where the streets have no name

[jawnbc]

So Himself and I are walking down the street to grab a bite to eat. So we grab hands as we stroll. Then I hears

"Have you read the Bible?"

"Absolutely!"

Don't think he was expecting that chipper response. But I'm still kinda disappointed: I would've enjoyed cheerful ripping to shreds his scripturally-based homophobia. *pout*

Spout off your favorite passage about pharisees if they do try and get uppity with you. But still, good response.

Or you could ask, in a shocked tone of voice, "You mean you haven't?"

Actually his precise words were: 'Are you familiar with the Holy Bible?'

Oh! :)

And I would have enjoyed your report of it. LOL

LOL brilliant
And now I've got the PSB "where the streets have no name/can't take my eyes off you" in my head... tada-tada-tadadadada-tada-tada-tadadadada

Outside of work last week, a guy in a suit was actually trying to trick people into being born again.

He had these cards that he had people place their thumbs on, saying that if the card turned green, they were a good person and if it turned black, they were going to hell. It turned black for everyone and he let them keep the card, then he went off onto this hellfire and brimstone rant. He pulled another card out of his breast pocket at the end and had them hold it and it always turned green.

After a couple of times, I noticed he didn't let anyone keep the second card. I took one of the black cards from someone he'd approached and asked him to see the card that he'd just taken back from someone at the end of his speech. I put my thumbs on both cards and one turned green, the other black.

It's amazing how flexible christian fundamentalists can be about ethics, when they're trying to convert. But man, it's fun to take the wind out of their sales when they see fit to pass judgment and inflict unsolicited suggestions on how to live on innocent passers-by.

I had a scientologist sputtering with rage once when I cut him off with "You had me till Xenu."

I love you so much.

Not too much. We've been buried at work with a huge FCC project that naturally came through right as we're launching a major new client. Much overtime, but it's finally winding down.

I talked to Grandpa the other day; he sounded really happy to have had all of his children there for the anniversary. It was the first thing he mentioned.

ours couture! Fab!

I meant with you, living situation, etc.

Oh, no problems there. Dave ended up getting his own place across town.

Aside from the apartment being messier than usual because I've been working too many hours to clean it, nothing of particular interest.

This is the first time I've ever lived by myself. I thought it would take some getting used to, but I was wrong. Six brothers and sisters will give you a real appreciation for quiet and privacy.

It scared the shite out of me back in 90; really loved it though. Love living with a kewl person; love living alone.
