It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

I loved Masterpiece. I think if we found a Masterpiece set and a Clue set, we could TOTALLY put together a Leverage game, Tom.

Isn't that essentially the basis of Catholicism?

I think that is essentially the basis of Protestantism. The Catholics thought that there was good and evil in everyone, and you could "earn" good by good works, confession. Eventually this led to corruption and selling of indulgences and all sorts of things.

The Protestant view (in the Reformation) was that everything was black and dark in all of our souls, but some people had a pre-determined "cloak of grace" that covered up all the nastiness. And since it was all pre-determined, you had no control over whether you were going to heaven or hell BUT you didn't know which was you were to go, so you needed to act good just in case. It never really made since to me, but I was taught this at a nominally Catholic college, so maybe I am wrong.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We played card games and Risk. Sometimes Monopoly but my brother always got caught embezzling when he was banker.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Predestination is not found in all branches of protestantism -- that's the Calvinists.

If I had only known. I saw a Masterpiece game at a rummage sale only 2 weeks ago.

Did Helen Thomas just wake up and say to herself, "Fuck it. I'm old and I'm gonna say some outrageous shit today."?

Apparently? I guess she's Lebanese-American, so maybe not super impartial, but...yeah. Weird. Disappointing, cause...crazy. Jews should go back to Germany and Poland? Yeah, that's a GREAT plan, Helen...

Our wings are not tired.

I am bummed because I've admired Helen Thomas for YEARS. She chose a crap way to retire.

Also, Triominos, which is still around I think, and really fun for both kids and adults, and good when kids are learning to work with numbers.
