Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

What table? There's 2 chairs for eight of us. I'll be standing all day today, and tomorrow from 7:30 to 4.

I am wearing cute flats though.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Now that I have satelite TV I come home to find things like ten Doctor Whos I have not seen.

So I'm finishing off my cheese curds ::sob:: and watching David Tenant be BRILLIANT.

Bet he'd squeak...

I just got a request from this person. I'm pretty sure she's not a Buffista...

From Scola's link:

By the word of mouth, since death concerns everyone even a hardened atheist should find verses 1 Corinthians 15:25,26 interesting and think "can this be real?",

Why is it that deeply religious people so often think that "hard core" atheists just haven't read the right passage of the Bible?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I like a quote from a review of a biography of John Maynard Keynes: "Like most atheists, he was steeped in theology." Rather more evocative than (for example) "Like most atheists, ceiling cat was watching him masturbate."

Well, the ones who spend their time never shutting up about it anyway.

A question for Jilli: My dress Prom dress is stretch velvet and I think there are some white marks from salt on the dress. Will that ruin it? It says "professional spot clean." Wondering what that entails and whether I should do it immediately.

Pffft. Stretch velvet is machine-washable on a cold/gentle cycle; that's why I own so much of it. If I were you, I'd gently dab at those white marks with a damp washcloth and some baby shampoo, then rinse with cool water.

If it's salt, perhaps a stiff brush, first?

Careful brushing with a toothbrush, then dabbing?

Oh, just to be annoying about tonight again: Who's gonna be doing the pub quiz who's not doing dinner? vw + date... anyone else?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm probably doing to opposite - going to dinner/not going to the pub quiz.

Actually, I think those are more likely shallowly religious people.
