sorry. my intention wasn't to make light of violence of any nature. the image i posted was an actual ad for las vegas. i just returned from there (for the millionth time, i have family that live there.. not the biggest fan of vegas) ... and thus it was on my mind. i will contain my sardonic wit henceforth, as it clearly doesn't translate well on the internet.
sorry again. -k On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 12:14 AM, Jacob Kaplan-Moss <ja...@jacobian.org> wrote: > On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 1:06 PM, Kevin howerton <kevin.hower...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> ps.
