An exceptionally gullible friend of mine was convinced by another (admittedly extremely persuasive and believable) friend that to commemorate the Millennium, America was going to re-enact some past battle with children and real bullets on the lawn of the White House.

I only know about this because said friend had already had about two years of piss taken out of her by the time I moved in with them, so I have no idea if alcohol was involved...but still.

krissa, who has been unable for weeks to load your page, has been informed of her tagline win, and passes on her reaction in the next comment, which i'll post on her behalf.

meanwhile, i'll accept your unspoken thanks for going out begging for you, since otherwise you'd never have gotten the new title.
