A great and epic battle ensued. EPIC BATTLE OF THERMOPYLAE |

Please tell me you video taped this all?
Most of it, yes.
But not all of it. There’s a link in that post that goes to a bit of video. There’s more, that I may upload someday.
I hereby would like to nominate you for Most Awesomest Mother EVAR (2011)!
At least it’s not the Most Awesomest Mother of Many Awesome Radical Younglings award. Because the MAMMARYs are really overdone this year, I think.
