Hey, so [name] is dating this Middle Eastern guy. Is there anyway you can run a police check on him? . . . Oh, really? You can't? That's a shame. . . . I don't know, we're all really worried. . . . Because, like, you know, he's some random Middle Eastern guy. . . . and she has money . . . Well, he's Egyptian. No, wait, that's not right, he's not Egyptian, he's Muslim. Yeah, he's Muslim.2. My friend E. gets an email from online dating:
hello How are you??? YOu know what? Most people like to watch the Olympics, because they only happen once every 4 years, but I'd rather talk to you cause the chance of meeting someone so special only happens once in a lifetime. :)3. WHAT. Courtesy of these people.
4. I give up on humanity.
Urgggghhhhh, the entire world. That gruesome anti-Semitic screed! :(
ReplyDeleteA journalist friend wrote a story about creationist museums a few years ago for her newspaper. There are like six of them in the area where we are from! Including several that feature dioramas of humans and dinosaurs co-existing, with interpretive plaques that quote Genesis! One of them is very close to a dinosaur museum, and puts on a passion play every Easter in the shadow of a giant concrete Tyrannosaurus Rex! No life-sized ark anywhere, though.
Apparently at one of the creationist museums, there is a diorama of child feeding a squirrel while some raptors frolic in the background. I CANNOT TELL YOU how badly I want to go to this thing.
ReplyDeleteI bet baby Jesus fed T-Rexes from his hands. (Is that how we pluralize those suckers?)
If I were a raptor I would not frolic in the background while children fed squirrels! I would EAT THE CHILDREN AND THE SQUIRRELS.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that these places have, like, touristy postcards with images of the dioramas on them? Because those would be the greatest fucking postcards.
This is what I am hoping. Because I am going to go, and BUY THEM ALL.
ReplyDeleteOh man! Then you could write UNGODLY MESSAGES on them. This is an amazing plan.
ReplyDelete1. AHAHAHAHa. ah. *cough* UGH. What's pathetic is that it isn't even true, she's just saying it because she thinks it's likely increase the chances of her request being fulfilled.
ReplyDelete2. Um. Sweet and cheesy at the same time? Obviously trying to turn their dislike of watching the Olympics into a strong point... or did I miss something there?
3. Meh. You know, I wouldn't object to the theme-park as such. My beliefs not conforming to any standardized religion, I prefer not to make fun of anyone else's choice of faith either, but... x_x; when it's being defended by a bunch of militant 'christian' bigots...
