I can't even.

Well, since he's dead it would be some sort of miracle (or many sorts), but I get your meaning.

Who knows what he kept in the fridge?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Praise be to the Mollymauk!

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

That kerfuffle is idiotic, and so is how all reported parties were behaving. It's only a freaking lollipop. If that traumatised a kid, s/he was already on the road to therapy.

My brother and sister went into a bible store on a lark and saw a t-shirt that said, "Hot girls don't come from monkeys."

Oh Lord, I must have that t-shirt. I'd be the funniest thing ever when I was excavating.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

best line of that lollypop kerfuffle:

It's about a generation that's so caught up in itself that everything it says it thinks is significant, even though it's not saying anything at all.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Jars, this one is funny. I'm still looking for the other.

What is even happening?

Strega, the problem is, you'd be hard pressed to find two denominations, never mind two people, who use the same working definition of things like literalism or inerrancy. That's why the poll results are more sensationalistic than representive of trends in religion. The words are bandied about so much as a test of faith, that they're more trouble than they're worth.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

So, what you're saying is, millions of religious people need to be beaten with a dictionary? Typical. I know a bunch of secular academics who have the same problem.

(Sloppiness of meaning-transfer via language is really a problem, in the humanities; that's why random people can pull a Punk'd on a literary journal every now and hten, and publish a whole essay about nonsense.)

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Also when Dawn returns to the party, kisses Tim, and leads him out by the hand. So effin sweet!

Yeah, that's a pretty much perfect moment.

I wonder if they heard how Lou Reed got kids to cry on his recording of Berlin.

That was Bob Ezrin, wasn't it? Who would let Lou Reed around children?

That's why the poll results are more sensationalistic than representive of trends in religion.

Well, except that this charge can be levelled at just about any poll, but polls are still (when done properly) useful and indicative of general trends.

I get what you're saying Cindy, but just because the poll answers don't quite apply to you specifically, that doesn't nullify the poll data.
