Do it for the children.

"...ladies have been banned from baking triangular flapjacks after a
school branded them DANGEROUS."

"The Year 7 lad suffered a “sore eye” when he was accidentally struck
in the face by the 4in-long snack chucked by another child.

Oren,

I always wear eye protection at the breakfast table. I looked at the
pictures and read the article. Can't figure out what these "flapjacks" are
made of. Oats? They certainly don't look like pancakes.

I think the real problem is that the school headmistress is missing the point entirely.

She needs to understand that food shouldn't be thrown in the school cafeteria; not that the food served in the school cafeteria should be made in such a way as to be safer WHEN thrown.

She's treating the symptom and not the disease. It wouldn't be necessary to ban triangular flapjacks if you ban kids from throwing food in the school cafeteria.

Do the British have "cookbooks" with recipes? I've never seen one,
seriously.

Well that rules out a lot of the hairy hillbillys over there.

However if the topic is of interest:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_Three

A lot of famous models got a start in their careers right there.

I think page three now has a website.

Another of our inventions BTW, copied everywhere.

Snow shoe rabbits? So you had no floods. Certainly not any sinkholes.
I bet you still have a Red Green long sleeve flannel shirt on, until
summer on the July 4th.

Yep, long sleeve flannel shirts off the clock. Have lined flannel Field &
Stream hoodie from Costco. On the clock, must wear company issued sales
shirt with logo.


Brown rabbits. Adults. Little ones will be all over soon.

Last year a little one got cornered by the cat in the pool area. Bolts
and leaps in the pool. Immediate threat solved. Not going to get eaten.
Current problem... get out of pool so it doesn't drown... without getting
eaten. Naturally swims to edge of pool to get out. Cat goes to edge to
receive. Rabbit turns and heads to another edge. I shoo cat and go to
edge point where rabbit is now headed. Rabbit comes right to edge where I
was and stops. Things float like a cork. Somehow it knows I don't eat
rabbit. Maybe cause I wasn't showin' my teeth and licking chops. I pick
it up out of water.

I put rabbit in grass area so it can head under fence and back in the
woods. Sneaky cat has circled behind me. Runs towards the rabbit. Rabbit
bolts back in the pool. Oh yea, at full gallop they leap in at egde and
do a belly flop.

Repeat...shoo cat and go get rabbit. This time I take rabbit part way in
woods and wish him luck. Put cat in house for a half hour.

Once a cat gets a taste of rabbit hide / scent glands you solve the
problem in the garden. I fed a hide to one (prison parolee cat), I
shot in the garden with a pellet rifle.

Jessie trained another kitty, Keri (Key-Rye) to find them. I know it
worked, because I kept finding rabbit kidneys on the porch door stoop.

I really miss Jessie and Keri. They lived a long life ~ 20 years each.
Darby is about 20 (?)...another prison parolee cat.
