Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

“Not dead yet!”

I have achieved clean sheets for the bed. Which is good, since I'll be in my bed for most of the week.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That Conservapedia Bible project -- they're using "Divine Guide" instead of "Holy Spirit." Anybody know why?

Nuclear War: What's In It for You?

I have owned this book. (After fits of culling, which, like Barb's, never seem to reduce the number of books, I don't have a clear grasp of what I own right now.)

Its conclusion: nothing good. It was apparently an attempt to come up with something catchier than "How to Survive Nuclear War."

Because trafficking with Spirits is of the Devil.

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

And "Holy Ghost" just sounds lame....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I find the conservative bible project very interesting, esp the part about removing certain passages. Because isn't that the one thing that would really make it different from translations like the Good News Bible. Wasn't that just an attempt to update the language?
