Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

When is coworker's vacation? After you're gone?

He's out starting today, but I don't know how long he'll be gone.

Do they do this to your coworker while you're on vacation? Or are you just lucky?

Well, my coworker has to do stuff whenever I'm out, or people will scream the house down, but then, I also don't take an entire week of vacation at one time.

I'm more bothered by the fact that they're just telling me this now. Coworker already left for vacation, and I don't really know how to do his job. Also, paralyzed by not caring very much. Also also, I have way too much work to do already.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think you should run with the first also. And maybe apologize for the fact that you've got plans after work all week, and if only you'd known, yadda yadda Eat It.

This gives me an image of a birth control case with spinners.

Ditto, shirft. How long 'til you give your notice, again?

I'm not trying to make it palatable, I just think that the reason even moderates are saying he should be executed is because the law of the land happens to be quite clear on what is done is such circumstances. Personally, I'm good with his seeking asylum in Italy.

Yeah, me too.

Didn't he convert 16 or 18 years ago?

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

Something like that.

It only came to the attention of the police when he was recently in a custody dispute.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

What I heard on NPR was that it only came to the attention of the police because he himself told them about it.

I'm not really planning on working very much extra, because honestly? I have time-sensitive work out the wazoo right now. And I'm thinking I may be giving notice next Monday.

I think the main thing the whole stupid issue illustrates is the problems with using Sharia law (sorry, misspelled) as the law of the land.

Agreed. But I think that it also illustrates the general problem of basing moral judgments on beliefs about the supernatural. That happens in this country too.

Everyone in the world bases moral judgments on beliefs about the supernatural (because beliefs about the supernatural include those who believe nature is the only reality--that is, that there is no supernatural). The problem is more about basing legal judgments on beliefs about the supernatural, and trying to regulate thought and expression--in this case, those thoughts are opinions on the supernatural.

Dunno if I like the logic here. You could also say:

Everyone in the world bases moral judgments on beliefs about the FSM (because beliefs about the FSM include those who believe nature is the only reality--that is, that there is no FSM)
