Visit http://www.nonprophetsradio.com for connection information! (Non-Prophets)' [13:28] aaaah, music [13:29] Yup, just testing the connection. Nice to know it works [13:29] soothes the savage beast in me [13:29] it's loud and clear [13:29] It's been storming here today - on the off chance that we lose internet, but not power, we'll keep going and just post the podcast as normal [13:29] If we lose power...well, you get a shorter show. :) [13:30] heh. yep [13:30] somebody must have been praying pretty hard [13:31] * libraryjuice has joined #nonprophets [13:31] hm. yes. pray for a storm to knock those terrible awful atheists off the air... [13:31] that would probably be pat robertson [13:32] he seems to have the patent on turning hurricanes and predicting meteors [13:32] All those atheists spreading their Nazi propoganda [13:32] If he's hearing the lord correctly [13:32] terrible terrible... [13:33] great AE show last week by the way [13:33] * Targetta has joined #nonprophets [13:33] and now old grinch-face has predicted a terrorist attack "sometime" this year [13:34] isnt there a terrorist attack of some scale every day? [13:34] pretty much [13:34] second half of this year - may or may not be nuclear - oooohhh scary [13:34] yeah, all the poor in the world [13:34] so she was RIGHT! [13:35] "that's exactly what I predicted" [13:35] that's an everyday terrorist attack [13:35] Pat robertson is a he [13:35] well... [13:35] well, I'm not sure about that [13:35] "I did not say the attack was going to be all at once" [13:35] given old grinch face, it's hard to tell now [13:36] Bill O'rielly should be on the Colbert Report some time. SHouldn't miss that. [13:36] I bet he is bang on the money like he was with the hurricanes and tsunami [13:36] is it me, or do all those conservative have that same grinch face quality when they get up there in years? [13:37] do you know when trevor? I haven't been watching him lately [13:37] I am not sure [13:38] I find the show somewhat annoying now, not because of Colbert, but because of the audience he draws [13:38] how so? [13:39] He'll say something half sarcastic about liberals destroying america and the audience will cheer [13:39] or atheists [13:41] The Colbert audience is really annoying [13:41] * scarlett75 has joined #nonprophets [13:41] yeah, you know what I mean [13:41] hey all [13:41] Good day [13:42] I think you're wrong about the audience [13:42] They will cheer his joke and play along [13:42] The audience will accept anything though. They have no standards [13:42] If he says that Deomcrats are destroying america, teh audience will cheer becuase of the joke [13:43] Even when he does a bad joke that hes done far too many times, they still applaud like hell [13:43] You are missing the fact that they dont sincerely agree with his words [13:43] Who's missing it? [13:43] He may say it as an intro to a joke and they'll still cheer like crazy [13:44] First of all, studio audiences will applaud for dud jokes. That is what they are there for. [13:44] that's correct [13:44] And even if they dont applaud, you will likely HEAR applause. [13:44] It is TV, ya know. [13:44] audiences are often paid to be ther and to respond to the applause sign [13:44] Second, I think most shows are great [13:45] and the jokes are mostly great [13:45] I'm not talking about the studio audience so much as the audience in general. I use applaud in general as well [13:45] The home audience? [13:45] His fans would laugh at anything he said whether its funny or not. They're not all that different from the O'Reily fans [13:45] what are you guys discussing? [13:45] Home, studio, internet, wherever [13:45] the Colbert Report [13:46] The fans of the Colbert [13:46] Aha [13:46] scarlet, Colbert Report [13:46] thanks [13:46] I think you are way off, ChristOnlce [13:46] I think his show IS extremely funny. [13:46] * atxcats has joined #nonprophets [13:46] I prefer the daily show [13:46] I'm a huge fan of Colbert since well before this show and I think that what he does now is hit and miss at best [13:46] Maybe your sense of humor