Ya know. I will NEVER understand that man. I called and he was all upset that he misunderstood about the open house. Told me to look into changing her leg out there and he would cover the cost (I played dumb about already calling - didn't want to push too much).
He asked if she needed her own hotel room or if he should get a suite. I said I would have her call him about that.
Ha. Suzi, this sounds like what happens with my parents too, sometimes. They surprise you now and then. Glad it went well.
Hey, P-C, can you link me to your long LJ posts about the Office? I'd really love to read them again, now that I'm catching up on same.
Fred Pete, I am also up for the Philly F2F. I don't need to have Sox speak for me, although she's very good at it!
Suzi, glad K-Bug's trip will work out, even if parents are sometimes weird.
OMG. Going back to the discussion on Catholics ≠ Christians discussion. Just in time for Halloween:

During the month of October, when Catholics are preparing to celebrate Satan's Birthday on October 31st, Landover Baptist will be running our 77th annual Hellhouse. This year, folks are expected to arrive from all 50 states. They will wait for hours in line to visit 12 horrific rooms in a Haunted Cathedral that once served as a demonic house of worship for Catholics in the latter part of this century. Below is the offical [sic] floor plan for Landover Baptist's Hellhouse. It is completely interactive. Click on a demon red room number and a description will pop up like a skeleton!
(I had to add the sic, since I know many of you literary type would take note of the misspelled word, and I didn't want you thinking it was me)
ETA: o thank jebus, as I read it more, I was like, "this can't be for real", and dug around the site and found:
The Landover Baptist Church is a complete work of fiction. It is a satire/parody
Hee! Loves me Landover Baptist!
(eta: yeah, it's kind of The Onion of religious satire. But still? Hi-larious. Don't miss the gift shop.)
Yes but Hell Houses in general are very real. There's a great episode of This American Life that features one.
I just want to curl up and cry right now. I thought I was catching up yesterday, and right now I feel like I'm never going to catch up.
OMG, I totally want to get ordained in the Landover Baptist Church!
While we're on the subject of Baptist madness, Savage Love cracked my shit up today.
(scroll down to Speaking of Dangerous Kinks)
So it seems that the "shameless" perverts on the streets of San Francisco—men and women indulging their kinks with lovers, buddies, and friends on the streets of San Francisco in front of God and everybody—are less of a danger to themselves and others than the perverts in Montgomery.
