Where did you get these four perfectly round circles?
 
I can prove to myself that they ARE four circles by forcing my eyes to follow them around each circumference, but I can't make myself SEE them that way.

Three Clergymen & A Bear
 
 
A priest, a Pentecostal preacher and a Rabbi were chaplains to the students of a Northern
Michigan University and got together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop.
 
One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard.
A real challenge would be to preach to a bear.
 
One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment they would all go out into
the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.
 
Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience.
 
Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages, goes first.
" Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read
to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me
around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he
became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."
 
Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts.
In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed, "WELL brothers, you KNOW that we don't
sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's
HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we
began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came
to a creek. So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said,
he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the time praising Jesus."
 
They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body
cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out of him. He was in bad shape.
 
The rabbi looks up and says,
"Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

This is a little like complaining that Stuart Little doesn't read like Maus.
Redwall is for kids, so what, deal with that fact and if you want something more challenging go find it with my best wishes for your happiness. I am an adult who generally enjoys thoughtful and sometimes thrilling material, but other times I like to power down with something like Redwall or Bone.
It doesn't make any choice wrong, just find something that's a better fit for you.

My second post was supposed to be a continuation of the first, so let me finish that off with...You start seeingHot Chocolate, cookies and Reindeer Chow at the Continental Breakfast Bar.
Seeker's resolution is to stop getting knocked out during combat in front of photographers who keep putting the picture on supplement books so that players will have to find another way to tell the good ones from the bad.

Last night:
 
Me: "Okay, the kids are finally sleeping."
 
Her: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, they still need to finish their homework."
 
Me: "What the hell?!  You were home with them all day long.  You didn't bathe them, or feed them, or do their homework, or get rid of all this crap that's been on the dining table for three months.  I put in nine hours on a doomed project, then raced home to feed and bathe the kids for you, and now I have to do a sink full of dishes and take out all the trash, and now I have to wake the kids up early tomorrow morning and force them to do their homework when it's already a struggle to get them to school on time every morning?!  F___ ___."  "Fantastic."

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life.
 
also at Folsom Street Faire, gathered with the perveratti at Wicked Grounds (SF's new Cafe/Kinky boutique)...
 
An hour or so earlier, a drunk hippie was running around non-consensually smacking people with a heavy leather belt. K. & myself both shrugged it off as a dumb & stupid, but J. took offense, caught the belt and snarled at him "Not without permission". He started to escalate, so to head things off at the pass, I intervened, which included grabbing his windpipe ever so gently but with the promise of bad things to come if he didn't chill.
 
While recounting the encounter, I commented...
"When are normal people gonna figure out not to mess with the people who study how to hurt other people as a hobby?"

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life.
 
When my ex-wife was leaving me (for the last time) she threatened me by saying "I know people who could have you killed."
 
My response was "You do and I'll haunt you for the rest of your life."
 
I knew she believed in ghosts, and the look on her face was priceless.

Did you know...Funky Flashman was created by Jack Kirby and was supposed to be a parody of Stan "The Man" Lee at his most verbose pitchman moments.

Of course he was no match against Funky Flashman!

I've never built Captain Comet.  I'll look up the character and have something up next week.