is just different [13:47] hello atx [13:47] I like them both [13:47] May be, but standards are standards. And when a joke is being trotted out for the 37th time because someone is too lazy to write new material, it is sub-standard [13:47] hi scarlett! [13:47] I also like the daily show of course, but Colbert Report is a different kind of humor [13:47] More tongue in cheek [13:47] I think Colbert relies on more sarcasm than Stewart [13:47] He sure studied O'Reilly [13:48] Every word colbert says mocks O'reilly and his ilk [13:48] I get what he's going for, and sometimes it works, but it just isn't as polished as it should be, and it isn't as funny as the fans seem to say [13:48] You gotta like that efficiency [13:48] I diasagree [13:49] 4NONPROPHETS: What has happened to The Euthyphro Project? [13:49] is the site down? [13:49] I feel like I need a taco and some salsa [13:49] Is the results in on the HIGHEST RANKING ELECTED ATHEIST? [13:49] yep, you just get Omni something [13:49] It's like the uproar Jon Stewart gets when he does a pot joke. People may laugh a bit at the joke, but they're so big on the pot aspect that they overdo it [13:50] The material is migrating to Iron Chariots [13:50] Nonprophets: Thanks! [13:50] I know what you mean COI [13:50] Has anyone heard Rodrigo y Gabriela? [13:50] Both shows do that [13:50] guess I shouldn't have complained about the music [13:51] the music they were just playing (gypsy kings?) reminded me of R y G [13:51] They both do, but the nature of Colbert's show creates a constant problem for it [13:51] still semi-afk, but atxcats has certainly figured out how to get my attention...any messages to me should be similarly obvious [13:51] People are so ripe for anti-O'Reily humor that they'll pretend any joke thrown is brilliant whether it is or not. [13:52] Colbert on his show is a character. And he tries to stay in character even when you can totally see he is not serious [13:52] And start laughing and cheering even before the joke is over [13:52] Trevor, I very clearly get what the show is, what the character is, etc. You don't need to explain that [13:53] Maybe you have seen a bad show or 2 COI, but I think 95% of his shows are top notch. Some of the best shows on TV. [13:53] You seem to be faulting him for being an O'rielly clone and how the audience applauds it [13:53] The quality overall isn't as large an issue as the lack of scrutiny on the part of the audience [13:53] Someone let me know when this discussion is over, please [13:54] You want an audience to only laugh when you think things are funny? [13:54] Have you actually read anything I've written? Political positions have absolutely nothing to do with my position [13:55] No, but when they're laughing ridiculously at every word said, even when its been done to death, I suspect that they're being as sincere as Ditto-heads [13:55] And on Colbert Report, the exuberence of the fans is part of the joke. [13:56] so, atxcats....how's your week been? [13:56] There's a running gag how Colbert is applauded as he walks over to a guest, instead of the guest being appplauded. [13:56] sure is cold outside.. [13:56] They may be used to an advantage, but that doesn't change their lack of comedic standards. At any rate, we're sort of bludgeoning the room here and should perhaps stop [13:56] * zippyapparition has joined #nonprophets [13:57] hi zip [13:57] that it is rude... [13:57] Hi [13:57] it was actually 28 degrees her in sunny CA, this morning [13:57] yeah, it dropped below freezing here too [13:57] scarlett -- fine, just getting busy with school starting soon! and you (i've been reading your lj, and sounds like you've been having a rough spot?)

Wait a few days, it'll be 80 degrees [13:58] yeah, a bit of a rough spot, [13:58] nice! [13:58] Libertarians suck. [13:58] libertians suck -- [13:58] lol [13:58] they suck what...? [13:58] lollipops?

[14:16] * Judas has joined #nonprophets [14:16] His family thinks he's a nut job [14:16] tik: I wonder where he can do more damage [14:16] so what is the forula for a spherical shell? holy mackerel.

