sometimes...

when i drive to work, i just slide around on the ice a lot and it's terrifying.

then when i get to work my boss says, "how was your drive?" and i tell her.

then she looks suspicious like i'm trying to find a reason to go home early and grills me about whether i put my chains on.

so now i just say, "it was fine," which is not a lie because i did, after all, make it to work.

Hm.

Why won't you let me be your brother in Christ, kate?

Why won't you let me hold you to a higher standard?

For even if you do it unto the least of these...

Do you know what the most striking color contrast on the planet is?

I'll give you a second to think it over....

It's yellow on black, that makes the most startling impression on human eyes.
I only joke thus, because it is so obviously not the case, and just wanted to highlight the contrast for you.
Your taking such umbridge to it is truly a credit to your character.

I am impressed with you.

(our fear of yellowjackets is estimated to be 30% visual)

i believe that. MY fear of yellowjackets is estimated (in a study conducted by me, just now) to be nearly 80% visual.

although once i had one in my room for nearly a week and i believe we had reached a mutual fear-based peace treaty when my roommate killed it.

also thanks. =)

also i wish i could communicate how much i appreciate that you used the word "umbrage."

even if you did spell it like the name of the harry potter character.

My very best men are still locked in heated negotiations, trying to broker that elusive fear-based peace treaty with clowns.

The only element lacking is that my fear offering is my inconsistent spelling and they find don't find that fritening enuf.
