Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"If necessary," he said, "we will secede from the union."

That trick never works.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Most of my education was in religious institutions. From nursery school through high-school, my day was always split between Judaic studies, and what we would refer to as secular studies. Over the years I had many different science teachers teach us about biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, earth sciences, and yes, evolution. Never, not once, did a science teacher attempt to teach us creationism. Why? Because that's what the religious half of the day was for.

Wolfram, this was my experience in Catholic schools, as well.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

"If necessary," he said, "we will secede from the union."

Because that always goes so well.

Hey, I'd be thrilled to have the whack-jobs out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because that always goes so well.

Hey, it's the ultimate expression of State's Rights.

Yeah, it worked so well for South Carolina last time.

Silence means security silence means approval

Because that always goes so well.

Maybe we should send them free passes to see Fort Sumter and a complete set of The Civil War DVDs.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm with Tep. Here's your hat, what's your hurry, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That Columbia Christian Campaign, or whatever it's called? Has now gotten far more attention than it's ever gotten or will get.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Jesus -- the dude this group allegedly worships -- loved the sinners, the whores and depraved sort. He didn't kick the shit out of them, and he certainly didn't destroy their homes.

More to the point, hello! Don't these people READ the Bible? I am an unbelieving reprobate and even I know about the rainbow sign, and how it means I promise that next time I totally destroy you it won't be with water.

Ipso facto, Q. E. D., and other Latin phrases. Some people just need my foot in their ass.