[14:17] yep, tik, and that's where he's at now :-( [14:17] Judas...can you take a sad song and make it better? [14:17] I didn't kiss his ring - honest [14:17] Hey, Judas, don't make me sad, take a sad song and make it leftovers.... [14:17] Steeeeeeeeeeeeve [14:17] :) [14:17] I still didn't like him in office [14:18] I wish he'd join a monastery [14:18] that doesn't allow children to visit [14:18] So do I, except Catholics aren't Christians, you know... [14:18] Oi [14:18] damn, I love my mac... [14:18] me too, rude [14:19] nice snort [14:19] Are there such things as secular Christians? [14:19] LJ- yes, but not many [14:19] unitarians? [14:19] Far out [14:20] What a bunch of weirdos. [14:20] Are there any secular Muslims? [14:20] I no longer observe that stuff... I'll say that to the next door-to-door religious salesfolk [14:20] Not really, they're atheists who go on about the "teachings of christ" as if he said anything new [14:20] "Would you like a copy of the watchtower?" [14:20] "No, I no longer observe that shit." [14:21] they never visit us [14:21] LJ- Fewer, but there are some [14:21] What's that line from weird science? "Why don't you bend over, and I'll shove it straight up your ass?" [14:21] they learned not to visit me [14:21] they avoid pork and practice Ramadan. [14:21] (to the watchtower vendors) [14:21] far out [14:21] I occasionally void pork [14:21] I think anyone who says they are a Christian who says that they aren't sure if God exists or not, doesn't believe that Jesus was divine, and thinks the bible is a fable - Well, they are a secular Christian. [14:21] er.... [14:21] let me rephrase that... [14:21] no Manishevitz? [14:22] There are plenty of people like that [14:22] 4NONPROPHETS -- which store was that, russell? [14:22] * Nite has joined #nonprophets [14:22] good nite! [14:22] slip em an inch... [14:22] give the xtians an inch and they'll turn it into a 1300 year dark age [14:22] nice rude [14:22] The JW's visit me every week and invited me to a "meeting" today [14:22] ha- rude [14:22] Are you gonna go Target? [14:22] Just like Valentine's Day is secular. I don't worry about its history. [14:22] every week, Targetta? why? [14:22] When my DSL was not yet connected, I was hoping some JWs or similar would come knocking. [14:23] heh [14:23] DSL makes you do that? huh. [14:23] * Nite is now known as Nite_Beast_65 [14:23] a lack of it. [14:23] Good Nite Beast! [14:23] No i wouldn'y go to a church but I lovr talking to them about their shitty religion [14:23] inspired boredom [14:23] ah, I see [14:23] too true too true [14:24] Don't give them blood [14:24] "Hey, nice little shitty religion you guys have! Want a drink?" [14:24] Anyone see Deconstructin Harry with the blowjob prayer? [14:24] lol [14:24] no, christ [14:24] what with a who? [14:24] no [14:24] where? [14:24] Woody Allen is easily a favored secular jew [14:24] link us, CoI [14:24] An Israelii friend of mine told me about how there is a phrase (which I don't remember now) for "going back to God", which means that men in their late 30s whoo aren't married are told that if they come back to the Synagogue on a regular basis and donate, they will be "found" a wife. [14:25] Will do... [14:25] oh, it's a movie, righ? (Deconstructing Harry?) [14:25] what, a youtube? [14:25] Well, sure--go where the women are, and you'll have better luck getting a date. [14:25] that's why I still hang out in bars [14:25] No. It will be arranged. It's a straight deal. [14:25] and end up dating a bottle [14:25] or a large mug [14:26] tee hee [14:26] once did a turn with a tumbler [14:26] and got shot down with a shot glass [14:26] That's what he said. But then he was quite anti-religion, so maybe he was regurgitating anti-religion stuff. Who knows. [14:26] http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118954/ --Deconstructing Harry [14:26] I think my husband could make us a festivus pole [14:26] And here I am re-gurgitating it too. [14:26] er...

