disturbing-funny, disturbing cute, and disturbing *disturbing*

Back from holiday visit to the fam in ChicagoLand, and though I have a bountiful list of comments to expound on ad nauseum from thoughts during walks, drives, sleeplessness... they require more focused thought than I can give them right now. In the meantime, we have:

Disturbing-funny


where can I get some of this? are there other savory flavors? how about lobster bisque?

Disturbing-cute:


It's not a causal thing, is it? That running with scissors makes children slow... or that you drive slowly because the children in this neighborhood have a tendency to run with scissors and could be doing it at any time?

And then, disturbing-disturbing: Michigan House Bill 5882 which, among other things... makes the sweeping statement about where life begins "'Unborn child' means a live human being in utero regardless of its gestational stage of development." (Section 2E)

Of course, it would also make it a crime for the "supposed" father (though paternity may not be known) of a child of a pregnant female younger than 18 to change cohabitation with her (Sections 3D and 4D). Meaning... a 18 boy lives with a 17 year old girlfriend. She finds out she's pregnant and it could his, but also could be someone else's... if he moves out, he could be imprisoned for up to a year, based on interpretations of "intent to compel". Intent to compel doesn't even seem to require an action... "Intent"?
