I would agree, but...

FTA: "Ake called for surrender, and the students dutifully picked the ground clean of marshmallows.

They tossed them into a garbage can and filed back into their room, where cupcakes and other treats awaited the hungry warriors."

Of course, they're talking about children who actually clean up their own messes? I call BS.

There's gelatin in marshmallows? I'm gonna be sick.. one more damn thing I can't eat becuase of my moral opposition to consuming things made out of ground bone becuase it's gross. Stupid morality.

I'm glad they are teaching the children early about combat, because they are the future conscripts of Dictator Bush's Imperial Army.

First they came for the Snickers, and I did not speak out -
because I did not like Snickers.
Then they came for the Peanut Butter Cups, and I did not speak out -
because I was allergic to Peanut Butter.
Then they came for the marshmallows, and I did not speak out -
because I was not a marshmallow.
Then they came for me - and there was no marshmallow left to speak for me.

During the final exam week my Sr year of Highschool, we had a full blown foodfight between my friends.

The launch ladies actually gave us extra desert things, and no one really cared that we made that mess. We helped clean it up a bit though, and localized the damge to just our table.

Good times. Last day I saw many of friends in one spot though. Half them i've not seen hide nor hair of in years.

That's not morality. "Because it's gross" is not a matter of moral value, it's a statement of rejection based on qualitative value. "Because it's part of an animal" is a matter of morality. If you think it's gross because you're a vegetarian, fair enough. I could consider that a judgement based upon morality. If it's because you just think using non-flesh bits of animals for food, your just a squeamish, wasteful dolt.

Big difference.

Oh, and it's "because" not "becuase."

When they outlaw marshmallows only the outlaws will have marshmallows.

They can take my marshmallow when they pry it from my cold dead sticky hand.

Gregory F. Stuart: Gelatin isn't ground-up bones, you moron. They boil bones, skins, and hides (or treat them with acids and other chemicals) to get the sweet, tasty collegen out of them. Then they strain the bones and other junk out.

Mmm, connective tissue.

Oh, right. That makes it so much more yummy. Not ground bones, boiled bones. Choke.

or swords, guns, or bare hands. The only way she hasn't killed is with telekinesis.

Do you know when the next one is coming out? I know there's probably only a couple more left in the series, but still.

I was thinking about overall body count when I said "mostly."

Nothing helpful on Baen's site - was about three years between the last two, and it's only been two years since the last one.

ah, ok. I was thinking in terms of incidents. I guess one more year isn't too bad. Weber's got way too many things going on at once to go any faster, I suppose.

Beer and wine are often clarified with " finings"; finings are usually made of isinglass, and isinglass is made from the swim bladders of fish.

Being Panhandle-bred, the students had long been denied the snowball fights enjoyed by their northern counterparts.

I'm from Ohio and there hasn't been a snowball-able snow in quite some time unless you're in the extreme north.

I live near Wewa and it hasn't snowed here since 1989. And it was more like slush than snow, and was gone by noon.

It sounds to me like some marshmellow PR guy has managed to get an article on Fark. I wonder if he's from Wewa?

The thing these kids lack is experience.

If these kids knew any better- if you need leave peeps sitting for two-three weeks sitting on the counter- they get hard as hell outside but soft and yummy inside.

Marshmallows are gross, but it's not because they're made of boiled bones.
