Anyway, the blitz of cheerleaders were walking not quite in formation and were practicing one of their cheers.  And it sounded&#8230; a little militant.  As though they could easily start marching while carrying rifles in one hand and batons in the other.  I don&#8217;t think I would want to go up against a blitz of battle-hardened cheerleaders &#8211; I suspect they would be well organized and have a very precise combat formation.   Making them dangerous &#8211; and annoying.<\/p>\n<p>In other news&#8230; I squared off against two giant centaurs last night in the Tomb Raider game &#8211; and got my ass handed to me.  Repeatedly.   To the point where today I&#8217;m going to try and look up some suggestions on the net.  Still got a lot of the game to get through and I don&#8217;t want this to stop me in my tracks.<\/p>\n<p>Also last evening I went over to my room-mates co-worker&#8217;s new house to assemble a futon she had bought from me that I don&#8217;t need anymore.  Her husband helped me &#8211; I had the bolts going the wrong direction at a critical part.  I was making progress, but it would have been nearly impossible to take it back apart in the future.  We made short work of it &#8211; then went to Arby&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I stopped for fuel this morning and noticed that the &#8220;cheap&#8221; fuel button was nearly worn away, but it was in the opposite position as most gas stations I&#8217;ve seen.  The sequence of buttons went from Highest to Lowest &#8211; instead of the usual reverse.  Looks like they were trying to mess with people and get them to pick the &#8220;wrong&#8221; one.   I usually look for the one most worn away, so I was in the clear.  Still, with the virtually random changes in gas prices and sky-rocketing price gouging &#8211; maybe a little honest and good nature would be a nice change of pace.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for now, back to work&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-6160044059210933902?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, on the way back from my 22 lap swim, I noticed a group of cheerleaders walking across campus on their way to their cheerleading camp and it made me wonder&#8230; Is there a collective term for a group of cheerleaders?
