"Couldn't Ask for a Better Day..."

Natter:

Item one: I was looking through old photo albums to-day, and observed that my hair used to be so damn long and luxurious. >_> Actually, it was so heavy that the hair on my head was always really straight and flat, and the hair coming down was always incredible curly and thick, so I basically looked like I had the world's worst clip-on extensions. Anyway, now it's short and easy to take care of and curly everywhere, but damn it did look nice. I also note that I used to look an awful lot like a German butterball potato with a head on it, which is not to say that I'm not still fat, but at least I am no longer spherical.

Item two: There is a roving coffee van in Newport called He-Brews which serves hot coffee and foods to vagrants in the name of Christ. We started discussing other religiously-themed food organisations, and Maria came up with Beelzepub, which I think may be the most amazing thing ever. Also, since Beelzebub is the patron demon of gluttony, it double-works.

Item three: Three very foolish youths in the Shermans Dale area attempted to rob a liquor store that has already been robbed twice--the first time, the owner shot and killed the thief. You would think that anyone with a basic sense of self-preservation or the brains to conceive of committing a robbery in the first place would think that it was a bad idea to rob a place made famous a mere five months earlier for zealous protection (the owner did, admittedly, kill the first thief in self-defence, as the dude was attempting to hit him with a hammer--also unbelievably stupid, since the sentence for robbing a liquor store is around two years, unlike, say, a murder sentence).

Item four: It's the ninetieth anniversary of women getting the right to vote! You should celebrate by burning Sarah Palin in effigy.

Can't we burn her in effigy every day?

Man, it's almost worth adding to a story or something.

Why does the concept of biblically named stores amuse me? No, I did not limit it to food stores either.

Candy store name:
Sugar Cain
Restaurant:
Chilion (or Chili-on)
Accessory store:
Boaz
Mattress Store:
Obed

oh god, this makes me realise that you are the perfect subject for the joke my one religion professor told us a few years ago: he said that when he was a boy, his neighbour had a parrot that was named Onan--because it was always spilling its seed on the floor (of its cage).

Any excuse to burn her in effigy is a good one. ^^

Setting back women's rights definitely counts.
