Congrats, and don’t worry about offending us.
I think I’m ruder since I’ve become a Christian. Don’t care as much what others think, I guess. Add to that, that I’ve been combatting my predilection for (tasty, tasty) gossip by making it a policy to never say something behind someone’s back that I haven’t said to their face.
So I say a lot of less-than-completely-sensitive stuff to people’s faces now.
Said TriPolar, blithely unperturbed by any sense of impending irony.
I do realize my sense of humor is not universal. But I like yours.
It is unfortunate so many Christians are disconnected from their faith. I tend to think Christianity (and Islam for that matter) are actually fairly rare. Sort of like how it’s rare to find real wasabi–usually you just get something hot that looks like wasabi but is really horseradish. Then people go around thinking they’ve got wasabi in them and they know what it is, but the don’t and have horseradish instead. It feels, superficially like the right thing, but it’s something completely not and most of the time they don’t know it. But every now and then, someone takes the time to dig up a real live wasabi root and pound it into the real McCoy and then they see the light through their tears and realize the lie they’ve been fed for so many years. But when they try to tell anyone about their discovery they are shoved aside and ignored. For making fresh wasabi requires effort and it’s so much easier to eat the paste the hateful priest shoots into your mouth.
I should probably go now. Thanks for not being an anus anymore, The_Peyote_Coyote. I promise not to mistake you for a horseradish Crhristian, and please don’t take offense when I bash horseradish Christians because I don’t mean wasabi Christians like you.
Good for you for getting your life and outlook on life together enough to no longer be a rude anus.
I have a neighbor. He is a really nice anus. Everybody likes a nice anus.
What? No one yet has welcomed our new, Christian Anus Overlords?
“Rude anus?” Isn’t that a street in Paris?
I thought it was a euphamism for Parisian.
Not sure about the impending part of that sentence.
You think 52 is old? I should pit you for that. and for implying my memery might be bad at way over 52.
Well, Lanzy, there are factors other than age that contribute to my declining memory, but feel free to pit me if you like. I’ve never been pitted other than by myself.
To everyone else, especially Capt. Kirk, thank you for your kind and/ amusing words.
I wanna get in on this. Please apologize to me for something, anything! 
Like Bricker I don’t remember the insult either (after all, they’re almost as common as nouns around here :)), but I too appreciate the thought and i thank you for your apology.
You’re welcome, Starving Artist, and thank you for being so understanding.
Nouns, verbs, or adjectives, Coyote is in the clear. Here, everyone is given insults according to their stature.
