Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to
katnboots, suba_al_hadid, tashadandelion and violet_amy.
2. Not that I am ever caught up at work, but I am pretty well caught up at work. I am getting to some things I'd had to keep putting off. Gonna be tough to concentrate the next two days with Northern Region War Camp coming up and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
evilnicola arriving tomorrow afternoon.
3. Has anyone ever started a speech in honor of a peer by saying, "No shit. Here we are?" I think it would be cool. ;)
4. From The Des Moines Register:
Where else?

Where else?
First bronze, now butter.
Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, whose likeness is being cast in bronze for the Iowa Hall of Pride, will be sculpted in a more gooey medium in August at the Iowa State Fair.
Butter Shawn Johnson will share the spotlight with the butter cow in the Agriculture Building Aug. 7-17. Butter sculptor Sarah Pratt of West Des Moines plans to incorporate a balance beam into Johnson’s pose, and possibly an American flag.
Johnson, 16, of West Des Moines, the reigning world champion, will lead the favored U.S. team as it tries for its second-ever gold medal.
5. Happy Canada Day!
A. Canada: The country with the largest French population that has never surrendered to German.
B. The greatest athlete's response to a national anthem at the Olympics -- evah!
Chandra Crawford always brings tears to my eyes.
C. The Arrogant Worms!
When I look around me, I can't believe what I see
It seems as if this country has lost its will to live
The economy is lousy, we barely have an army
But we can still stand proudly cuz Canada's really big
We're the second largest country on this planet earth
And if Russia keeps on shrinking then soon we'll be first
(As long as we keep Quebec)
The USA has tanks and Switzerland has banks
They can keep them thanks, they just don't amount
Cuz when you get down to it, you find out what the truth is
It isn't what you do with it its the size that counts
Most people will tell you that France is pretty large
But you can put fourteen France's into this land of ours
(It's take a lot of work, It'd take a whole lot of work)
We're larger than Malaysia, almost as big as Asia
We're bigger than Australia and it's a continent
So big we seldom bother to go see one another
Though we often go to other countries for vacations
Our mountains are very pointy, our prairies are not
The rest is kinda bumpy, but man do we have a lot
(we've got a lot of land, we've got a whole lot of land)
So stand up and be proud and sing out very loud
We stand out from the crowd cuz Canada's really big
