Uh...you forgot the frequent visits to the bar and then to the Gay bath house.
Loran---
Let me remind you again that it is *you* who is constantly howling about a lack of "intellectual seriousness."
I would be interested in seeing your "serious minded" evidence that makes this stuff go away. I will wait patiently for you to enlighten me.
No you wouldn't...
I really, truly, honestly would. I assure you, Loran, that I wholeheartedly want to see the "serious minded" evidence that you've got. I really do.
That's not true. As they are men of God, I expect that they live up to the highest standards imaginable.
Another little white one. As you don't believe they are men of God, it follows that there are no standards to which they could be held based upon that criteria.
I ask that they be held to their own standards.
One day a light's going to come on and there aren't going to be any baseboards to run to. What then Scratch?
What then.Basically, the only response you have is to condemn me to Perdition? Ah, I see. Bravo, Loran!
No, no. I didn't condemn you to Perdition, only to the baseboards where other household pests lie in wait. Perdition only becomes a live issue at the end, and we, still here in Midgard, are not as yet at the end.
Just the baseboards will do for the time being.
Okey doke, Gomer. Hey, by the way---I asked you a while ago if you would be willing to use a certain avatar. What say ye, Loran?
