There is one guy here named JesusTitties who would have fit right in with us over on FB.

I guess Jerry got tired of funding our little crap flinging festival over on FB, I can't really blame him, we weren't getting much accomplished.

I don't come around here often but it is an interesting board.

Ah, I thought you might catch the hints.

The chat function still works over there so I was able to find out what's going on, Jerry is in the process of upgrading the forum. So it'll be back up some time or another. In the meantime me and spawn are hanging out here in the meantime. Deus and Xaffer signed up too. ali is hanging out here under the name milton. You're right, this forum is purty cool too.

Oh, I'm Chanadler Bong at this forum too.

Well, it seems that I am allready a member at the GWB.org forum under the name "Asimov". I signed up there back in April and forgot about it. While I may post a bit, I'll probably just wait until FB is back up. That's my home away from work

On Mondays, NPR is running a series called "This I Believe," for which various contributors read a short (500 word) essay.

This morning was Penn Jillette, of Penn and Teller.

Here's the audio, in Real Media...

... and here's the text.

Thanks for passing that on, Smarty. A certain person I'm married to will really enjoy it.

Death is but is not lasting.
To pass a dead bird,
The notice of it is,
Yet walking on
Is gone.
The thought remains
And thought is all I know of death.

Gregory Corso

I believe that it takes much more faith to deny the existence of God than it does to embrace it.

Thanks for sharing this, SP - I went back and read some of the old essays - amazing. Did you know that anyone can contribute?
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=4538138

Just click on "Contribute an essay"

I'd Love to see several of us submit essays - I mean, if they really want to hear from people from all walks of life - why not from us?

This is fascinating, weird and disturbing:

Someone posted on Julia Sweeney's blog that while channel hopping, they caught Victoria Jackson (former colleague of Sweeney's on SNL), singing a song about Sweeney on TBN's "Praise the Lord" program. A simple Google search turned up the video.

What's that word that comes to mind....? I know: "Yeesh!!"

Check it out: Click here and choose the show for 12/1. Jackson's interview begins about 28 minutes into the show. (Set your Media Player slider.)

San Francisco runs a weekly test of the city's emergency warning system every Tuesday and the siren went off as I was watching this and Jackson began to sing. All the dogs in my neighborhood began howling wildly. I must say it greatly enhanced the experience! LOL!!!

Interesting that Jackson describes Sweeney's performance as two hours of "making fun" of Christianity. She clearly wasn't paying attention, or her upset over Sweeney's giving intelligent and insightful thought to the subject of religion and discussing her personal beliefs prevented Jackson from seeing the show as anything more than a comic attack on Christians and Christianity.
