Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The evil is this way?
Very good for them. Does Simpson, I wonder, need to backpay what was already given to him?
He probably would, if he had received any of the money. As I recall, the publisher paid $800,000 to a Florida corporation which was owned by OJ's kids. I think that Goldman probably asserted that this was a sham by Simpson to avoid paying the judgment (which is a no-no). However, I'm not sure that this will be successful where children and not the debtor, own the corporation.

Mostly lurking...
because we were actually expected to think.
Some of us still learned how to think.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy birthday, Cass!
The Simpson thing confuses me. Mostly because I don't think I paid much attention to the results of the civil case. But frankly, no matter who the money goes to, I have no interest in reading that book.

It's always amazed me since I learned of it that many Baptist churches celebrate the Eucharist with... grape juice?
There are times when I am very glad I attended a church towards the liberal-end of the Presbyterian spectrum in my youth, because we were actually expected to think.
I missed a leap in here somewhere. Where does the non-thinking come in?

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

Happy, happy birthday Cass! May you have pretty men and pretty cars on your TV all day.
Happy Father's Day to the Buff-dads, new and old!

Instead of taking it all on faith, so to speak. Feeling free to speak up and ask if a particular practice makes any sense, like substituting grape juice for what clearly was intended to be wine. Thinking about whether transubstantiation is literal or symbolic (and being respectful of other's opinions about it).

Cindy, it sounds like you did exactly what needs to be done. And with the bonus of not having to wait in the ER with the other sick folk.
TIRED. All in favor of a nap raise your hand.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Giant baby manta ray (not, as I typed, mantra ray.) is so cool.
May you have pretty men and pretty cars on your TV all day.Actually, I do. Formula One was in Indy and I've time shifted the last few hours of LeMans because of that pesky sleep thing. But I keep thinking of you as various awesome drivers show up on tv.
