That's awesome.

"Somewhere in the control room of my mind a fat little dwarf in a security outfit was paging through a Penthouse while smoking a cigar with his feet up on the table, watching the security monitors of my brain with his peripheral vision."

I love the fact that not only is it just a security guard, it's a DWARF security guard. He must've eaten some pizza or something before bed.

Reminds you of Dave Barry, doesn't it? Some of the posters noticed that too.

I'm still subconsciously sulking that Dave retired from his column in the first place. No columns mean no column compilation books.

I used to be registered, but as of a couple of years back (or whenever it was -- some time after I posted a link to that thread about "The Lord of the Rings, as written by well-known authors who are not named J.R.R. Tolkien"), I would have needed to pay actual cash to continue posting there. I decided against it.

Skimmed it. I'll have to go back and look at it some more later, when there's not quite so much uproar going on just over my shoulder, but it looks amusing.

Ah yes. It's surprising, if you don't know about it already, that Protestant fundamentalists are just as worried about Catholics' souls as they are about non-Christians'. But it's true, and they even send missionaries to heavily Catholic areas. (It doesn't go both ways -- Catholics don't agree with fundamentalists, but we don't consider them or anyone else auto-damned.) This is one reason the ecumenical movement rarely gets anywhere. One man's trifling difference is another man's irreconcilable one.

Back to links. I recently found out that YouTube has been an enormous boon to amateur comedy troupes. Here are two whose skits are absolutely hilarious: Barats & Bereta (picture Rob and Elliot in live-action) and Derrick Comedy (fans of 24, you must watch the "Tom Rogers" videos).

Perhaps not auto-damned, but last time I went to mass with my fiancee, I certainly wasn't allowed to partake in communion. Nor any other time for that matter.

(ahem)
