My family's coat of arms ties in back.

US to N. Korea: I swear, when our army eventually gets back from Afghanistan, Iraq, and maybe Iran, we are gonna give you SUCH a pinch.  (credit: Faceh)

I have decided that wild violets are the GOP of the flower bed. They lull you with their old-fashioned beauty into thinking that you might share a value system. They make you believe that they want peace in the garden. Then one morning you wake up and the little f***ers have taken over, shouldering out anything exotic, sweetly choking the bejeezus out of anything of that disagrees with them.  Beware the violet.  -- my friend Julie R.
