Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – thanks, Jerry – how a TrueChristian demonstrates the contradictions between Christians and Christianity

Recently, we've found that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, especially when it comes to being an idiot.  Jerry Falwell, Jr., son of failed prophet Jerry Falwell, and head of Liberty University, has said the following: "“It just blows my mind when I see that the president of the United States [says] that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – thanks, Jerry – how a TrueChristian demonstrates the contradictions between Christians and Christianity

From the Kitchen and the Bar – new things to try and a jalapeno appetizer

The Thanksgiving long weekend was a nice quiet one for us. We didn’t do the bird but we did eat a lot of appetizers as our feast. Most of them were from the freezer section of the supermarket, but we did make one from scratch.   Fresh jalapenos filled with garden vegetable cream cheese, wrapped in … Continue reading From the Kitchen and the Bar – new things to try and a jalapeno appetizer

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – keeping the door open

It’s a shame what a lot of Americans are advocating now, that we ignore the desperate and do exactly what the Muslim fundamentalists want us to do, be fearful, selfish twits. It is no surprise that it is the Republicans and Tea Party (haven’t heard that term in a while, eh?) who are cowards and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – keeping the door open

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ’tis the season

The “war on Christmas” has arisen once again. One would think that the TrueChristians™ here in the States would just stop, because every year, there is nothing accomplished but making themselves look like complete idiots. Schadenfreude is always great when someone causes their own problems. Take the Starbucks nonsense for instance… Happily many Christians have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ’tis the season

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: signs from gods, prayer and decoupage

Theists often claim that they see a “sign” from their god. These claims usually revolve around pareidolia, but occasionally there is a claim of a relic or divinely-touched item. One of these claims is about bible pages on a piece of wreckage from the WTC terrorist disaster (unsurprisingly, the provenance of the item is very … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: signs from gods, prayer and decoupage

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: hmmm, who is lying here?

well, now we have the TrueChristian(tm) Kim Davis and the TrueChristian(tm) Pope Francis and their stories don't quite match. Now, who is to be believed? Update:  How interesting, the pope met with a gay couple before he met Davis. Hmmm. and more curious, some possible machinations and conspiracies with an arch bishop in the crosshairs.

From the Bar and a little from the kitchen – more beer, wine and cider, plus a redux of food we’ve made before

Wow, the Exodus movie really sucks.   Not just from the silly plot but from the cinematography to the costuming, etc. Happily, I only saw a bit of it on HBO for free. It’s of that “everyone is filthy for no reason at all” genre. We’ve tried some new beers, ciders and wines. In amongst this, … Continue reading From the Bar and a little from the kitchen – more beer, wine and cider, plus a redux of food we’ve made before

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – one has an excuse, it’s imaginary

The pope claims that his god “weeps” because his priests abuse children. Funny how he does a lot more than “weep” against those who piss him off in the bible: Sodom and Gomorrah Lot’s wife First Born of Egypt Sons of Aaron Israelites who complained More Israelites who complained that Israelites were murdered More Israelites … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – one has an excuse, it’s imaginary

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: a view from behind the phones, thoughts of a CSR.

I’ve spent a few years working customer service now, in person and on the phone.  Customer service work is a great way to be an even greater misanthrope than one might ever be.  This is because you always get the problem children. Now, for these problem children, I have some advice, and yes it’s presented … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: a view from behind the phones, thoughts of a CSR.
