Aw, poor Catholic church. Doesn't have enough priests. Boo-hoo. And thank luck that the priest at my church wasn't into that kind of shit (and if he was, thank luck he didn't like me)!

Jeff: If you define "lucky" as having one of the 99% of priests that don't molest little boys rather than the 1% that do, I suggest you steer clear of Vegas.

I always call it lucky to avoid bad people, The_Tom, even when they occupy small percentages of the population. I'm not one of those "it always happens to other people" people.

Well, in that case you should feel lucky you woke up this morning and weren't knifed on the way out the door.

Surely the scariest topic heading ever, especially with the 3 question marks.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

The_Tom, I feel lucky everyday that I get home in one-piece and haven't been the victim of a senseless crime or something. Don't you? I mean, I get home safe and sound and think "Gosh, I hope everyday goes this well."
But, since I don't believe in God, I thank luck instead. I suppose I could thank you, but what for?

He could be hoping that you do make it home everyday in one piece....
That seems worth a thanks....
but somehow I doubt it....

One must, of course, remember that the majority of us do NOT live in Baltimore, one of the highest crime districts in the known universe.

Gee wiz Jeff, those sure are some moving words. Right now I'm thinking about how lucky I am that my fingers haven't broken while typing this message, and about how lucky I am that you seem to have turned into one of the Waltons.

Omega, you live in Tennessee, which must have the world's record number of inbred rednecks in the southeast United States. If I lived there, I'd wake up every day thanking whoever that I wasn't your cousins and that mom & dad donn't call each other "brother" and "sister".
And I don't actually live IN Baltimore. I live north of Baltimore, in a very safe community. And Baltimore's crime-rates have been decreasing, thanks to an effective liberal mayor who replaced a not-so effective liberal mayor. I'd also wonder about anyone who isn't thankful that they got through the day okay -- I mean, do you think to yourself "dammit, I really wanted to get into a fender-bender today, or get shot in the head. Gosh blast it all to frell."
I'm not saying I give it any more then a passing thought (if that), but I'm certainly happy to get home in the same condition that I left (maybe less fresh, but, hey).

Good [G][g]od Jeff, is there any stopping you? What's next, a post about the supremacy of Bill Clinton's wang over Bush's in a discussion of Type VIII phasers and the Sequoia-class development project?

for the record, Bill has a bigger wang than Bush. I heard it on CNN this morning, inbetween those wonderful stories on the Nevada shootings.
