Though, frustration at the DMV is no fun.
Me and the DMV are unmixy things. That's why I was so glad to be able to renew my registration and tags online. The less I go there, the better off I am.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
"Satan wants your soul, not your car, Lady."
That is fantastic. My mother was unhappy with my SS# but I don't think she tried to argue with anyone about it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
What a game that was. Inning after inning of littleball and that troll David Eckstein. Nothing even smelling like a home run till the 7th, and then one for each team out into that short porch in left. Pujols was standing there at the plate just watching it fly, it was so pretty.
Pujols is a nice guy and possibly the best player in all of baseball (or at least the NL).
I am sure he is (in the NL anyway). Also, where would he hide a tail in those tight white trousers? But you all were talking Satan, and Satan does not hit home runs in the 9th with 2 out against Light Out Lidge in an elimination game during the postseason. What is more important here, a pennant race, or your immortal soul??
You want Satanic, you want Pay-Rod.
The New York back pages are muttering that he should be traded. He just doesn't have the magnetism, and can't compete with, and I do quote, "Derek Jeter, the girl next door."
Sometimes, the comedy routine writes itself.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What a game that was.
The hardest part for me was watching Craig Biggio's eyes welling up before they lost the game when they had the Cards down to their last strike and 18 years of baseball were about to finally take him to the World Series.
But Pujols was the MFM.

It doesn't make them Satanists any more than it makes me one.
I think considering yourself a Satanist pretty much means you are one, though of course in practice that can mean a lot of different things, just as being a Christian can. La Vey's church doesn't hold a patent or anything.

Silence means security silence means approval
Pujols' career numbers: .332/.416/.621, 201 HRs. And that's a 5-year career. And he's TWENTY-FIVE.

BWAH!!!
Also, timelies. It's a cold female rain here and I am making beef stew.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I'm quite sure I could find more than a few serial rapists who turned up at Church every Sunday and were quite good and singing the hymns
Well, the BTK killer was a minister at his church. \
It does frustrate me when people hold a double standard about religions - for example, any crime in which someone mentions Satan was obviously the work of every Satanist and witch in the world, yet David Koresh somehow isn't a Christian, even though he often talked about Jesus. Then again, according to many Christian religions, myself being raised by Papists already makes me a handmaiden to the dark ones.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
If "by their enemies ye shall know them," then what does it say about an organization or religion if by and large, those enemies are largely imaginary?
It is 48F/9C here. I demand summer back forthwith.
It does not help that I spent the weekend helping my mother dispense with 55 years worth of basement storage, so I was off yesterday. I must turn my brain back into a business brain....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
You want Satanic, you want Pay-Rod.
You mean the guy who pulled a child out of the path of an oncoming truck to save his life last spring? Yeah, he's evil all right.
If the Yankees want to jettison him, I'd be happy to see him in Dodger blue, but it won't happen because even Steinbrenner isn't that stupid.