[14:27] Oh, you mean like telling someone they MUST be Christian [14:27] it's festivuspoles.com [14:27] (*@&#)(!*@#& [14:27] Is that like a Maypole? [14:27] Its the most brilliant of his films new or old [14:27] No, it was invented in 1966: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus [14:28] Can someone point me to the software I need to listen to the stream?

Beer time [14:28] yes, because I don't know of any evangelical deists [14:28] yeah [14:29] I've never had a deist knocking on my door with leaflets.

[14:32] what sort of messed up youth do you have in the US? [14:32] sounds like my old high school [14:32] yeah, lj, and i never succeeded any any of those [14:32] atxcats: but not through lack of trying! [14:32] ;) [14:32] yeah, I sure tried! [14:33] he he.

[14:34] lol [14:34] yeah, but butt protection from the vacuum [14:34] * tik2roo has quit IRC (tik2roo) [14:34] Just a valve in the back of the suit to let the pressure out. [14:34] could that be an evolutionary convenience? [14:34] perhaps you are a mutant that can handle space work [14:35] yeah. Maybe I'm evolving into a space-being. far out. Sagan didn't see that one coming. [14:35] or darwon [14:35] darwin [14:35] lol darwon [14:35] he did. [14:35] spelled correctly. [14:35] the thesist look like fools. [14:35] damned arthritis [14:35] it's nice. It's the past-tense of darwin. [14:35] yeah [14:36] at his age he's past tense [14:36] and the idea won. [14:36] yep. [14:36] Maybe it should be darwon day. But that does smack a little of gloating. [14:37] I don't mind gloating [14:37] Pah. For many people religion is just a social label - aspirational mostly. Rligion will only stop being popular when the label has negative connotations. Lots more stories about paedophile priests, crimilal christians and so on. It's a war od attrition. [14:38] Scarlett -- your daughter is a damn fine writer -- what grade is she? [14:38] she is in 7th grade. [14:38] Scarlett -- she's a damn fine thinker, too [14:38] thank you, atx [14:39] Does drinking a caffeinated drink on "asshat" count? [14:39] * libraryjuice makes coffee [14:39] yes, lj [14:39] only if you're Mormon, LJ [14:39] ;) [14:39] good point, scarlett. have they said asshat yet? [14:39] not yet [14:40] it's ASSHAT time [14:40] or we can play red light, green light, asshat light [14:40] * zippyapparition has quit IRC (zippyapparition) [14:40] I already drank my wine, and I don't want to drink anymore, so it's diet lime coke now [14:40] hm [14:41] okay, room, Corona or Milwaukee's Best? Let's vote on what Rude need to fill his braincase... [14:41] * zippyapparition has joined #nonprophets [14:41] Corona [14:41] these guys are very mellow today [14:41] do you have any limes? [14:41] yeah, they are [14:41] No limes [14:41] true that (mellow) [14:41] too much dope [14:42] * Aerik has joined #nonprophets [14:42] that's what atheists do all the time [14:42] heathens [14:42] LOL- I was juts going to say- "I wonder if they got ahold of the good shit this week?" [14:42] lol [14:42] they're smoking the acapulco gold this week? [14:42] Hey Scarlett75! Guess what I did? I forgot this is the only live podcast that's in my time zone [14:42] on a boat - pirates [14:42] on land, ninjas [14:42] hey, did the one of the NPs go to Cancun for a brick? [14:42] DOH! Aerik [14:42] Hi Aerik! [14:42] hey atxcats [14:43] they are subdued [14:43] * NeutronJack detects a HUGE time sink emerging. [14:43] what about the listeners who just don't care what role playing? :) *smooches* [14:43] Aha, y is the axis of evil, x is the axis of lawfulness [14:43] and z is...? [14:43] eeew, NJ glad we don't have smell-o-vision [14:43] If we answer, will you ask about w? [14:43] Sg-1 guys going after Gawd.... hee hee [14:44] cthulu would whip them all. [14:44] if we hear dice hitting the table, I'm out [14:44] or chuffling cards [14:44] 4 Left Behind'ers can only hope to be as doomsday-ish as the