Sorry Tom, that sounds awful.
Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Four legsDriving rides good. Spinny rides bad.
Although I'm fine with Scramblers. But they aren't as spinny as they look.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Good god, Tom, that's cruel.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
At the time, I didn't realize that day would be a portent for how the rest of my childhood would turn out.
Did he tell you that it didn't REALLY hurt, and/or that you had a good time?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Urrgh. Tom, that's awful.
Gee, so whoever chucked a tv and microwave in the rolloff instead of donating or recycling it was just striking a blow for god? Good to know. There is a substantial Creation Care movement in evangelism, but I am not surprised to find that FRC does not take part.
In related news, I am tired of pulling cardboard and metal and stuff out of dumpsters and just want to curl up on the couch with steak soft tacos, a bourbon and ginger, and Frankie, and watch new FNL. Not just yet, but soon.

My statement wasn't really fair. I don't think they are all pro-pollution. I think there is an ideology that the all government interference in the market is bad (IMO, government creates the market but that's a tangent) and it influences people to believe that environmentalists (hippies) are vastly overstating the dangers of pollution. Why do they have this irrational concern over the environment? The answer is either religious or they hate America and want it to become a third world country. In my circles, the reason given is just that they are idiots or haven't grown up yet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
But most people have never heard of pantheism, so when they do hear the word now, it's got all these wrong associations.
And once again, I can't talk about what I believe in general company without being misunderstood. Having to explain something someone doesn't know about is not a problem; having to work to correct a misunderstanding is a pain in my liberal pan-worshipping ass.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Did he tell you that it didn't REALLY hurt, and/or that you had a good time?
Not explicitly. HE was having a good time, I though I was supposed to, too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am running out the door, but just wanted to let folks know that my MiL's results were good. The swelling is due to radiation not a tumor, and the treatment plan is basically to do nothing else that might interfere with it healing. So yay for no more radiation!

Ugh, Tom. I'm sorry.
