are you drinking too much jesus juice today? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

If I were Chuck, I'd so resent that. No wait, if I were AC I'd resent that... No wait... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

you've missed my points... I am sorry I miss-read the point where you said that you were catholic, a form of Christianity. For that I am sorry. But I am right about the statistics though! ... ... yet the rest of the post goes unaddressed. there are valid reasons in this country why people who may "claim" to be a member of this or that religion aren't as charitable as YOU think they should be to some stranger who waltzes up to their door. overgeneralizations will get you nowhere I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

frick man what's with these ridiculous birthdays? i mean really, eh? is it really his birthday? no way... effectively, what you're saying is that alex shares the same birthday as chuck and spence. what are the odds? if it's true, happy birthday, ac. if this is just another way to garner support for someone who you think was unjustly banned, well, I won't have any part of that. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

exactly!! I hope I never get like that in real life... I still dream of Chris Martin, too. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

don't forget to uncurl your toes first. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

too many to recall, but some of the more memorable ones... this one recurs often... my friends are all jumping, but i'm stuck on the ground w/o a rig... but i lay my head back and spred my arms out and i lift off the ground and ascend into the air and I'm rising and falling, rising and falling at will. another one... I jump w/ a rig, playing around in the sky, pull too low, hit the ground at either line stretch or partial inflation but I don't suffer any damage. bizarre. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

But they make superb chocolate, right? Get your priorities right! What's more important to you'se Girlies?... Voting or CHOCOLATE? Mike. PS: What's the point of having girlies in politics in a country full of cuckoo clocks? BEST. POST. EVER!!! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Every time he posts. That's one hell of a hat!! Just another magnificent power of the hat. Its like a supernatural swiss army hat. something tells me that in rl's case it's more than just the hat. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

[Emperor Palpatine voice] Oh, you shall bow, young lisamarie, you shall bow... or you SHALL... DIE!!! [/Emperor Palpatine voice] I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

when I look at the hat my pants get tight. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

You are most welcome. I respect the hat and the maker of said hat in part b/c of my pathetic attempts to make a similar chapeau. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

long live the tin-foil hat. and all you critical women, watch out, he weilds some power while wearing that hat... note he made rl's toes curl... hard... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

There are plenty of people who don't consider Catholics to be Christians . I have a Baptist friend at work who's married to a Methodist. She said that her minister had a real problem marrying her to a non-Christian. Wendy W. What I've found is that most people who don't think Catholics are Christian really don't understand Catholicism and/or believe inaccuracies about the Catholic religion, such as Catholics worship Mary, pray to statues, etc. When such myths are dispelled, these non-Catholic Christians are usually pretty quick to acknowledge that Catholics are Christians as well. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

you've missed my points... Funny tangential story... My college friend Patrick is as Catholic as they come. He moves into his dorm and meets his assigned roommate and roommate's parents. Somehow the fact that Patrick is Catholic comes up in the conversation. At which point roommate's mom says, in her best church lady voice: "You're Catholic? We're Christian. Are Catholics Christian?" He got a lot of mileage out of that story. I actually still get that alot... a lot of protestants, at least here in the "south" don't realize that their name, "protestant" came from protesting against catholicism... for 1.5k years, the catholic church pretty much WAS the christian church (w/ nods to eastern rites, etc.) It's amazing. What I tell my non-catholic christian friends is, instead of harping on our differences, let's just boil this thing down to least common denominators for the sake of foregoing heated, protracted arguments... you believe in Jesus, we believe in Jesus. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

lisamarie, you crack me up. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

happy burfday, old monkey! i'd take you out to drink like vikings if you weren't playing in the woods, but hey, maybe next time... have a great day bro. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

omg. that just creeps me out. i'm going to have nightmares now of a big ampulex wasp injecting the base of my skull w/ it's stinger and leading me around my house, making me murder my children, then it'll fly away, framing me for their deaths. and i'll fry in the electric chair for it. thanks grue. thanks alot. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I loved it. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

"shut your mouth" I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

you've missed my points... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

good point, that. nice post on beef, btw. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Is it against the rules to tell a moderator to fermez la bouche? lol!! in his case, hell no I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I don't understand why a person would convert to the religion just because he experienced good treatment by people of that religion. Why not just BE the way they were, ACT the way they did? Do you have to suddenly adopt belief in their GOD and their religious customs? Isn't treating others hospitably just a humanist thing to do? - Right, but how often does that happen in this country? If I showed up at someone's door here and asked for some hospitality, they would either call the cops or slam the door in my face! Real Christian of them....huh? 1. Come to my house and ask for some hospitality. You might be surprised at what you receive. Ask Muenkel and Michele. And I'm not just a Christian, I'm a Catholic. 2. Not everyone in this country is Christian. 3. The very real possibility of being a victim of crime influences people's desire to be charitable to a stranger in the scenario you propose. 4. What I have found in this country is that many, many people I wouldn't expect to be charitable just based on their appearance are extremely charitable when they see someone in need. Of course, I do not know their religious affiliation, but since you're generalizing that most Americans are Christians, I guess I'll fall into that trap too.... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

You behave yourself, or instead of putting her on a plane back to Jersey, I'll bring her with me. Edited to add: ETA is probably the 18th or 19th or thereabouts, unless I stop in Dublin, in which case, I'll probably just go to New Jersey and come back to Virginia the next weekend. OMG, you BEST bring your ass and BECK's too to Dublin... I had to royally kiss my wife's ass to get me to go. Don't let me down, rl! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...
