M went to the local Red Cross blood bank to give platelets. Vamp wanted to come to because he was interested in making a withdrawal.
One of the first things you do at the blood bank, after giving name, SSN, Date of Birth, etc. is to read the rules. The rules are complicated. They require you to think about where you have 'lived' and that is a sore point with Vamp (who is differently alive).
After the first bunch of information there were many questions on hepatitus, AIDS, etc. and Vamp was pretty confused by the end of it.
He also wasn't that happy in the pheresis area because the bags of platelets have a yellowish color to them, not like the nice red that he hoped to see.
Still, he was pleased to get a nice bumper sticker (Vamp thinks it is a great slogan too) that said, "GIVE BLOOD" (the stickers were available at the after donation snack bar.
After G got word that he passed the VA bar exam (he passed the MD bar in 2011 and was waved in to DC in early 2012), we got pizza to celebrate. Michelangelo (aka Mikey), who thinks pizza is awesome, got an invitation.
For some reason, Graduation Bear also heard there was a party and invited himself. Grad was disappointed that there was no hard liquor or recreational drugs available.
Mikey kept saying how awesome the pizza was (Mikey thinks a lot of things are awesome - once M was at cafe Shawreen and some people, after being told that mustard and ketchup was available on the condiment table, said, "Awesome". Mikey was impressed with that also..
After the VP debate on Oct 11, Gate was worried that he (our Alligator) would be blamed for Biden's creepiness.
This worry was based on the fact that Gate has had to brief VP Biden several times in his (Gate's) job with the Office of Legal Counsel and Biden was impressed with Gate's smile and decided to smile repeatedly and at inappropriate times in the VP debate.
However, as a couple of days have passed, it looks like there will be more focus on Biden's comment that neither he nor POTUS was briefed on the threat to the consulate in Benghazi and Biden's implied comment that there would be no troops in Afghanistan post 2014.
