[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I have to say I'm uncomfortable with the notion that you have to earn the right to disbelief, or to discussing that disbelief and having it taken seriously.

I'm not sure that was what Hil was saying (not that I can speak for her). I took it as she was saying that it's difficult to discern how they got to the place they are at, because both are lumped under one group--atheist.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My grandmother said, "You didn't think I'd put him in a suit, did you?" So wherever he is now, he's dressed for sailing.

My granddad was laid out in a plaid shirt and tan windbreaker-type jacket and a fishing hat, with his beat-up old bugle tucked in the crook of his arm. I mean, it still didn't look like him, but at least he was dressed like him.

I would like to nominate the past couple of weeks as "Sucktastic Weeks of the Year." Who's with me?

Me.

Jessica, that's nice to hear about your grandfather being dressed for sailing. At the funeral for my dad's best friend a couple weeks ago, he was all dressed up in his kilt and bagpipin' wear. Also had a flask with some single malt in it with him.

Hope you're doing OK.

Sean, glad you and S have been visited by Buffistas. I hope the procedure goes well.

I'm back to work, not all here mentally though. It's OK though.

Jessica, it's good to hear that your grandmother found a way to make sure your grandfather was remembered the way he should be. I hope you and D are back on schedule soon.

Sean, I hope that you and S got some rest and that today is a good day. Continued ~ma to both of you. Buffistas are true Menschen.

Hey you! How's your school stuff going?

the Big!Boss has distributed bottles of wine as gifts to the office. I'm looking at it appraisingly....

Okay, I guess I can email you anyway, huh?

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

I like to think of there as being a distinction between ignorance and not knowing.

Your lack of information doesn't bother me as ignorance until you start acting like you have the information you don't, or acting when you should have it.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Our wings are not tired

This goes far beyond religion, but what really drives me nuts are people that are proud of their ignorance. My sister falls into this camp. She wears it like a badge of honor and uses it as an excuse to be an asshole, racist, bigot, etc. etc.
