mostly linkage
May. 27th, 2005 10:08 pmToday is mostly about links.
First, the newsy links:
Texas lege enshrines anti-gay provision in state constitution, which mostly concentrates on a speech introduced with "when Senfronia Thompson, a black representative from Houston, stalks to the back mike with a certain "get-out-of-my-way" look in her eye, it's, Katie, bar the door." My favourite part? Christianity to me is love and hope and faith and forgiveness -- not hate and discrimination. (However, try to bear in mind that I'm not actually Christian, so hey, what do I know).
On the same topic: Calif. Groups Take Aim at Gay-Marriage Ban. Interesting factoid: the Calif. Groups include National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, the California Teachers Association, and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

Then, the bizarre links:
From![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
a_dawn: Going Jesus: Cavalcade of Bad Nativities.
Witness the wonder and splendour of The Marshmallow Baby Jesus; Virgin PoshMary; Christmas In the Village of the Damned; the Hobbit Holy Family; there's NO Jesus like SNOW Jesus; the Phallic Nativity; and more! Much more!!
It's enough to make the Baby Jesus cry. Sure made me want to cry.
BTW, does anybody have the link to that creepy page where you could make the baby Jesus cry? I tried to describe it to Chris, but I don't think he got it.
And fromjessebee, I really liked this one and will be showing it to the children post-haste:
Grocery Store Wars, starring Cuke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Canolli, Princess Lettuce, Ham Solo, and more. Go see.

Today's bit of wisdom, and listen up folks, because I'll only be saying this once and it bears paying attention to.
If you are near a candy store that stocks up "Bernie Botts Every Flavour Jellybeans" (and yes, they do exist in the real world) please heed the warning that says that they are really every flavour. The buttered popcorn, lemon drop and coffee taste like buttered popcorn, lemon drop and coffee. The dirt and soap taste like dirt and soap.
And, (and this part is really, really important), the spaghetti really tastes like spaghetti, the vomit really tastes like vomit, and the two look VERY VERY SIMILAR.

Today's fanfic quotes:
Sometimes Remus thought that one of the great virtues of growing older was that every day of one's life carried one farther away from being sixteen years old.
and
"Did that make sense before it got to your mouth?"
