Word For The Day, Wednesday, November 21, 2012--Boeotian
;Boeotian [bee-oh-shuhn]
adjective
1. of or pertaining to Boeotia or its inhabitants.
2. dull; obtuse; without cultural refinement.
noun
3. a native or inhabitant of Boeotia.
4. a dull, obtuse person; Philistine.
Etymology: Origin: Boeotian
1590–1600; Boeoti(a) + -an "ignorant, dull," from Boeotia, district around Thebes in ancient Greece (said to have been so called for its cattle pastures), whose inhabitants were characterized as proverbially dull and countrified by their neighbors, the Athenians. The Boeotians presumably held reciprocal opinions, but their great writers, Plutarch and Pindar, though patriots, are full of praise for Athenian deeds and institutions.

I sense undercurrents of disharmony. LOL Have a wonderful holiday!

There are three sets of Nerf bow and arrows. Each set has one bow, one quiver, and three arrows. Not enough for 12 kids. 12 sets might have been sufficient, although I doubt it. The three year-olds are acting like three year -olds.
That’s enough for three hunters and 9 “deer.”
Soother that may be the single most impressive idea I’ve ever heard you express! That’s genius. It proves u r a good dad.

I had a pretty good idea on this thread, too.
But, yeah, if encouraging children to hunt each other is good parenting, then I win the award. ;-)
your good idea was lost on an imbecile however...
Being anticatholic is more important to some people.
