groups like REM might be desperate enough to hit the fair circuit.
If they're playing stuff from their last few albums, who cares?!

I saw Buster Poindexter at a local Festival of Ballooning many years ago. It was rather sad.

A good fair group is usually one which loves performing so much that they're fun to watch even if they've lost it. You don't go to the fair to hear good music. You go to hang out and eat corndogs and talk during the songs.

I've never been to any of them, though.
I love corndogs. well, the vegetarian kind. yum.

18 was the legal drinking age when we had our sr. prom and I was 18...so...I didn't need any fancy gimmicks to lure me in. Shoot...I was already there.
It's seems strange now, but we raised the legal drinking age and now it would seem that kids who are under 20 are for the most part, extremely immature in my estimation. They have difficulty making any kind of decision and certainly wouldn't know how to live on their own. Consider that a very general statement just based on the kids I know today.
It just seems weird to me. I mean 18 used to be moving-out-the-house age.

Is the tavern closed for Passover Easter Spring Break? Dood.
So my new office used to be the schoold nurse's office. There's still one of those big scales that you step onto with the weights at the top and a slide-up ruler to measure your height, and an examining table, complete with stirrups (and not the horse-riding kind). But I do have a sink about 3 feet from my desk so that's cool.

Y'all should watch all of that little documentary. It's pretty interesting. Scary. Sad.
Aside from the picketing stuff, they're pretty normal, and very, very reminiscent of your average American Christian.
And this is pretty cool:
He proudly served his country in the United States Navy during World War II, where he earned the nickname “Starshell Mitchell” while serving as an officer on the U.S.S. Idaho. This came to be during the Battle of Iwo Jima when he came up with the idea to keep the night sky alight by calculating the trajectory of “starshells” so that they burst and continuously illuminated the night sky as they floated over the battlefield. He stayed up all night calculating each shell during widely changing wind conditions. The light turned the tide of the battle from one in which the Japanese had a distinct advantage, thus ensuring the victory for the Marines on the ground.

Yeah - apparently that guy has a show where he lives with fringe people for a bit.
It's been on my mind, for sure.
Apparently, they get all that money from lawsuits. Shirley is a litigation lawyer, and they sue people who violate their rights by interfering with their pickets.
How messed up is that?????????
They make no sense. Except when they're making sense. And either way, it's scary.

I read the Bible a lot as a kid. In church, during the sermon, I'd read the Bible. Song of Solomon, even before I knew what it was, was always my favourite, for all the poetry.
What's your favourite book of the Bible (and why)?

Anything written by John. He's one of the few writers where I can feel his distinct style.

Man, y'all are some Bible haters, no?!??
Well, I'll be funny, then.
How long do you think a thread about this would go on for?

I think he's been described as 'mystical.' He's the natural poet of the group. He uses a lot of metaphors, but in an abstract way, not in the same way Jesus told parables or Paul gives cut and dried examples. John tries to breathe life into the spiritual things we can't see or imagine.
Paul writes like a lawyer (or a politician). While sometimes I appreciate that level of detail, smoozing and working out the details, there are times I imagine he would have annoyed me in real life.
The Onion can have some funny stuff.

totally missed that question...
Titus, Hebrew and John are my favorite books. Never tried to narrow them down cause I like each for different reasons.
John for pretty the same reasons as Auben said. I also find it totally fascinating that he was the only disciple not martyred.
Titus because I think it has a lot of really good, positive things to say to women and to women in leadership.
Hebrews so that I do not take my faith for granted or forget the importance of walking out my sanctification.

Why he was not? What happened to all the rest of thems?
I like Proverbs, too. Chock full of good advice.
I should try actually reading the Bible, sometime...I can't recall the last time I did.
