Will buying indulgences really save my immortal soul from eternal hellfire?
I can’t believe it’s 1346 and we’re still fighting over the French Crown. God’s teeth, how long is this war going to last?
In The Pit:

My serpent loving trollop of a wife got us banned from The Garden!
That was a funny one. That dude got piled on by every member of the board then. Namely Eve1.
Reply #1 by A kai W: Kids. :rolleyes: You tell them they have the whole Garden to enjoy, and just leave one tree, one damn tree alone, and what do they go and do?
Maybe you should try telling them to get off your lawn…
Or telling them the difference between right and wrong so they know it’s wrong to disobey you.
Happy Days 9/20/77: I am officially done with this show (Spoilers!)
Wasn’t that the thread where Lightbringer flamed all over everyone, stomped off to the Pit, and got banned?
I remember that guy! Wasn’t he the one who tried various other socks afterwards: Beelzebub, and Beast666, and such? Anyway, according to a PM I got from Dante_A, he’s hanging out at some place called Inferno.net now.

I met him at a Dopefest in Georgia once. He plays one mean fiddle.
I pit MS (ManuScript) Word 1000.

Should I get my friend to ask this girl out?
He’s still king of the snark boards, though. I only went there once; it was horrible. An unending flood of jealousy and negativity.
And that’s all I’ll say about that.

Greetings from Chicago, where the World’s Columbian Exposition is now playing host to a Parliament of Religions! So many faiths are represented here that it can be hard to distinguish between their respective tenets. I propose, however, that humor may be both a delightful and edifying way to accomplish my goal. So I’m asking missionaries and scholars of religion to assist me in crafting a few jokes. If you would be so kind, please complete the following jape:
A Mahometan, a Hindoo, and a Heathen Chinee enter a saloon. The publican looks up from the tankard he is pouring and asks…
Reply #1 from World Traveler: The term Mahometan is to be avoided, as the people of Araby do not worship Mahomet as we Christians do Jesus. Please use Musulman instead.
Reply #2 from OrientExpress Fan: Also, the Musulman’s faith requires that he abstain from intoxicating liquor, so he would be most unlikely to enter a saloon.
Reply #3 from CathayCathy: To pick yet another nit, the term heathen Chinee is best avoided (especially on a forum which reaches into Asia, where I am currently posted as a missionary). Chinamen and Chinawomen (note the terms) are of many faiths, some of which contain great wisdom. Even though we are seeking (and often succeeeding) to bring these people to Jesus, we find we have more success when we show respect for their old ways, as opposed to simply mocking them in the fashion employed by the likes of Bret Harte.
