Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

I have played the game of non-offensiveness for a long time, but the fact that atheist pretend to celebrate a religious holiday just gets under my skin.

Well, I suppose it's the opposite end of the spectrum from those people who are offended when athiests (and people of other religions) don't celebrate Christmas.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, Matt. Someone pointed out to her that we non-believers apparently can't win. If we don't say "Merry Christmas" then it's a war on Christmas. If we do, we're "pretending". Whatevs. I'm seriously not offended by her, just sort of "uh?" about it. I can't take it seriously because it's too loony. Besides, further down, it comes out that she really just hates atheists because apparently we're spending all of our time trampling on her "freedom of religion". So this is just a petty thing to bring up when she has a much larger hate going on.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Okay, I know I always think "FTW" is Fut the Whuck but it isn't really, right? What does it mean again?

For the Win

Anne! HELLO!

And "for the win" is soooo different than "fut the whuck"!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

FTW = for the win

I think...

Anne W. FTW!

“Not dead yet!”

In case she forgot, you know, about that cross thing.

Yep, that was my first thought as well. I mean, hello, nice holiday and all, what with the birth of the big guy and the three guys tromping across the desert saying "See a star, dude?" but really the springtime holiday is the Big Kahuna.

Hey, everyone!

I'm taking an unplanned half-day today. I am so tired that I feel physically ill. I'm going to putter around online until I start nodding off, then I will nap for a long, long time.

I'll do the work I meant to do at work tomorrow morning. fortunately, it is the sort of thing I can do as easily from home as I could working at my desk.

In so many ways, really.

Anne's fruitcake..FTW!

Anne's presence alone raising the prettiness level in St. Louis...FTW!

Ah. Don't you hate it when people's religious freedom to decide what other people believe gets trampled on?
