Skepticism

Comment o’ the Week!

Tons of great COTW nominations this week, but I have chosen one to rise above them all, like the ring in Lord of the Rings. Or something. Please note that Skepchick does not actually condone violence against the clergy:

I once belonged to a Christian paintball team.

It was a means to an end…playing paintball and shooting priests.

And by the way: Congratulations! Having never participated in the act of producing offspring myself, the best advice I can give is:

Never let your child forget where they came from. Namely, naked, bloody and screaming from your vag.

@DominEditrix: Cats stealing your breath? That’s madness.

It’s a hideous little monster that lives in your house’s walls that does that. The cat is trying to protect you. Being woken up with your cat standing over you is a good thing; it has just scared away the little monster.

I suggest you set out a floor fan with metal blades the monster can be thrown into.

My bottle of astroglide glide has the warning”For external use only”, however, if used properly will end up internal. Maybe they mean “do not eat/drink”.

Happy Friday, everyone!

  1. I missed the LtStorm comment the first time around. It’s been ages since I’ve seen that movie. I wonder if NetFlix has it…

  2. I’m pretty certain I have heard the Mahlersoboe quote before elsewhere, I can’t recall where, and not it wasn’t in the thread where that comment originated, I haven’t been on the site all week.

    @Steve: , @Skept-artist: That movie was entertaining as hell. I should consider getting a netfix account and supporting scam school in the process, or something.
