you're right for once. wiping my ass does remind me of GB's posts.
nice to see you're getting some mileage from that sub i made you buy.
I'm hoping to develop something--- anything--- substantive with regard to real life between now and the expiry of this year's subscription in order to avoid future payments. Any suggestions?

as for the substantive project, i'm tempted to suggest an altar to GB in your basement, but i'm fairly sure you already have one of those. i guess, being an avowed Christian, doing something for the world's poor might be an attractive idea?

Do you believe even 1/4 of what you say?
I think you just like to stir the pot.

Originally posted by BlackampI kinda cotton to the altar idea, but I'm afraid of the fire hazards such a set up would present, given the exposed wood beams in such close approximation with all those candles and incense.

i take it that the idea of helping the world's poor didn't resonate? i guess for a lot of people Christianity is about saying 'hallelujah' and 'amen, brother' a lot and quoting scripture, and not so much about 'love thy neighbour', 'turn the other cheek', and divesting oneself of material possessions in order to focus on the kingdom of heaven.
