Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

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

I thought it was more money (selling indulgences and the like) than sex.

Wasn't part of it Luther's desire to make the Bible available in languages that most people actually spoke, so they wouldn't have to depend on priests for bible stuff?

Sure, but you need a new angle for the sequal.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I thought it was more money (selling indulgences and the like) than sex.

True (although the sex lives of, say, the Borja pope don't really bear up well under scrutiny). But I was looking more at:

the morals and ethics of the church don't match the behavior of the church.

Which, sex or money, seems to apply.

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

Does discussing HoYay online count as "supporting the so-called 'gay culture'"?

Y'know, I can think of a handful of slashers who would deny Actual Queers equal rights. So, no.

And if we ever move, I'll be...something else. I don't know what.

If you move to Seattle (I know, fat chance), the Episcopal Cathedral is lovely, and has a gay South African human rights activist as Dean. It's not the church of your heart, but it is its wacky cousin.

ita, I hope you learn something from the hellish MRI.

Gronk.

It's almost noon, and I'm still half-asleep. I'm letting the girl play with my toes, because I can't think of a single interesting game or story. I think I need coffee.

shrift, I think you need to respond calmly with I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

I actually said something similar (different name, of course) to a user once. Completely unintentional, and in the same bored tone. There was a long silence and then they started to giggle. It was really odd. I didn't actually get it until after I'd hung up the phone.

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

Thanks for the hopes, guys.

I'm now doing actual work, and maybe that's what my head is telling me. Stop being employed. The thinking is making me dizzy. I'm useless.

Last tech support ticket I sent in got a reply that included "Maybe it was a glitch in the matrix."

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

I can think of a handful of slashers who would deny Actual Queers equal rights.

Actual Queers have a habit of not picking out the kind of curtains you want them to, unlike fictional character queers.

You know, I do know that people come in all shapes and sizes and stupidities, but even so... huh.

Y'know, I can think of a handful of slashers who would deny Actual Queers equal rights.

I can think of one or two Actual Queers who do the same. Some peoples are weird.

Maybe there are folks from the SciFi Channel who lurk and will see this:

When giant scorpions walked the earth

Tracks found in Scotland look to be from an ancient water scorpion as big as a kitchen table. If the analysis is right, it is the first evidence of the creature coming ashore.

The scorpion, a six-legged thing called Hibbertopterus, was about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long and 3 feet (1 meter) wide. It is long since extinct.

There is a drawing. It's a freakish-looking thing....
