Was this meant for the rant thread?
I am visiting family in Houston right now. It happens to be my sister's birthday today. She is not with us, unfortunately, but we video chatted with her briefly. My nephew, who is 2&1/2, was climbing all over us and being his usual adorable self. My sister and brother-in-law on the other side being amused by his antics. At one point, the nephew stopped and pointed to the screen and asked, "What's THAT?!?" Being the helpful uncle I am, I pointed out that it was my brother-in-law, Drew. Nephew then immediately exclaimed, "THAT'S A BUG!!" To which I corrected him, "That's UNCLE Bug to you." So the nephew picked that up right away and asked my sister if she kissed him. She said yes and the nephew then asked, "You kissed A BUG??"
So, that is the story of how my brother-in-law got named "Uncle Bug."

It is on.
The Medieval Market.
Four days of performing as a Medieval person, living in the fair city of Turku in 1385 AD. The forecast promises heat, maybe a little drizzle on Friday and then a downpour on Sunday. The air will be thick with the scent of roasted almonds, pig-on-a-spit, dust and the collected vapors of tens of thousands of people packed in a small area. There will be cries and calls, tears and laughter. There will be legs that feel like bloody stumps, backs that need a good rest, throats that have gone hoarse from projecting one's voice in the wrong way, sunburns in that one place where you didn't put the lotion, aches in places you didn't know could or would hurt, dehydration and madness, madness I tells ya!
It's gonna be awesome.

Coward! There is concrete documented evidence that Sauna Pants existed in Medieval Finland. Of course he is wearing them.

You know, my role is the newly-elected bishop, so technically I can now excommunicate and condemn your cat-eating hairy ass to hell for continuing that abomination of a bastard meme.
Just sayin'.
Help Help I'm being oppressed! If only an Admin could save me from this religious assault!

Other than student loans, I will be debt-free. Couple that with Kerri getting her job & that means things are finally looking up. I guess I'll keep paying for this place.
