> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Enderw24 \* > \*\*Possible names: Laura Schlessinger \*\* I just laughed SO HARD at this that the kids walked in to see what was up. God, that’s just brilliant. I got a laugh outa someone yesterday because I asked them if they could be pregnant. I was taking my EMT test, and so had a “Patient” with respiratory distress, and pain in the abdomen. So, I asked her if she could be pregnant. Now, this is all deadly serious play-acting. She BUSTS up laughing and looks at me, and says, " I’M FIFTY !". Hey man, just doing my job 😃 _Originally Posted by_ **Eve** > [@](#): > > Oooh, if this does turn out to be a virgin birth, just THINK of the interesting religion we have percolating here! > Can we all be apostles? I never thought I would do this, but this is just too perfect. My real name is **Peter**. So, there are now 11 names left on the table. 😃 _Originally Posted by_ **andygirl** > [@](#): > > Eh, there’s enough people crazy about the Virgin Mary to make a precedent. I can handle idolotry. Anyone who wants to, get some tasteful robes and start the apostle thing Uh…what do you mean, who wants to get some tasteful robes? What do you think I’m wearing right now? Chiffon? Turkey baster love. The wifestrocity and I did that for a year, attempting to make little Cartooniverses. It’s an odd way to live, but then I’ve seen odder. SO have you. Admit it. 🙂 Cartooniverse ---

Guin, if it makes you happy you can use it **and** be an apostle. Tasteful robes… I was thinking something in forest green with rainbow trimming? Any thoughts on this? ---

Goody!!! Hey, can the robes have those floor length sleeves (the bottom parts)? That would be cool. We need some rituals. Any suggestions? ---

Yep, I remember having to take an unnecessary pregnancy test the last time I had surgery. Yeah, I know, “lots of women say they couldn’t possible be pregnant.” Well, I’m pretty damn certain I’m not. Why? I’m a guy. But that didn’t matter to whoever looked at my chart, assumed that “Jean-Marc” had to be a woman’s name, and told me to bring a morning urine sample to the lab. Anyway, I hope you’re feeling better soon, **Andygirl**! –sublight. p.s. my vote goes to **Jesus F. Christ**. ---

I know of a good ritual-we all sit in a circle, listen to Lilyth Fair type music, and throw popcorn in the air. ---

I would just like to report that the test is tomorrow. Also, I have ordered a gross of dark blue robes with floor-length sleeves in anticipation. Woo! ---

Dark blue robes? Finally, a religion that you can wear with anything. ---

Well, I’m not pregnant. Thing is, gang, that I’ve already ordered the robes and gone to all this trouble… How about we call it The Church of the Metaphorical AndyChrist? I like that. ---

I had my gallbladder taken out this past April… and when they ran tests… for al the pain involved in the whole situation… they ran a pregnacy test without even telling me, i just saw it on the bill. I tol dthese people not only have I not been sexually active for five years… but I am a lesbian. Sheesh… whaddya gotta do? The pelvic exam alone could have told them… believe me… the doctor commented to that effect…so why the added misery and expense… I know the explantion… just seems ridiculous. ---

Just wanted to say that I’m going to the OR in about 5 hours. At some point in idle time, consider the mental image of me wearing a sling and doped to the gills. ---
