I thought dangling participles were the problem.  Wink

Next time, try madras instead of vindaloo.

We're weirder than they are, so they'll never see us coming.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's really the prepositions at the ends of sentences, though they are rich fodder for insults. Example- person says, "Where are you going to?". Grammar Nazi says, "Don't end a sentence with a preposition". Original person responds, "OK, where you going to, asshole?".  Tut Tut
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

There's a possibly apocryphal story that Winston Churchill, when called out for ending a sentence with a preposition, replied, 'This is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put.'

Kids are so important, especially here in Texas.

Just read where a foster care facility has been closed in Hunt County after an 11 year old boy died in their care. The child woke up complaining of a severe stomachache and did not want to go to the planned outing to a movie later in the day. Cameras showed that he was weak, barely able to walk, and collapsed at the ticket counter of the theater. He was pulled up by staff and forced to enter the theater anyway. He died from a bowel blockage that could have been taken care of had he been allowed medical treatment.

Reminder of how important it is to have all the babies, not feed or care for them, and let them die.

History says someone will open another. I'll hope for that someone to be better.
