   Let's argue about something.

   Off the top of my head: anybody have any opinions on the MLK prayer service?

   I've been reading in the blogosphere about a certain nameless author being called sexist and creepy, and various counterarguments. http://tigerbeatdown.com/2011/08/26/enter-ye-myne-mystic-world-of-gayng-raype-what-the-r-stands-for-in-george-r-r-martin/

   Eudaimonist is back, so we could always (re)launch that discussion of empiricism.

   Where's Nox when I need him!?!?!

   Here's something that's been floating around in my head...
   It was spurred by the nutjob that showed up a few days ago, but got me thinging, so i went around and looked at just how many people claim to hear god or the debil telling them to do horrible things.

   Would more people actually go and get psychiatric help without God (and/or Satan) to blame things on?

   I'm not married yet. All we have is the marriage license. We have sixty days (well, 57 now) to actually get hitched. Tentatively aiming for September 22.

   After twenty years of illicitly shacking up, the prospect of marriage holds no terror for me.

   And it could be that sans God/Satan, a lot of those problems would clear up on their own.

   Your numerological skills need sharpening. It's the shared birthday of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins.

    @TrickQuestion:

    That's retrofitting. And also incorrect, since the tower of Orthanc was not destroyed.

    So you're saying that hobbits were NOT responsible for the terr'tacks?

    I didn't say that. Everyone knows that hobbits are furry-footed little ninjas who will cheerfully kill you and everyone you love if given the opportunity. But do let's try to stay historically accurate.

    Come to think of it, that thing on the wing of Shatner's plane might have been a hobbit...
    Which could have explained why they crashed on the 9-11.

    Conspiracy theories are hilarious.

    The incident with Shatner was just a training run. Hobbits take the long view.

    "Breakfasts" is a mistranslation from the original Elvish. Most scholars agree that it's actually "pedicures".

    for the sake of argument... I hated reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I vowed that I would do it, and I did, but it took me all summer and I have never gotten so much sleep in my life since I fell asleep every page.

    @Gringa:

    Tolkien is not to everyone's taste. He uses a very distant, epic literary style that has been out of vogue since the early 20th century.

    @Eudaimonist:

    Are you a hobbit sympathizer?

    Well, gosh, how else am I supposed to carry out Teh Gay Agenda? Destroying the very fabric of society isn't as easy as it looks, no matter what Michelle Bachmann says.
