Where would an American Vatican be located, you think? Molly Ivins always referred to Waco as “Vatican City for Baptists.”

No, *you* just sang “‘Cause I’m a butt-getter, yes I am” to the tune of “Punkrocker” by Teddybears feat. Iggy Pop to your cat while scritching his butt.

As I understand it, in the US “Anglican” means “We like choral music but hate gay people.”

That’s fair.

I stand with TEC and the mainstream Anglican Communion on this one.

(This is why I go to an Episcopal church now.)

Big deal. The C/church of Christ will schism over such trivial stuff as capitalization.

"New Far Side comics" was definitely not on my bingo card for this week. They're not bad!

And let’s be honest - if Discourse (TM) had been a thing when AotC came out, there would have been volumes generated about how Christopher Lee was the only adversary worthy of Yoda and Yoda alone.

Look, I’m just saying when a terrorist calls your office to ask about a missed payment from the Martyrdom Fund, you’re supposed to throw your weight around at the office.

It was like Gene Parmesan showed up in a roomful of Lucille Bluths.

Sometimes I think about how the SW prequels are considered Not Good, and yet I distinctly remember the moment in AotC when Yoda went into the fight pose and *everyone in the theatre absolutely lost their expletive-deleted minds*. Missed a solid 30-45 seconds because of all the cheering and whooping.

I simply don’t care and write it TC M9 higher. The whole point to me of transposition is so the player thinks the same way regardless of which type of instrument they’re on. “Oh, it’s the pitch D5? Then I use these fingers.”

And are you married?

I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

In July, Tesla rolled out a software update to integrate Grok into many of its vehicles. Do you use it?

Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist. When I'm driving, I'll ask questions, and it actually gives really good therapy advice.
