break the ice and take it off. If they keep it on there's your warning.

My brother went on his first date with his current girlfriend in a kilt to try to break the ice. I'd say it worked considering they have been dating for about a year and a half.

That's a great story.

Can't sleep. Too excited about our trip. Curse my husband and his ability to fall asleep so easily.

...Only if he did it true Scotsman style in high wind.

Overheard exchange.

Daughter: A three year shot his father!
Wife:  Is he dead?
Daughter: Yes
Wife:  Well what were they doing with a loaded gun in the house?
Daughter:  It was in America.
I assume my wife responded with an ah right, that explains it nod, I was in another room though.

Ah perhaps I shouldn't laugh but I found that a bit funny.

XD Great parents *laughs*


( i seriously don't understand how a three year old could get access to a gun. Oh man  )

[Recusant]

Old Rusty has developed a squeak. I think a ball joint is saying thanks for playing... Those are a weakness of older VWs.

I hope that doesn't put a crimp in your vacation plans!

[Asmodean]

Unfortunately, it will not.

I've located the source and gave it some grease, so it pretty much STFU right now. Will need to change a bearing sometime within the next 20000 kilometers.

Yeah, so?  Here in Merica, we appreciate the freedom to get shot by our preschoolers.  When I get shot by my preschooler, I make a tourniquet out of the Flag, and then I smear the whole thing with a mixture of pie and mayonnaise. Then, I go set off some fireworks, and and thank Jesus for writing the 2nd Amendment into the Constitution.  "Dear Baby Jesus, thank you for taking time out of your busy leper-curing and fish dividing schedule to write the second amendment.  Amen."  Finally, I go on HuffPo, in the comments section, and tell some liberals that if they don't want to be prayed at in the public sphere, they should move to Stalinist Russia.  USA! USA!

This is utterly, and completely, priceless.  And likely true, in some quarters, which truth does nothing to mitigate the hilarity.

You smeared blood on our flag???? How could you! Not a real American! A real American would have bled to death first. USA!

Chortlesome in extremis.  A moving celebration of the Frontier Spirit and the inalienable right to take pot shots at people who annoy you.

[Ali]

Hahahaha.  I was a little worried that someone might take me seriously and be all:

1.  While you may be within your First Amendment rights to wear a flag as an article of clothing, most flag experts would agree that using a flag to staunch the flow of blood from a gunshot wound is disrespectful to the spirit of the flag....
2.  Pie and/or mayonnaise have little to no anti-bacterial qualities.
3.  Jesus did NOT write the Second Amendment.
4.  You can't move to Stalinist Russia, as Stalin is dead......

(and so on)
