They wanted to impound your car for expired tags???
I thought you were still registered in NY at the time?
No, I bought my car in CA. I think they wanted to impound for "no license" because my license was still in NY. But I know that, when he looked up my registration in the system, there was no record of me having renewing my registration. Yet, I got my new tags the next day. Which was good since the fucker ticketed me for having an unregistered car.
I still had to spend a day in court. But I got everything dismissed.
Frankly, I have never seen any evidence (and I've looked at lots) that's convinced me even a single "Satanic cult" has existed anywhere, ever.

Actually, I knew of some Satanic cult-type stuff in my hometown. Not the "listens to The Quiet Riot and The Led Zeppelin instead of the music of JESUS" Satanism the goofy religious types would use to scare up donat, er, the medi, er, the faithful.
We're talking a cross between skinheads and Satanists.
Half the stuff I'm seen Christian churches do reviles me more than what Satanists are reputed to do.

Huh. My insurance agency decided to reinstate my renter's insurance policy out of the goodness of their heart, without me having to ask them to do so.
Of course, they want to charge me $210.60 to do so, and the property they are looking to insure is the apartment I lived in in Maine 8 years ago.
I believe the voice mail I left them may have been a little bit on the angry side.

I'd be curious to know more of the details about this. This is exactly the kind of group I see touted by the media/churches/etc as the Satanic cult bogeyman we're supposed to be afraid of.
Hell, prison skinhead gangs are openly Satanist, too. I guess that strikes me as more of a trapping than a central motivator, I guess, which is why I find their claim of Satanism so dubious. It's like they adopted it just to scare the straights.

Well, in the mainstream media, "Satanic" is used as a blanket term for "evil" (or as a synonym/shortcut for "serial rapist with black candles in his desk drawer") rather than as meaning "member of the Church of Satan."
ND, I am rewatching High Fidelity for the first time since the theaters. It disturbs me that you are on my tv right now. getoff GetOff GETOFF!
How am I on your screen? Which character?
WHO AM I?!?

Oh, I get that. I think that's part of what I'm semi-ranting about -- that the "Satanic" cults and murderers people talk about really are not (even when they keep black candles in a drawer). That's it's a word used specifically and deliberately to evoke a non-existant bogeyman. In fact, if any member of the press is using the term to mean "member of the Church of Satan," than they really need to be kicked in the head repeatedly by an army of fact-checkers.
