My favorite reindeer are: Prancer, Schmancer, Pooper, and Slurper.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Do you know which of Santa's reindeer the dinosaurs were afraid of?
Comet.
Now, who's going to be the person who spoils a party joke?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Using the term "surconscience" in my writing because I want to.

Apparently, there's some evidence that taking magnesium helps protect against dementia. I started taking it when I was donating plasma to deal with muscle cramps and just never stopped.

The art of creating (writing) doesn't always come easy, but it feels great when I get it just right.

My physical labors punish me to the point of mental tears that comes out as a verbal flood.

Watching the Vikings game. They're playing "Golden," the theme from K-Pop Demon Hunters, over the PA.
