She may have been to my parents' house. There's an attack squirrel that lives in their oak tree and throws acorns at the dogs so that phrase gets uttered often.

Spending a lot of time at the bar is the key. It also depends on what kind of cruise you're on. If you're on a family cruise the odds are way down.

But the people who proposition you aren't always going to be the people you'd want to have a threesome with.

I read all three a few years ago. They're interesting, but dense like most of the stuff of that time.

They are literally heretical though, except in the Ethiopian tradition, because they teach things that aren't in line with canonical teachings. It's like the infancy gospel of Thomas (also kind of a fun read to hear about Jesus being a little shit).

He ain't got the confidence to rock it like a real man.

Can I make fun of him for how poorly he's wearing it? Honestly, he ain't wearing it. It's wearing him.

You must be an awful parent if you're keeping yourself informed because you wouldn't have the energy if you were a good parent. Do we really want bad parents voting? These people can't even prioritize their households, much less their nation!!!

If you couldn't tell, both the comment you replied to and this one is over the top garbage. Of course I don't think parents shouldn't vote. That's fucking stupid. Things are happening that affect them and their family. But to say that they should get extra votes because they have kids is also fucking stupid. Things are happening that affect me and my family just the same.

Just because I'm adopted and my nieces and nephews don't share my DNA doesn't mean I don't want a better world for them. Just because some meth heads shat me out doesn't mean they should get to vote more.

I have a problem with your opinion because there's some high profile eyeliner with something vaguely resembling a human behind it advocating for it.

We all know the next step is to take away the votes of anyone they don't like. "We showed parents have skin in the game. But not adoptive parents because that's not their natural born child." "Since the gays can't have children they don't get a vote." "Hispanic people are just having more children so they get more votes, we need to level the playing field."

Just because I didn't shoot children out of my dick or however they're born doesn't mean I have less skin in the game. To say otherwise is self serving garbage. I have nephews and nieces that I'm very involved with.

You want an extra vote? Go to the school board. Your vote there counts for thousands because there's no one going. That's how these far right folks with a censorship agenda get their shit done.

Full disclosure: I did something different. Instead of onions and cilantro with an avocado salsa I made pico, added avocado chunks, and plopped that on top of my crisped up pulled pork with extra spices.

But the German with beer didn't drop by so I guess it doesn't matter. I'm very sad now.

Parents are fucking tired from dealing with their kids so they should get no vote because good parents don't have the energy to inform themselves.

It's not undemocratic for people to be uneven. There's already precedent for taking away votes from certain groups.

I don't think we should do it, but it's not a bad idea.

I'm familiar with Harley Benton! A buddy of mine got one of their teles for a little of nothing. Fit and finish of his is on par with the higher end Squires or the Indonesian G&Ls, neither of which are too bad and the Benton was a third of the price. The pickups are subjective, but I like them better than the classic vibe ones. Switch is chunkier, too.

I ain't mad at HB.

What the hell is the deal with the Book of Enoch? I get the alien thing because AM radio and the history channel went all in with that. But a noncanonical (except in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church I guess), apocalyptic, heretical book? Why?!?

I keep seeing even crazier offshoots of already crazy evangelicals referring to it (without mentioning whether they're talking about 1, 2, or 3) and the Testament of Solomon.

Full disclosure, I'm not religious but I grew up in a bugnuts evangelical tradition and remember a bunch of it.

Fun fact: canonical scripture says that people do not become angels. The Book of Enoch said Enoch became a celestial being similar to an archangel.

More fun fact, even less related SPOILERS AHEAD: In Charles Stross's Laundry Files book series, the Apocalypse of Enoch is included in the bible of a cult that thinks they're worshipping Jesus but is accidentally trying to summon an otherworldly horror into the universe.
