Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Tom Waits wrote "Chocolate Jesus" after his FiL (no lie) decided to sell religious themed breath mints. They were called Sacra-mints.

Nuh-uh. They were called Testa-mints.
IIRC.
ooh ... sarameg, they did that to me once for an address in Canada. I just about went crazy. And this was AFTER I'd wrestled with their import/export documents. I was about to hand-carry a package up there.
Fedex is not good with international shipping. I've found DHL to be much more reliable, except no US companies have DHL accounts.
I think the chocolate Jesus statue is offensive (in a petty way, and not because he's nude -- because Jesus probably was nude on the cross) and I don't think it's at all comparable to communion, and rolled my eyes a little at that comparison. But I also think this is a tempest in a teapot. I hope I wouldn't do/haven't done anything that tacky, petty, or disrespectful of another religion, but a lot of people do a lot of things I don't do. I'm glad both that they're free to do things that don't hurt anyone (and this doesn't -- it's just tacky-petty), and that when they do them it isn't an invitation to violence. Art I find icky is not persecution.
Breakfast this morning was asparagus and swiss omelet.
That sounds astoundingly good. More appealing than chocolate Jesus, at the moment.
so, the two online apps I use to do the core of my job are down. I am about to start typing in meeting notes from a spiral notebook just to keep busy.
Yeah, unfortunately, I dunno if we are allowed to use DHL. We used to, but I haven't seen one of their guys here in ages.
Nuh-uh. They were called Testa-mints.
Oop - you're correct. I saw a picture of the Testa-mints up at one his fan sites.
