Today is the late great Joey Ramone's birthday

We're a happy family
Me mom and daddy
Sitting here in Queens
Eating refried beans
We're in all the magazines
Gulpin' down thorazines
We ain't got no friends
Our troubles never end
No Christmas cards to send
Daddy likes men ...

Mysterious Worshippers
'Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the foot that crushed it'
How come all kinds of strange quotes are being appended to my spam these days?

And speaking of forgiveness, I see that the world's first online church had to be shut down after non-believers logged in as Satan and created virtual mayhem. According to The Times, "Church of Fools opened last week promising worshippers the ability to "kneel to pray, cross themselves and perform an arm-raising “hallelujah!”, while a "Smite" button enabled moderators to "consign blasphemers to virtual hell". Sadly fhe blasphemers have taken over the virtual pulpit.'

a SMITE button, eh?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want one!

Actually, I was quite taken with this paragraph on their website: "If you arrive after the maximum number of people have joined the congregation, you will be invited to log in invisibly, as a mysterious worshipper. You’ll still be able to move around, perform actions and follow the service, but your character will be ghosted out and you won't be able to speak. Other members of the congregation won’t be able to see you."

sounds positively divine to me.
