When you say it tastes good, do you mean good like candy or good like something you find in the fridge behind the open spam that is green but you eat anyway.

In Response to Yoshi (#7183):

Like zucchini. Zucchini is green.

In Response to Yoshi (#7183):

I think it's like something you find in the fridge behind the open spam that is green but you eat anyway and it tastes like candy.

And then six hours later, you find yourself hallucinating wildly, laughing your ass off while they strap you down in the ER, pumping your stomach and feeding you enough antibiotics to kill off every living biota in the Mediterranean.

That kind of "tastes good"

Note to Phillip and John: If your marriages should both ever flounder and you guys find yourself back on the meat-market, you may want to consider releasing the grid.

Apparently, based on the number of attractive women I've met that run slash-fansites, the age-old question of "if straight-guys like lesbian porn, why don't straight-girls like gay porn?" finally has an answer: They do... but only when it involves writing or drawing.

Note to McGrue: The whole bit about the grid was a not-so-subtle reference to Ghostbusters, intended as a trap for the unwary.

Jon is lying in wait for someone to bring it up, so he can say 'Now, picture a twinkie 20 ft long, and ...'.

Confidential to Zamphir: Are you a god?

In Response to mcgrue (#7386):

Zamphir, when someone asks you if you are a god, you say "yes".

In Response to Dynedain (#7390):

I was trying to say "yes".

But the posting was broken - every time I tried to preview my response, it claimed I was trying to post twice.

I notified Phillip, and it seems to be working now.

In Response to mcgrue (#7386):

With more posts than Jon and Phillip combined, the answer is obviously Yes.

Even if it weren't the right answer to give anyway.

In Response to Dynedain (#7390):

...unless you're afraid that timid Jehovah might've been drinking that night and reliving his 'glory days' by smiting you for breaking the topmost commandment.

In that case, it's usually safest to claim not to be a god, regardless of the truth.

In Response to mcgrue (#7414):

I read this post and thought that you Jehovah's witnesses that frequent this site should know the fact that God's name is in fact not Jehovah.

God's name is actually YHWH with no vowels because when it was written down at a time when the Hebrew language had no vowels.

However, later, when adding vowels to the bible, the Hebrews put in the vowels for the Hebrew word Adonai because that was a common name for God since only the High Priest in the Jewish faith is allowed to say the true name of God.

So, we have YHWH + Adonai. We then get, YAHOWAH. In order to account for the different pronunciations in the two languages the latin scholars changed the Y to J, the A to E, and the W to a V.

Sorry if this was long and boring but just remember it the next time a Jehovah's witness knocks on the door Christmas Morning.

In Response to Yoshi (#7779):

Actually, you've got that almost but not quite right.

It's not YHWH+Adidas, it's YHWH+Puma.

Remember that the next time you go out to buy some beer.

In Response to Yoshi (#7779):

'YHWH' is also known as the Tetragrammaton.

The four letters themselves, not god. Although I guess he could go by 'Tetragrammaton', seeing as he's all omnipotent and stuff.

Hrm, another thought... God's a four-letter word. Just liœô,Âriend.
