So the Raptured just float on up to to Heaven, right? I wonder if they can send text messages on the way.
"Hey Bob - I can see your house from up here!"
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

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

I think I've mentioned here that I've been reading the Slacktivist's most excellent critique and commentary on the Left Behind books, where he really gets into the crappy theology these Christianists use. I highly recommend his blog!

JZ's talked about it before too. I have the first book but have never made myself read it. I'd like to read that one and then dive in to the Slactivist takedown.

Yeah, well I unearthed another similar skirt from that time, a 9, and that one definitely won't zip up! So those skirts are equally oddly sized. (I had no idea I still had these. Found them in a rubber tub. Just wished I'd saved all the silk sleeveless blouses from back then, they were just lovely!)
But I did find out the faux suede plum sheath dress & jacket fit again.
I'm giving everything to a friend of mine to go through and take what she wants, then I'll figure out what to do with the rest. I've got 3 suits I'll probably consign, they're in good shape and rarely worn.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The books aren't worth the indigestion -- and the Slacktivist critique is detailed enough that you can follow along without them.

Good to know! I bought the book years ago off eBay to avoid adding to the already fake sales numbers but, yeah no.

Can anyone explain the mystery of how Moxie soda is still being sold after more than a century despite tasting like it does? I like old-fashioned sasparilla drinks and thought I'd give it a try, but I can't imagine anyone willingly choosing to drink that swill over water.
If you think Moxie is bad, try (or don't) Diet Moxie. It's even worse.
Congrats to Jess, Gris, Spidra and anyone else who I might have missed.

A 9 is junior (=teenager) sizing (most odd numbers are), and doesn't necessarily correlate well to the even ("misses") sizes. Juniors tend to be cut slimmer, which makes sense in a way since they are intended as teen sizes.

Yeah, reading that is both amusing and scary.

I've been reading that, too, and he REALLY takes the books apart well. I just wish he'd go faster.
