I do not think they booth operators are cowards. And I do not think any of us (uless you work for the MTA as a booth operator), can judge the operators or claim that they would have done different.

I have been in a situation similar to the dilemma faced by the booth operators. While it was nothing as horrific as rape - it was two students having a knockdown drag out, teeth flying fight. I ran and broke up the fight, got punched in the process and held them apart, while they were still swinging, until school authorities showed up.
I broke protocol. I was admonished for my actions. I was threatened to be put on temporary leave.
According to the rules, I was supposed to sit there and watch the fight.
But the "I cant sit here and let this happen" made me break it up.
I was told that I could be liable for any injuries to the students I pulled apart.
I countered with "I could have been asked by a court "why did you just sit there and do nothing?"

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
People are quick to criticize over a situation that they have not experience themselves.

Ninja ftw.

I have been tripped when walking the dog. But it was a rabbit that hopped out from a hiding spot and the dog zipped right in front.
Same dog was running around inside the house. I was picking up items off the floor and *POW* smack dab into my head. K.O'd me and broke a tiny part of my nose.

It somes with the territory. Just like having kids, means there is a possibility of you stepping on legos in your bare feet.

Nevermind - operator error

Was the clip removed?

Time to get the Magic Spin Art out. And dig through the rag box for some old jeans. And make me some money.

What happens if it snows more than a few feet overnight? Wouldn't there be some sort of weight distribution limit thing?

There is web group dedicated to those types of cookbooks. I have lost the link - I think they are on Flkr though.
I have a big collection of cookbooks. And those ones are always the oddest.
Some recipes are just downright disgusting.

the weight watchers ones are..just.. see for yourself

I would try the Eskimo Ice Cream - simply because I like spam and I like scrapple.

Speaking of scrapple - I think that will overtake bacon madness in maybe a year.

And what happened to the Philippines? did that just disappear off the map?
Street vendor food is the best. Boiled peanuts. Isaw. Empanadas.........now I'm hungry to. :(

I remember watching this in school. I could not remember the name of it though.

Still gets a chuckle.

Going to be nitpicky here.
But I have some early 70's Doughboy family vinyl dolls. The missus is named Poppie-Fresh, son Popper, child Bun Bun, dog Flapjack, cat Biscuit.
There is also Granmommer and Granpopper and Uncle Rollie.

He rocked that!

Oh here's a tidbit of my own.

If you had sent away your ten dollars to become a member of their fan club back in 84-85 all you got was a few photocopies of a newsletter and a piece of paper with your name on it. After that Frau became disenchanted with the band.

Having encountered many an out-of-control family at nice expensive restaurants. And having had many a nice meal turned miserable, I say YAY to you mr. whoever you are.
