APPM: Yeah. It sucks. It'll be like, another 5 hours before we can get home... Yeah, I will.
Nathan: (waits to board)
APPM: Yeah. Ok. See you later - oh wait!
Nathan: (waits to board)
APPM: Yeah, Mom: don't go to Walmart tonight.
Nathan: (waits to board)
APPM: No, I said DON'T GO TO WALMART TONIGHT. There's going to be, like, a gang initiation there.

Overheard at the Airport

Apparently this isn't a sea war
From USA Today:
"U.S. combat deaths in Iraq have flattened at the lowest level since the war
began six years ago Thursday, and the Navy has not lost a member to combat in
more than a year.Three Marines have been killed in combat since August, and
none since December, records show. The Air Force hasn't had a combat death since April, and the Navy since February 2008. "
Well, no shit. It's not like we're traiding 20mm shells with Iraqi task force groups.

Well, If It Needs to Be at Least 100 Proof...
From an article entitled "Top 10 Weird Uses for Vodka":
"Many people have reported that if they immediately pour vodka over an area that has contacted poison ivy, the alcohol will wash away the culprit, urushiol oil, and they won't experience an uncomfortable reaction. Some have said that the vodka needs to be at least 100 proof to work.
Others have argued that straight rubbing alcohol works better, but we're guessing you may not have that as handy if you are on your average picnic."
And who the hell packs straight 100-proof vodka to an 'average' picnic? Your summertime daytrips must be more interesting than mine.
