  1. Well, shit. Now how is this thread supposed to get to 200?
  2. Ask and ye shall receive. A fellow Texas expat here in the Triangle just told me about the CFS at "It's a Southern Thing" in Durham. I'll have to have a celebratory Quinnza breakfast there tomorrow.
  3. It may be worse now because of the kinds of weapons available, and it is definitely more noticeable because of the internet, but this phenomenon is not new. In junior high English, I sat behind a hulking freak of a kid who told anyone who would listen that John Wayne Gacy was his cousin, and he did book reports with such lovely titles as "101 ways to kill people", and he regularly brought knives, brass knuckles, throwing stars, etc. to school. Nobody ever did anything. Then, in high school, he pulled a knife on a kid in the showers after PE. Fortunately he tripped and fell, otherwise, he would have made the evening news. We are certainly worse now, but we've been a sick culture for a long, long time.
