Speaking of the games--have you guys been following the whole chic-gymnastic thing? I mean, anyone with half a brain can tell that the chinese contestants are not 16 years old. I know that chic-gymnasts "often look young", but this is ridiculous. They look like they're in the 5th grade. And now, the bloggersphere has uncovered cached documents citing otherwise. I hope china gets nailed on this one. They're a bad country doing bad things--and the US press doesn't have the balls to admit it.
I've watched some of the games, and I enjoy the coverage that I see. It's just that I've never been busier in my life--so since Phelps won his last one, I've been out.
In a totally unrelated thread, I've purchased an M1911. Side arm to US troops from WWI through 'Nam. Actually, it's just the pellet-gun version. Why, you may ask? Because this dumb dog next door continues to crap on my PGA caliber lawn, as well as aggressively growl at my 3 year old child. I'm starting with .2 g bbs, and we're moving up from there. It's a shame I can't legally shoot the handlers; they're the ones at fault here. Yes--it felt strange to do "research" and look at unboxing videos posted by 12 year old kids. But if a .2 gram bb traveling at 240 feet per second doesn't get Marmaduke's attention, then we'll just have to take it up a notch.
Finally--this is going to be one heckuva year. As you guys may or may not know (or care), my chair got removed from power last year. A lady in my dept got moved to chair, and I'm GPC. (#2 guy in the dept.) (I'm the youngest GPC on campus--by about 10 or 15 years...) For whatever reason--probably just to torture me--the ex-chair won't leave. And she's just a miserable, miserable person. I can't stress that enough. Just an ugly miserable (in every way) person. A saboteur of her own life, and everything around her. The students hate her, the staff can't stand her, she's got no friends...truly one of a kind. And it's hard guys--having to: 1) put up with her, if not (2) try and continue to demonstrate Christ's love. In any event, this is the first crop of students that are 100% ours--so it's put-up or shut-up time. Dang do I ever hope this is a good year; it will be a direct reflection on me. Who gave me all this responsibility, and where can I return it?

I think its hilarious that you couldn't reduce yourself to buying just any old bb gun, but had to purchase a replica model used by US forces. I'm absolutely certain this will make all the difference in the world to "Marmaduke" as he's takin' it in the hindquarters. You crack me up.
I'll keep an eye out for your episode of Judge Judy.
What I find funny is that you instinctively knew that I spent a few hours looking at all the options until I found *just* the right one.
Yeah--Marmaduke's about to enter the house of pain.
Courtney is making me disclose my numerous tactical pants and shorts.