Orii on SG-1 [14:44] if we hear a bong, however,.... [14:44] make that :"c" and "s" [14:44] then its party time [14:44] exactly, Rude [14:44] All this dungeons and dragons talk was related to a letter? geez [14:44] i liked mr deity [14:44] As Ricky Gervais once said "we know the bible is true because the other name for it is the gospel" [14:45] Gervais has some great material on the Bible [14:45] yep. that's a producer [14:45] we need more Gervais [14:45] teh talk over on animals is awesome [14:45] in hollywood [14:45] Yeah, [14:45] he is a great atheist [14:46] The third stand-up installment in the series starts soon [14:46] and funny as hell [14:46] yeah he is on tour next month [14:46] 4 I have to deal with bible-bleating Chistian family members in a way few other people can: one of them ran for governor. [14:46] do you have Animals and Politics? [14:47] wow, aerik! [14:47] Yeah [14:47] Waiting for Fame to hit the internet [14:47] love his hitler stuff [14:47] it was my aunt. She's a Baptist Minister. 5 Quirky: she's pro-choice, which killed her chances here in Kansas. [14:47] * NeutronJack drinks! [14:48] yeah...why don't these "I can prove God" people actually hold up their theories for the same criticism they view science through [14:48] did I miss an asshat? [14:48] cause they know they'll lose, so they just cling to their belief [14:48] Scarlett, the problem is that the criticism consists of "what does the bible say about it" and nothing more [14:49] Aerik, are you "out" to your family? [14:49] Yup [14:49] oh, I know... it just pisses me off when I run into Christians who do the "I can prove evolution is wrong" and then spout some crap that only shows how little they understand evolution [14:49] Yeah [14:49] Yes, they start talking about the Big Bang. I say, "huh?"!! [14:49] I don't think my aunt is genesis-fundy, but she does love to read from the bible alot every time the family gets together. [14:50] There are no fossil records! [14:50] no transition fossils [14:50] they have no proof or respect for a second opinion, so they always use their fallback position, "Well, I believe it and you can;t disprove it so there." [14:50] EVERYTHING is a transitional fossil [14:50] She's the perfect example of a bible cherry-picker [14:50] lol [14:50] Yeah, there are still some Baptists that aren't that fundy [14:50] What an odd phrase: "in one sock"? [14:50] I'm a transitional fossil. Look at these legs... [14:50] they can never explain to me how you decide which bible verses to take literally [14:51] *wolf whistles at rude's legs* [14:51] Why are you wearing fishnets, Rudeboy? [14:51] naw. just the usual panty hose [14:51] did Matt say his family stopped sending him religious crap? [14:51] Yes. [14:51] isn't the mailing of shit illegal? [14:52] It's always surreal to listen to her bible-dicting. She *never* reads the fire-and-brimstone stuff. She loves the 1-Co. stuff about love (huge feature of my grandmother's funeral). But I bet if I really confronted her about the genocidal, misogynistic, classist god her new testament is built upon I could make her cry. [14:52] Matt will become the Commander of the special forces .;) [14:52] I wish mine would send me some, I need some laughs [14:52] Depends on the conditions and recepient, rude [14:52] ah [14:53] Harlan Ellison, the writer, once got back at one of his publishers by mailing them bricks, one a day for weeks [14:53] You could always volunteer to read verses of your choice, Aerik, but in the interest of family harmony, perhaps not! [14:53] Sealed shit is fine to send to anybody until they ask you to stop (this is all for the U.S.) [14:53] after several weeks of getting these brincks all carefully wrapped in butcher's p[aper [14:53] he sent them a follwo up letter... [14:53] "Will you revert the rights to my book, or do I send you the rest of the shithouse?" [14:54] I always loved that story [14:54] If only Ellison's