9. Y'all need to have a girl so she can grow up and marry leftykid and they can take over the world.
Or boy/girl twins, I really shouldn't make heteronormative plans for world domination so he should get to pick.

Also, the idea of bibaby pregnant with twins amuses me endlessly.

6. The 17 year olds who will be 18 for the general election can caucus.
I have no idea who the Teenagers of the Corn voting bloc favors, but I'm sure somebody linked the latest polling data in GD:P.

19. but they'll be sacrificed before they can vote in the GE
i know they'll "technically" be eligible to caucus, but shouldn't we be taking into account the fact they won't be able to vote in the GE?

39. We actually have a running joke about how bad he is at sports metaphors.
He came up with one that made sense once and was proud of himself for days. It was quite amusing.

42. You know cars pretty well.
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 11:11 PM by LeftyMom
Which is cool, cars are waaaaaay more fun than sports. Watching anyhow, I lurves me some floor/street/ice hockey, mostly 'cause I have aggression issues and it's a fun way to deal. At least as good a way to deal as driving too fast.
