Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

[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.

Yowtch. The Pale Hose are crushing the Bosox.

Considering that Boston doesn't have a bullpen, they may already be doomed in this series.

Don't count us out yet.

Those Christians who have helped push the GOP bandwagon up the hill will soon find themselves going off the cliff with it.

Yet another thing that baffles me, as many of the Christians who have pushed the Religious Right to prominance would tell you in a heartbeat that other politicians are pandering to get votes.

Why they think that politicians who say the nice religious palatives are genuine and on the level is beyond me.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Who disowned her brothers, and sent back family pictures with herself cut out of them because her brothers just were not Christian enough to count (where Christian = Hyperconservative Southern Baptist).

Are we related? Because this sounds like my sister. She hasn't actually disowned her siblings. Yet.

Yowtch. The Pale Hose are crushing the Bosox.

WooHoo!!!

A recent competition to find the funniest religious joke decided on this

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump. I ran over and said: "Stop. Don't do it."

"Why shouldn't I?" he asked.

"Well, there's so much to live for!"

"Like what?"

"Are you religious?"

He said, "Yes."

I said, "Me too. Are you Christian or Buddhist?"

"Christian."

"Me too. Are you Catholic or Protestant?"

"Protestant."

"Me too. Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"

"Baptist."

"Wow. Me too. Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?"

"Baptist Church of God."

"Me too. Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?"

"Reformed Baptist Church of God."

"Me too. Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?"

He said: "Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915."

I said: "Die, heretic scum," and pushed him off.

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

Why they think that politicians who say the nice religious palatives are genuine and on the level is beyond me.

Easy. I believe X. Furthermore, like Susan's mom, or my in-laws, or lots of others of their ilk, everyone around me believes X and it's quite obvious to me that all reasonable people must believe X. A politician who believes X is quite reasonable, whereas that guy over there couldn't possibly really think Y....

The same applies to all kinds of Xes -- and Susan, I do think you're on to something with the homogeneous population part.

Hee-Haw loves me this I know! For his neighing tells me so! Big ears and teeth to him belong! I feed him corn and he is strong!

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Sure. I'm more comfortable around people who are like me. The more different kinds of people I'm exposed to, the more I know the ways in which they are just like me. The fewer different kinds of people I'm exposed to, the more worried I get about the people not like me, because who knows what those people might do?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I first heard the religion joke as a joke about the South:

A man is standing on a bridge railing, ready to jump. A older Southern woman comes up to him and says, "Son, don't jump. Think of your family."

The man sobs, "I'm an orphan."

She says, "Think about God and his mercies."

"I'm an atheist."

"Then son, think about Robert E. Lee."

"Who's Robert E. Lee?"

"Go ahead and jump, you Yankee scum."

If I only had a brain...

Yowtch. The Pale Hose are crushing the Bosox.

I read that as Pale Horse and thought "Wow, this time the Apocalypse is personal!"
