S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

(Totally off topic, was I the only one laughing my ass off when John Kerry got in such trouble for his "foreign leaders support me in email" espisode?)

Oh, that's hilarious.

I rather like the Yoko Factor one, but I do want to stick with the B'cy 3: Like X, Only Y pattern. I think they're amusing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ditto with the John Kerry.

It's possible I'm too sensitive, but I don't want us thinking this stuff is like Job.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

But wasn't the end result of Job stuff good. Like his faith and all that (bad Christian).

Driveby posting - Thanks Cindy, Sean and everyone for looking out for us Passover folkses. As usual, I voted monkey.

For B'cy 3 I favor: lurkers, cabal, and dead horses.

The story just pisses me off: God and the Devil making bets about how much bad shit they can do to this poor guy. Sure, he gets his wife and kids back because he keeps faith and whatever, but STILL. t /my issues

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

No no, he gets a completely new set of wife and kids. The first set stays dead. (Sucks to be them.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The first set stays dead. (Sucks to be them.)

True that. New testament bogarted the zombification.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Job's wife didn't die; just the kids. And almost all his employees, which for some reason I find worse than the kids.

OH YEAH! Even worse! (Even if it is just the kids and employees, not the wife.) Grrrr.

Also... Voting on the current measure ends tonight at 6pm PDT, right?

I'll be out of the house at that time on my way to the play I'm teching. I'll post final results when I get home tonight, around 11pm board time.
