Sorry if I'm dumping on anyone's religious beliefs, but you've got yours, and I've got mine.

I was just watching "I Love the 70s" while I ate my dinner and for the first time ever, got a detailed description of what H.R. Pufnstuf was about. Sid and Marty Kroft? Were on crack. The kind so strong, it has to be italicized and boldfaced.

In any event, I don't think I should have brought up Mel Gibson's Overinflated Vanity Project at work. Especially considering I kind of had a feeling the reaction I'd get when I said if it had just been about some random guy, it would have been one of the most worthless movies I'd ever seen. Then I got to listen to one co-worker telling me how moved he was during the beating sequences before proudly informing me about all the small children there in his showing to learn how Jesus suffered, one using the discussion to leap head-first into an anti-homosexual rant, and another one happily saying in all seriousness that Jesus was coming back soon and she just hopes she gets to take her eight-year-old son with her when Jesus takes her. (Talk like that about Jesus coming back always freaks me out way more than it should, mostly because if I talked about Aristotle coming back from the dead to take me to Disneyland, I'd be committed to an asylum. Whereas if I pick another dead guy who's been gone two thousand years and a somewhat less copyrighted happiest place on Earth, I'm just one of the faithful.)

Um, I take it back. Major Asshat and Bossman aren't that bad, really. I agree with Woody Allen -- if Jesus comes back and sees what's being done in his name, he's never going to stop throwing up.

I wonder who I have to talk to to keep these people from completely ruining the new supervisor we got in today, because, dude, the pretty. He's very cute in a slightly best-friend-geeky executive type of way, if that makes any sense whatsoever. I don't know, maybe I can shield him from everyone else's mawkish social faux pas with ... hell, I don't know. My overgrown vocabulary?

Jeez, I really hope they don't break him. He's officially the only eye candy I'm getting here. It was a nice little surprise this morning, walking in and being like, "Ooo, it's a new face I don't know. Hi, new face. Got any pretty, pretty friends? I'll bet you do, you widdle bitty pwetty face, you ..." Thank God I didn't say that out loud, because I doubt greeting new supervisors with baby talk gets you anywhere. Unless it does, in which case, we're going to have to start stocking barbecue forks in the cafeteria.

You aere more than welcome to your opinuions and from what I have seen you have been exposed to annoying and higly irritating people who claim to be christians--- anyways, hopefully they will find someother rant to yell at and leave you alone. And as far as the new eye candy goes , well if he isnt impressed by you he is an idiot. I don't agree with everything you say, but you are smart, quickwitted, thoughtful, daring, and a good person.

My ex boyfriend was jewish, and very pro-rapture. He worked at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative, and mostly very christian think tank. His feeling was that if Jesus returned, he'd get a promotion and a bigger office.

I thought it was a pretty good plan myself.

She HOPES she gets to take the eight year old with? HOPES? My god, what, has the kid been actively murdering hobos?

She's probably the same kind of Christian as Mel Gibson.

Who stated in an interview that his wife was a good and wonderful person, but that she was going to Hell anyway because she doesn't share his exact beliefs.

And he wonders why some people don't like him?

...you're kidding! How can you stay married to someone who proclaims you're going to go to hell?

Heh, likely for the same reasons so many people stay married to spouses who make them live there on a daily basis.

One of my favorite bumper stickers ever seen: "Come the Rapture, can I have your car?"

Wishing you the best of luck in eye-candy protection...

got a detailed description of what H.R. Pufnstuf was about

Is it possible to give a brief description of what it was about? I never could stomache the show (I lunged for the 'off' button on the TV whenever I heard the intro music) and if there was a *reason* for it, I'd love to know what it was.

I am going to laugh all afternoon at the idea of Aristotle coming back from the dead to take us to Disneyland.

catholic school has warped my fragile little mind
