My mother would kill me and then it would turn into COPS.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I always wondered how polygamists manage, money-wise.
I don't give a damn how many wives/husbands people want to have (I'm very much more opposed to huge batches of children, simply from a population standpoint) but holy crow, it looks exspensive! Especially if you're operating under what (my admittedly sketch) knowledge of Muslim (and I think Mormom) parity is, where each spouse has to be provided for equally.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It's very much a "if we can do it, anyone can" thing.
I'd probably have an easier time being debt free if I got paid to be on tv, called my house a church and didn't pay taxes.

Do they call their house a church? (I don't watch the show; I know nothing.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
They don't go to a regular church -- they have church services in their house, for the family and sometimes a few other families, with their father leading the service. I've read a few places (too lazy to google now) that they don't have to pay property taxes on that part of the house, since churches are tax-exempt.

I am hopefully not going to have a toothache this weekend. It's not heat sensitive at the moment, and cold doesn't make it appreciably better, so that's a good sign. Of course, I also realized that this morning was the first that I didn't take advil ( for the jaw pain) so it might have always been there, just masked by the drugs. It's not throbbing now, so we'll see.

My understanding is they don't pay taxes on any of it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That seems unlikely. It's probably a similar tax code to what governs home offices and the like. If not, everyone would declare their house a church pretty quickly whether or not they built the thing with cash.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
What's the plot of Legend... nevermind.
Just stop there. I remember seeing it once ... it seemed dark, confused, and not very good. Tom Cruise, Mia Sera and Tim Curry ... who might have saved it, except he was even less recognizable than in Rocky Horror (heavier makeup, mask, etc.).
