The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Have there been people there to point and laugh when that happens?

Well, I am gonna go get dressed and I think Kylee and I are gonna go to Target. She seems to be feeling okay and I think it would do her some good to get out of the house. Plus, I need to get her more Children's Tylenol to try and keep her fever down. I'll check back later.

Hmmm, personality quiz time: When you refer to Target, in your mind, do you call it

Tar-get, accepting of the low prices and convenience of the department store?
or, do you call it
Tar-jay, pretending you're french and making the store seem classier than it really is?

Personally, I've been calling it Tar-jay for so long that I can't seem to stop.

Or do you just call it "Not Walmart"?

All right moving around was a bad idea. We'll do Target later.

A personality quiz huh?

I call it Target. I don't pretend to be French.....what with all the surrendering involved and that.

Just kidding....mostly.

I reserve that name for K-mart. . . pre-bankruptcy. Although there's still a few around, which I've never quite understood.

Yeah, and then they go and buy Sears.

The Maginot Line...Because building a wall across only PART of an invader's path of approach seems like a fine plan...

Um. . . actually it's pretty sound tactical thinking. It just got out-maneuvered by BETTER tactical thinking.

But in general, limiting your enemies' approach vectors is a good idea.

See: points of entry, building.

Then watch Burn Notice.

I would agree, if the limited approach vector was somehow difficult to deal with, or dangerous, or full of capable, heavily armed people to take advantage of the situation.

Belgium and the Ardennes Forest were neither.

Also, any defense that can be completely surrounded while the rest of their friends go and stomp on your government and people - not the best implementation of warfare tactical and strategic theory. chuckle

I mean, I did say it "seemed" to be a good idea...
