oh, i can imagine much longer run on sentances...
I've read Faulkner.

Okay, wow. Now my senior class trip makes much more sense. Granted, the class voted on going to Colorado Springs (26 of 28, w/ me and a friend dissenting for NYC) but I was curious as to why it was in the running in the first place. Part of le grande tour included a journey to the Focus on the Family studio and I swear I saw the Megachurch too but didn't think much of it at the time.

Seige this city for me, signed, Jesus. Jesus Christ on a pogostick.

Head squid??? Please tell me this is a really elaborate hoax. Please.

If you back out to the parent directory, you'll see that it's part of a video game marketing scheme.

And from the insides of these megachurches, it always seems as if it's the bottom of the ninth, they're behind 3-0, with 2 strikes against them, and God's about to hit the grand slam for them. Or at least this is the image they'd like to portray to their rank and file. Keep 'em motivated and on blood pressure meds.

*shudder*

I recall seeing that 38-state map back in the late 1970s. It seems to be very strongly committed to the one acre-one vote theory of those who took heart in the vast sea of red on last year's election maps.

As drawn, it would certainly increase the number of rural senators.

D.

I know it's just part of the marketing for Cold Fear (Ubisoft generally makes great games, btw), and I know that's just Photoshop magic, but goddamn those are creepy images.

I could tell almost immediately that the exocell stuff was for a game, but then I saw that "I Love Bees" material, too. In another very unfunny way, the Soldiers of Christ articles gave me the same creepy feeling as the exocell images. I felt the need to close the screen door behind me.

On a lighter note, I once delightedly watched wealthy and presumably educated people decide to try samples of a lard sculpture on their crackers. The event was a benefit for a college and these people decided that it must be some kind of carved cheese or dip. Fascinating. Some of them probably thought it was very bland cheese.

I could live with the state name of "Superior," which sounds just right, but combining with Wisconsin?! Nooooooooooooooooooo!

Speaking of the dairy state and lard, just this last weekend I had the pleasure of tasting salt-free butter. Why even bother? It coulda been lard or vaseline as far as I could tell. I'd rather have olive oil.
