Why do smokers think that the world is their ashtray?

I swear my biggest issue with smokers is them throwing cigarette  butts out the windows of their cars.  I’m always tempted to get out of my car, pick up the butt and hand it back to them and say, “Excuse me, I think you dropped this.”

Satanist leaders from around the world are urging their members to boycott the latest installment of the Harry Potter series - “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (book 5)”. To find out why, EGI reporter Gil Le Bell sat down for an interview with Damen Leiv, cult high priest with the Fundamentalist Church of Satan. The interview transcript follows:

Take that Mr. Darwin…

In “honor” of Ken Ham’s Museum of Creationist Mythology Nonsense opening, I thought a nice tribute comic showing his level of scientific integrity was in order.

There is a rumor going around the internet that shortly before Jerry Falwell died, he came out of the closet to a close friend that he was an atheist. It wouldn’t surprise me if it were true. It seems like the people who are the most vocal about something are the ones who are least secure about their feelings (remember Haggard, the anti-gay rights minister in Colorado that turn out to be gay).

Based on how vocal he was, I’m guessing that Falwell was insecure about both his religiousity* and sexuality.

* it seemed like it should be a word.

I found out at 5:00 P.M last night that my 11:00 P.M. game got moved up to 7:00 P.M.   So I packed up all of my equipment and I got to the rink at 6:40 P.M. only to find out that it had been rescheduled for 9:00 P.M.  As I left the rink, I was told that instead of 9:00 P.M. the game would be in 2 weeks.

Oh well, at least we didn’t lose.

• Friday
  • Took Justin to a Pokemon - Diamond and Pearl pre-release tournament.  He won his first round game very quickly, lost a close second round game, got his butt handed to him in the third round and conceded the fourth round just before time was called.
  • The kid he faced in the third round had a VERY good deck for a sealed deck tournament (they hand you unopened booster packs and you have to build a deck).  He had 6 evolutions in his deck including a stage 2, and drew all 6 against Justin.  In comparison, Justin only had 3 evolutions in his deck and no stage 2 evolutions.
  • I worked a little on the Duck Blood Soup (DBS) prequel short story while Justin played.  The girls were at home with a sitter.  Brenda worked.
• Saturday
  • Mowed the lawn with my new mower.  Boy was it a lot easier, and I didn’t even go through 1 tank of gas — the old mower took almost 2 tanks.
  • I bought a bike.  This model, only in blue.  I had been wanting a bike for a couple of years, but had been waiting for Allison to get comfortable on her bike so that we could go on bike rides together.
  • Took a bike ride with Danielle.  Rode to the park in our subdivision.
• Sunday
  • Took a bike ride with Justin and Danielle before breakfast.  Rode to the pond and saw ducklings.
  • Brenda took Danielle and a friend to see Shrek 3.
  • I took Justin, Allison, and her stuffed Penguin, Waddles, to hit a bucket of balls.  Allison thought Waddles hit the balls the best, especially considering it was his first time.
  • We played mini golf also, but Waddles stayed in the car — no way I was going to be showed up by a stuffed Penguin twice in one day.
  • I replaced a couple of sprinkler heads — I was having issues with some of my Toro Super 800’s, so I bought some cheaper Toro heads and installed them — sometimes simpler is better.
  • Brenda took the girls to Chuckie Cheese, so Justin and I experimented with Vegetable Lo Mein for dinner.  It was pretty good.
