Is the logical corollary to “If you ain’t a cowboy, you ain’t shit” “If you _are_ a cowboy, you _are_ shit”? And if not, what is the point of the existence of the universe? ---

I’m thinking this year of off-handedly inquiring how god feels about cosplay. Fanatics vs. fanatics… I’m going big this year. Well, you call them freaks, but in their defence they genuinely believe they are protecting the world from evil with their demonstrations. Now, misguided?

We both giggle with the heebee-jeebees every time “Sloth” starts coughing revealing he’s still alive. He even still has a bunch of pine tree shaped air deodorizers hanging from his 1971 Lincoln Cont. rearview mirror. > [@mbh](#): > > What is Al Pacino like off-camera? He’s actually quite sweet and has a British accent. ---

> [@DrumBum](#): > > So the big guy has a book and you have bupkis. Does that bother you ? The other team has the one book(well three) and while it is quite popular, DA’s team is unbothered as they have all the rest. It is quite possible the that the “Down Under” group actually has the rights to all books and is just playing both sides for fun but the related press releases are rather opaque and no one is answering direct questions as to authorship, to date. **Jim** ---
