Macaroni, Anyone?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Try peace. You’ll like it.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I know you could have made things different. I wish some things were different, but I’m sure you make the best choices and that we’re all caught up in our own choices, too. I enjoy my life and what I came through to reach this place and time of life, so for me I cannot complain. I do see and to a degree know the pain and suffering of others, however, and that’s where I wish things were different, that our histories and systems and beliefs did not cause such suffering and damage in the way you made things. Still, life is wonderful!
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Give me five!”

[Loaves, perhaps? No, He didn’t say it.]


D. Blog: Macaroni [from the Online Etymology Dictionary]

“macaroni”

1599, from southern It. dialect maccaroni (It. maccheroni), pl. of *maccarone, possibly from maccare "bruise, batter, crush," of unknown origin, or from late Gk. makaria "food made from barley." Used after c.1764 to mean "fop, dandy" (the "Yankee Doodle" reference) because it was an exotic dish at a time when certain young men who had traveled the continent were affecting Fr. and It. fashions and accents. There is said to have been a Macaroni Club in Britain, which was the immediate source of the term.