fiction were as good [14:54] I like a lot of his non fiction [14:55] moreso than his fiction [14:56] except for the fact that they hold BILLIONS in bank accounts [14:56] and they impose a 10% tithe on all members [14:57] and they own more land than anyone else, or so I've heard, no sure of the truth of that one [14:57] so... technically, if we all ordered BoM's, it'll just take food out of some family with 7 kids mouth [14:57] From CIA World Factbook: Protestant 52%, Roman Catholic 24%, Mormon 2%, Jewish 1%, Muslim 1%, other 10%, none 10% (2002 est.) [14:57] So, 2% Mormon... Atheists are typically a higher number. [14:57] lol [14:57] atxcats: the family harmony is breaking up in spite of my passivity. Recently another aunt had the "nerve" to say this actually true statement about our lame xmas celebration re-scheduling: "People should get together because they want to, not because they have to." and everybody is farking pissed! lol [14:57] 8 hour lunch, a parody of the ten year lunch? [14:58] (In the USA) [14:58] You guys are "Sweet Spirits" [14:58] SMITHMAS [14:59] MERRY SMITH-MAS (he was born on Dec. 23rd) [14:59] put em in a pot and stir slowly [14:59] yeah, cause' it's really easy to bring them to a boil [14:59] methmas [14:59] hic [14:59] I just ordered the BOM(b) [15:00] One Mo Holiday is Pioneer Day [15:01] yea [15:01] they dress up in Prairie Garb and pretend like they're in the Martin Handcart Company (of which lots of people died). It'd be like Californian's doing Donner Day [15:01] ah, now that's a holiday [15:01] Donner day folks , time to FREEZE! [15:01] Pass the femur [15:01] Hey, let's eat Jeb, he's still got meat on his bones [15:02] actually- as someone who was in the arhceological excavation of the Donner tent location... [15:02] Or a coloradan celebrating Alferd Packer (I don't think it's a holiday) [15:02] I have to say, we found no evidence for the consumption of humans [15:02] Anyone see Kids in the Hall "Inexperienced Cannibal" [15:02] wello, perhaps they needed extra calcium and ate the bones too? [15:03] Kids! love 'em, but don't remember the cannibal [15:03] nah, actually- the kids who survived claimed that they boiled animal skins and bones to get a gluey-soup [15:03] Sometimes, history is often exaggerated [15:03] anywya [15:03] sleeeeeeeeeeeup [15:03] Yes, you said it once already. [15:03] * NeutronJack takes another drink. [15:03] yep [15:03] C'mon guys, I'm parched. [15:03] uh oh [15:03] 4 Did he just say Lib-Re-Tarian ? [15:03] is it time for libertarian and asshat? [15:04] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WVyo88U-08 --KITH sketch [15:04] Alferd Packer supposedly ate 5 of the 7 democrats of Hinsdale county [15:04] lol [15:04] heh [15:04] thanks, Ice! [15:04] But it didn't count because he wasn't in a state [15:04] * libraryjuice shrugs. politics. [15:04] pah [15:05] 4agrees with LJ [15:05] lol [15:05] too funny [15:05] I feel like I should be more interested than I am. But I an synical enough to think that anyone who want to get involved in running anything (especially countries with militaries) should on no account be allowed to do the job. [15:05] cynical even [15:06] that's right -- Ice. One of the dining areas at CU Boulder is named after Packer [15:06] * NeutronJack has been there. [15:06] Just go around tuning the crosses over. [15:06] Yeah. Check out Cannibal The Muscial from Trey Parker, atx [15:06] *turn [15:07] Oh, I love cannibal movies, thx. [15:07] They would say the road would/shouold be privately owned, so the owner could say who puts what by the road. [15:07] yep [15:08] libertarians are pretty much for private ownership everywhere [15:08] * libraryjuice shrugs. Maybe they have a point. I don't know how we couold change society from how it is now to something else without bloodshed. Revolutions are always a nightmare. [15:08] depends on the type of libertarian [15:09] some are total anarchocapitalists [15:09] some an minarchists [15:09] ah yes. [15:09] In the UK, the libertarian point of view is not widely known about. [15:09] IT does make for some fun science fiction [15:09] read the Probability Broach and the followup books by L.Neil Smith [15:09] .I feel like quoting Ferris Bueller here: "They could be fascist anarchists,...it stilll wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car." [15:10] Enough that I found it intitally refreshing when I heard about it in detail a year or two ago. THat initial interest has subsided. [15:10] heh [15:10] We have very strict gun control in the UK. It sort of works. [15:11] most modern countries have very strict gun control laws and their death rates are far smaller than our own here in the US [15:11] At least we have less murders with guns per head of population than the US. It's not an easy comparison to make though. The Swiss have loads of guns and not so many gun murders. They kill themselves alot with them though. [15:11] yeah [15:11] I'm with Vonnegut. We won't be happy until we live in smaller communities who all know each other. [15:12] thing is, it's NOT the gun but the person holding it [15:12] rudeboy: yeah, but if the people are American - Bob help us! [15:12] right [15:12] Americans seem massively trigger happy. [15:12] Praise Bob [15:12] LJ, are you originally american? [15:12] No. [15:12] I'm a limey. [15:12] Trigger Happy- Weird Al... love that song [15:13] You know more of our soldiers were killed by the US in the first gulf war than by the "real enemy"? [15:13] Ah. Its just that you mentioned a few American authors today, so I wasn't sure if you were native UK or not [15:13] The BBCs head of foreign affairs was bombed by the US in northern Iraq in the current mess. [15:13] Several british journalists have been shot by us troops... [15:13] ho hum [15:14] I think giving anyone guns - especially Americans - is a mistake, [15:14] But that's just me, and I don't know shit. [15:14] Didn't Pat Robertson say something stupid lately? Oh, yeah, the US will be the site of a deadly attack in/after late 2007 [15:14] yeah he did say that [15:14] old grinch face [15:14] ChristOnIce: Vonnegut is the closest thing to God. I mentioned Douglas Adams easlier. He's a Brit. [15:15] atxcats: Does the pope shit in the woods? [15:15] Damn, I'm mixing my meta-thingies. [15:15] if he's a bear (??? [15:15] True on the Adam's, I forgot that and just noticed the Vonnegut (quite on target with the god vicinity) and Lovecraft [15:15] do catholics shit in the church? [15:15] He's a fucking scary looking man, that's what he is... eyes like gimlets. [15:15] lol [15:16] Robertson looks like a Keebler Elf (don't know if they have those ads in the UK) [15:16] Hey, hows about this for a fun idea - "church-dump-reviews.com". Go to churches, and take a nice shit in their public toilets, and review the experience online. [15:16] what was it, MArtin Luthor said once, that having a bowel movement was a religious experience or something [15:17] Ratings on attributes such as ventilation, softness of paper, power of hand drier etc. [15:17] lol church dump reviews [15:17] * libraryjuice idly wonders if catholic church toilets are perfumed with incense. [15:17] don;t forget to leave a donation and take a snapshot of your movement [15:17] LJ, I do that on our campus. my building has creepy rest rooms -- the building across the street has granite counters, etc. so I go over there a lot! [15:17] "leave a donation"! lol [15:17] "leave a little something for the vicar" [15:17] Always leave them laughing [15:18] he he, euphemism city! [15:18] should we flush? [15:18] let's buggar the vicar [15:18] of course. [15:18] It's not fair to leave a mess for the cleaner. [15:18] true [15:18] Extreme example: Canada is a constitutional monarchy and the king or queen can't do that. Technically, that would be what some call an absolute monarchy. [15:18] Talking