Just how and why are the fake religos allowed to dance around the stones anyway?
Everyone knows they're not real Celtic pagans.
If the stones even were anything to do with the Celtic region (probably not, they predate the celts arriving)

Because, I suppose, the threshold for whether you should accommodate a religious practice has little to do with whether it's "real"?

But where is the threshold between a religion and a group of idiots who just want to play around ?

I'm still a fat shamer  

Hey, I am too, as a matter of public health policy.

If i leave plugged-in cord ends like a cell phone charger at rest on my carpet indefinitely, is that a fire hazard?

Maybe if it's under water.

An interesting article from LA times:

There are really very few things that infuriate me more than the idiocy of the anti-vaccination crowd. Not only they expose their own children to risk (in which case this would simply be a generational Darwin award issue), they also endanger the society as a whole and those people who, for actual health reasons, cannot be vaccinated.

Doubtful, but they do say it is consuming a small amount of electricity.

I'm hoping that Chik Fil-A's crazy Christian shit dies with him.

The Progressive chick is declining fast. Have you seen the newest web ads? She's melting.

I remember her as the files and records automaton.

Dan Cathy is still alive and well.  So I hope it goes on, with the exception of them being closed on Sunday.

That's the main thing I want them to do away with.

Not at all.

Some of your concepts of "normal" weight expressed in the past are unhealthy.

Mrs B messages me to say her parents won the lottery.  There was a big $50 mil jackpot up for grabs.

They got 6 out of 7 numbers correct.

Their winnings?

$7000.

[CountDeMoney]

$7000 more than they had yesterday.  They should consider themselves blessed.

Of course, Ed would've scored all 7.
