"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
Being a Navy brat, I did my share of "Dumpster Diving" when I was a kid. I still remember the time in 2nd grade when I had a towel pinned around my neck pretending to be Zorro or some other swordfighter. I took a dive in the Dempsey Dumpster across the street to see if I could find me a new weapon. Sure enough I found a bunch of discarded "items" that I made a helluva sword with. My grandmother was visiting so I ran in the house to show her my new techinique at battling the bad guys with my new weapon. "GRANDMA! GRANDMA! LOOK AT MY COOL SWORD!!!!!" My mom yelled at me and grabbed my "sword" and threw it in the trash, my grandmother laughing her ass off through the whole ordeal. Seems my "sword" was a bunch of discarded tampon tubes that I hooked together to my one long weapon.
:D Priceless :D

ReplyDeleteWhen my oldest son was about 4-5, he found some in the bathroom closet and asked if I used them to put on makeup.
I found a better hiding place after that.
