I did not know prior but according to the NY Times, it's a lapel pin representing the crest of the 187th Infantry Regiment. www.uniforms-4u.com/p-army-187-i...

I wonder if they legally changed their names to be more dinosaur-like.

As a pleasant surprise, the song would have kept me lingering in the store.

I enjoy the Jem ink, as well!

Admittedly I enjoy your photos because I always get lost in your eyes. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Once and only once. It's an experience I will liken to slathering Icy Hot on my private parts.

That is adorable! It's so nice to have such a supportive team.

You're trapped in the last tv show you watched. Where are you?

I have a legacy membership from SF Great America and was looking forward to checking out some additional parks. St. Louis was a regular place to visit. I was excited to finally have access to parks like Schlitterbahn, Valleyfair and WoF starting this year with my pass. Sad to see them go. 😒

Is MAD Magazine still around? This seems like something they would do.

He waited until the day after the primary to say this. He also followed the modern conservative script of grasping at religion and claiming it forgave him. How convenient. 😑

Under what authority is she there? She's not the ambassador to the U.N. and I don't recall her ever going through any kind of confirmation hearings.

It's an absolutely worthy endeavor! I had the same problem for a little while with the word "the" at the beginning of sentences, but every so often a mid-sentence "the" still gets changed to "the the". It's maddening.

My family invited me to a hockey game last night. It was a fun time thanks in part to dollar beer night and the team won in a shootout.

It makes absolute sense. Why be in a quiet car, otherwise?
