That image stuck with me too. It's as if she is looking at the microphone and it's a demon.

Is this immortality but with the ability to take your own life at any time? Or eventually are you going to end up a pile of consciousness being sucked in to an imploding star?

I hadn't looked at the "meat" ones. Did you see the masks? Pretty disturbing.

Sorry to hear about your account. Thanks for the heads up on the "safety" of bitcoin, I'm still not sold on it's long term viability.

His Woodland work is quite impressive.

Great name

I've actually been to Gory Castle but I dare say, it never looked like this. It looms above the town in a really lovely and protective way.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll put it at the top of my list but may have to re-read a Prayer for Owen Meany again first.

I've never actually read any of the books you guys are mentioning except "A Prayer for Owne Meany" and I'm not sure if it deserves to be called the greatest American novel but I can definitely say it's one of my favorite novels. A wonderful story, pretty much read it in a day.

I've noticed you're a fan of bit coin ;-) Honestely, I am just learning about it myself.

I tried the Christina Ricci just now and I'll admit that it's an interesting drink. The coffee does compliment the Scotch (Glenfiddich), but I will admit I think scotch tastes just fine on it's own. Now I must try this "Thunderhead". Have you brewed the ginger beer yet?

This has the potential to anger people. "A fat woman sits beside a balding man in a dilapidated home"

I've never been to SF Bay, I'd like to go someday so please flick your mouse again...

There's a pretty big difference between a Rabbi using their Nail to perform this ritual and a trained physician performing a medical procedure, don't you? I'd agree the Rabbi-Nail version is disgusting.

Interesting, I would not have thought the Pols were the least productive. I would have assumed it was the Italians. I've worked with some, but I think I need a larger test group before I start making assumptions.

I went to a zoo recently and I saw many young people there wearing shirts that just said "Jesus" on the front. They were teenagers.

I think being an atheist should be the default. Unless someone tells me that they are religious, I assume they are either an atheist or an agnostic.
