mutilated squirrels can't melt steel beams. THINK ABOUT IT

We salute you, America's oldest military veterinarian. Perhaps you can explain the best field treatment for a severed tail, if the squirrel refuses to pay for medical insurance?

Or those sanctimonious holier-than-thou Praying Mantises.

Word to the Wise: Don't ever go on a date with a lady praying mantis. I don't care how lonely you are or how long it's been, she's just not worth it, man.

Well my lawn doesn't stay green. At least it doesn't look like it after the snow melts in June May. [Damned climate change!]

Sounds exactly like a kid who lived in my neighborhood when I was growing up. He eventually did become an adult though and scored a highly-paid position with Chrysler.

And by the way, Home Schooling is illegal in many European countries, especially Germany!

I was led to understand by my SO the history major that it was a quasi racist metaphor for a fighter plane of the adversary having its tail shot off by the victors singing the song, but the timing doesn't make sense so I will have to answer "AOT,K!"

I ran quickly through the comments to make sure no one else pointed this out - but - geese fly north for the summer to lay their eggs and raise their young. The young can't fly south until they have fledged. So the whole - can't feed her young because she doesn't migrate south thing makes no sense. By the time her young would be affected by a southern move, they'd have fledged and would be old enough to decide for themselves if they want to migrate. So it's not her fault that her young don't have enough food. Her young are the ones who choose not to migrate with her. And by their logic - how did geese ever get to survive in the first place? Did they only ever live in places where there were people to feed them bread? Does this woman actually not realize that geese eat grass and other plants? Has she never noticed how many you see on places like golf courses where no one is feeding them bread? And how are there the anthropomorphic animals existing in a place where the humans must provide the geese with bread? Do all animals subsist on human contributions? I mean - the squirrels gather their own nuts. But do they also eat from people's birdfeeders? Are humans the government? Can only humans be in the government? Are the animals being systematically disenfranchised? And who created these colleges? I just realized - the fact that this one goose is dependent on humans makes their whole world so much more confusing! How does this work?????

The prose and illustrations are not as good as the ones in "My Parents Open Carry".

Did you read the part about her being a homeschool mom.?

Oh the "bakers". What aholes. I don't understand why a sheriff doesn't have benefits included with his job? Isn't he a county employee? Civil servant like a cop?

Probably, but just the one -- unlike IntenseDebate, I don't think they accumulate anyway.

I was really into The Three Stooges, and the Addam's Family. Much more practical than academia in the real world.......

Not sure either, perhaps they don't provide bennies if an official is elected?
