Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.

Severe understatement. Fortunately, he doesn't show up here very often, and he's whacked quickly.

Wow, you just won $1,000,000! Actually, I live on a small sailboat and am usually pretty far off the grid. We are at a marina at the moment doing boat projects but, at this marina anyway, the internet connection is abysmal unless I take a walk into town. Something I generally only do lugging an iPad when there is a MotoGP race to catch. Video is a hit-and-mostly miss thing with me.

I can read about it, but not watch it. Which is a small price to pay to put a little water between me and you crazy dirt dwellers.

Translation: "I'd watch that video, but my life's awesome."
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Mine? It is, actually. But it isn't what most people think. Some days are a lot less awesome than others.

Haha yeah I hear ya, man. I was being silly. I didn't mean to say you came off braggadocious. I just thought that was probably the best reason to ever not be able to get online. Living on a sailboat sounds kick-ass from here in ranch house in Ohio.

You necroed just to say that?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
