Is wandering off into territory I’ve flogged about before.

While I’m not in the habit of having conversations with fictional characters, I have to address this one squarely at Jan: If you are pregnant, what is inside you is a human child. Not a waste product. Before you whine about choice, consider that you already MADE the choice, when you engaged in sex. The moment to choose not to have a child is the moment before conception. There are a few infallible methods of contraception, and many nearly infallible ones. (before anyone cracks wise in comments, abstinence, oral sex, and anal sex are infallible methods of contraception, to name but a few)

There’s a restaurant in Chicago called Charlie Trotter’s. Charlie has travelled the world and worked with the world’s finest chefs, including, for instance, Gordon Sinclair. Eating at Trotter’s is like having sex with a 23 year old Audrey Hepburn. let’s say you go there and eat, but for some reason, decide that you don’t want to pay for the meal (the meal is expensive, no doubt about that!) Is it OK to just go into the bathroom and take a shit? “Well, the food is still here. Why should I pay for it?” As any fine restaurantier will tell you, pay up. As any nun will tell you, the cost of that couple minutes ecstacy is a lifetime of service. And joy. Pay up, Jan.

Wandering around McCormick place today, hours and hours of standing on concrete has left my feet feeling like they’d rather be attached to someone smaller. Don’t blame them.

other news, Foie Gras is now illegal in Chicago. I will be picking some up from my favorite Indiana restaurant and bringing it with me.

Tards.

Maybe people are having trouble with this, but here’s a pretty simple guide that should keep you out of too much trouble:

Do what Jesus suggested you do. Avoid the things he said to avoid.

I know, I know, it’s simplistic, but it will pretty much do. See, here’s the thing: Anything anyone else tells you you shoul;d be doing to be a Christian? they are fucked. As I tried to explain to dinglefuck a few posts down, the “church’s magisterium” is a bunch of rules written by a bunch of guys who point to a couple of segments of scripture, and quote them as a reason they should be telling you what to do. The more humans get involved, the more fucked the whole deal is. Read the bible. New testament, particularly, paying close attention to the four gospels.

Is the bible the absolute word of God? Well, hell, I have no idea. Here’s what I do know: If you pay attention to what Christ says, and pattern your behavior after his, you will probably do no harm.

Anything written by man claiming to be divinely inspired is suspect.
