Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One could surmise that a majority of Brtis and Germans don't.

One could, but it doesn't match with my experience. I've found WAY more random Americans not know things *I*, a heathen non-believer, thought was common knowledge. In Jamaica, they'll happily chant text at you, and in the UK -- well, they can teach the Bible in the UK without fear of repercussion. Religious Studies wasn't a rare class among the people I knew.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I'd say they generally have to avow faith more than knowledge. Which is less defensible, IMO.

Yeah, I'm probably conflating the two.

Good luck, Gloomcookie.

Cindy, are you watching the game?

Not yet, sj. Ben is. I can't take the pressure this year. I'm going to have to tear Ben away soon, to make sure he studies for his big social studies test. I think I'll give him to the third inning.

Of course the funny thing is even though the common wisdom is Christian == Republican (obviously incorrect common wisdom when you think about the numbers), the most religious recent president easily has to be Jimmy Carter.

And the least religious President in recent memory may have been Reagan.

It's awful. Take Ben away from the tv and save him the emotional scars. I wish someone could come save me from watching it.
