There are also websites that tell you you don't have to pay income tax at all, and that, even if you did, the money you are paying with is illegal.

It's true.

You should not let a sock get you so angry. It's a bit surprising from a seasoned poster like you.

I just wanted to explain that I hadn't made an anti-ncs post, because Fringey seemed offended.

The soup suggestions are good but you really want to get some Zicam.

And in Sunnybunny's absence, I will also suggest getting one of those weird things to run salt water through your sinuses. I think the one I have is called SinusCleanse and they sell them at Walgreen's. It feels pretty creepy but does help with stuffiness.

I missed the whole part where he said it was about me, not that other LA chick. If you hadn't quoted it, I wouldn't have known at all.

I just thought your sig line was presumptuous.

I understand from watching TV that a teapot will suffice.

If you and I are not friends, then I have no friends here, and "most beloved" has to have friends, unless the vote was mockery, like in Carrie.

You were angry at a sock and it was embarrassing. For us and, mostly, for you.

Harvard taught me many things, but dealing with adversity is not one of them. Especially low IQ adversity. But I commit to try and be more callous in the future. Plus, I'm not old school so I don't know every rule.

Yes, it's more properly a PB/Book Club post. Tough shit. Atticus don't go there no' mo', so it's stuck here.

We've debated ID here (well, there) from time to time. This doesn't really touch on ID as a discipline, per se, but it tries to harmonize religion and science in search of Ultimate Truth.



Gerald Schroeder, in The Science of God*, "advances the dialogue beyond the cliches and stereotypes of which both scientists and religious believers have been guilty."

If that sounds like a book blurb, that's because it is. Nevertheless, it appears to be accurate. I'm still working my way through it, but I'm impresed by Schroeder's ability to look at the strengths and flaws of creationism/evolution and related topics, and finding a middle ground.

Thumbs up from Gattigap.





* RT, feel free to edit to run this through the Lawtalkers link. It's beyond my ken.

You might also be interested in the astrophysical theory of reincarnation proposed by Frank Tipler in The Physics of Immortality, described in passing in this article in Slate. Notice how the Slate writer makes him sound like a doofus by quoting him in his Southern accent, while the Princeton men he quotes are not similarly mocked for their Jersey guido accents.

Old and busted: Mythbusters.
New hotness: Dirty Jobs. If you had told me I should check out a show in which a man jerks off a pig, I would say, "Thanks, Less, but I only have basic cable." And yet there it is, on the Discovery Channel. Good times! I think I have a mancrush on Mike Rowe. Mostly appropriate for kids over four, if you don't mind your kid learning the word "crap" or how to jerk off a pig.

Whoever has me for FB Secret Santa, get me one of these. Be sure to include a commemorative hot sauce packet.

Yessirree, boy, you shore are one smart cookie.

Because I've already ruined Less's week by destroying his fantasy of me lusting after Minnie Pearl, I decided that it was time for an inane poll -- what holiday songs do you hate?

I'll go first -- "Christmas Shoes." Nothing else is even close. Cloyingly sacharine lyrics, emotion-filled white-guy voice rising to a crescendo at the end -- argh.
