Etymology
So, I’ve been listening to here at work today and I’ve also been pondering just what exactly a gentleman auction house is.
Is it an auction house run by a gentleman or is it an auction house where they auction off a gentleman? Such mysteries.
Just a Question
Why did no one stop me from eating 3/4ths of a jar of the exceptionally delicious black bean dip that I love? Why did no one stop me? Have you any idea what havoc this will wreak?
Sigh. You 6 are so unreliable.

Eric: To help save the dead baby jesus, please make a donation to me and I will pray for the dead baby jesus. One minute for each dollar. Think of it as giving blood, without the needles. Or as gambling, except with a better payout - Eternal Salvation.

Snakes As Weapons
This will eternally be one of my favorite stories. Thanks, Matt Bergeson.
(This was a conversation I overheard. An older African-American gentlemen
