I remember those. I had no idea they made them for C64, though.

Using His name in vain is also very popular (vain is connected with vanity- useless).

Why not blame the devil?

Ah yes the scape goat of the idiots.
If it's a good thing then obvs god did it if its a bad thing obvs it was his evil twin, looks just the same but has a moustache.

He's behind you right now!!!

Quote:Seriously, if that thing is an idol (and it sure walks/ quacks and looks like one) -
it would be a real good thing for God to step in and whack it.
But He lets us collect all the idols we want- look around- the world is full of them,
so I doubt it is God behind your technical flukes.

I also think that god was behind the techincal stuff, but I suspect for a very different reason.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

God created the devil. Skip the middle-man and get the supervisor on the phone.

OK I know you are being sarcastic. Even females can tell you know.

Oh but that's where you're wrong. It's NEVER that easy with him. Trust me.

Yeah, because I was being so subtle here Tongue

I just realized the title of this thread ends with "when it would help him." How would god allowing you to watch Torchwood help him?

You've got me beat there, old timer.

Punch cards? We would have killed for punch cards.

I dunno. How does getting down on our knees and mumbling nursery rhymes help him?