of religious experiences I have just left a massive contribution for Jehovah in my porcelin bowl [15:18] Make sure it's in his personal chair [15:18] otherwise.... pew....! [15:18] * libraryjuice check to see if churchdumpreviews.com is available. [15:18] 5 Family guy: Peter and Librarian: Well our son is potty training. Got any suggestions. "Well there's the popular 'everybody poops' and the less popular 'nobody poops but you.' " well we're catholic... " oh, then you want ' You're a Naughty Child and That's Concentrated Evil Coming Out of You' " Perfect! [15:19] politics aside? [15:19] when has atheism not been political? [15:19] lol!! [15:19] woot [15:19] it's available., [15:19] anyone got 10 bucks spare? [15:20] not me. I'm a pauper [15:20] I have to use toilet pauper [15:20] could use a free blog site I guess. [15:20] enough with the toilet humor.... [15:20] never! [15:20] heh [15:21] Hey, I'm a brit, if it's not coming out of a bottom, or male and dressed in womens clothes, it's not funny. [15:21] yeah, cause' that kid is going to be nice-and-normal after being in a pedophile's care for four years [15:21] I thought they found them because they got a good tip [15:21] God blessed him. *rolls eyes* [15:21] Hey, I'm an American who thinks Benny Hill was Gawd, back in the day [15:22] Benny Hill. He's a tragic figure really. [15:22] And then there was Paul HOgan, the Aussie Benny Hill. His show had its moments [15:23] After his TV series was dropped, he fell into depression and decline, and died alone in his flat. The body wan't discovered for weeks. [15:23] They passed the bill. [15:23] I'm more of a Frankie Howard man. [15:23] Oooooh, missus. [15:23] Benny Hill was laying on hands when he used to slap the old guys head [15:23] thats where Benny Hinn first thought of it [15:24] heh [15:24] Have we ever seen Benny Hill & Benny Hinn in the same room? Did we ever hear of Benny Hinn before Benny Hill died? hmmm [15:24] Well, when what used to be independent channel 9 ran his shows the first time, they didn't realize that Hill often has his women flash boobs. So it was a fun show to watch [15:24] HHHmmmmm [15:24] the second run, all those shots mysteriously disappeared [15:25] Speech! [15:25] Speech! [15:25] 4 is a stupid, boring movie! [15:26] 4 Christmas Story sucks! [15:26] how old is this kid? [15:26] 7th grade, I believe it was said [15:26] Hey has every one done the Blasphemy Challenge on You Tube? [15:26] what is 7th grade? [15:27] We don't have the same system here in the UK. [15:27] Got me. Its been awhile [15:27] about 12 years old [15:27] she's almost 12 [15:27] holy bananas. Has she swallowed a dictionary or what? [15:27] 7th grade out of 12 grades to graduate from the public school system, libraryjuice [15:27] lol [15:27] Well done, Scarlett [15:27] brilliant! [15:27] World's bravest kid! [15:27] and that's a POP essay -- It'd take me a day to do something that good! [15:27] I'd give my hind teeth if only I could write that well now! [15:27] thank you [15:28] 4 FUCK YOU TEACHER [15:28] please see me after class?!?!?! [15:28] oh brother [15:28] AAAARRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!! [15:28] Oh man, this is going to make me angry, yeah?

[15:28] fucking moron [15:28] I'm always impressed at just how smug religious idiots are. [15:29] ignorant...dont know better [15:29] wow [15:29] If we could harness the smugness and turn it into electricity we'd have no energy crisis.

[15:36] there was an atheist family on WifeSwap this week [15:36] i only watched it because of the atheist family [15:37] I missed it.

There was a hilarious panel one day of Grandpa looking pissed off at the tv, and Huey looks confused. "Grandpa, what's so confusing about the title 'wife swap' ?" [15:37] or Trading Spouses...or whatever [15:38] I think I missed that Boondocks [15:38] the Jesus Freak lady was scary [15:38] 4 Wife Swap Is not Trading Spouses. Ask Reggie.
