Have your secretary call my secretary, and we’ll hash out the details 😃 I think that if they’re hiring us on the basis of our meteorsexuality, then they’d then have to kick us out under DADT or whatever. ---

This can only mean one thing: God **likes** drinking, whoring, and gambling! In which case, He’s my kind of god! 🆒 The reason he wiped out the Gulf Coast, then, is because they _weren’t doing enough of it!_ Pretty funny but legitamate point. Do you suppose there’s anyway to reason with religious ignorence. Probably not. I do think this kind of public ignorant statement needs to be called out for what it is. Irrational bullshit. Not as a condemnation of faith or religion in general, but just to challenge bigoted BS. ---

> [@chaoticbear](#): > > You’ve been out of the loop for a while. We can even do it long distance. Tell me if your neighbor’s music ever gets too loud. Oooooh! Can you hit a moving car if they’re one of those obnoxious boom-cars? What about a double-parked car? And please do make sure the car is smashed flat, and there are no recoverable bits of meteorite. If you can’t do that, just send the meteor after my car, but not while I am in it or at work. [Someone in Peekskill, NY had their car hit by a meteorite in 1992](http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021118.html). Before the impact, the car was worth $5000, afterward the car was worth $10000 and the meteorite was worth $69000. ---

Years ago someone told me that they could prove Jesus was gay by the Bible, because John always refered to himself as “the deciple that Jesus loved”. Quite a streach, but some can read anything into what ever they want it to be. Gay or straight, real or imaginary, he had a lot of influence on people. He was also known or called a heavy wine drinker that hung out with the dregs of society. Monavis ---
