So are you going to take some food from these church people, or what? I'd take it, if I were you. Now that we've fallen on hard times, we have to rely on the kindness of strangers. Plus, any food you take from them is that much less food that will end up in the mouths of the undeserving. Also, I thought you were living in the rent house. What kind of tenants has your family been keeping?

Sorry for the mixup, Stephanie.
Fnord is a word from the Illuminatus Trilogy.
The Spirit of the Lord is alive and well in Sanger, Texas. Twice so far this morning I've had a church group stop by to try to give me a bunch of food for a Thanksgiving meal. I really like the idea of helping the poor and making sure that no child goes hungry, but they keep coming back, and it's getting annoying. Another thing wrong with this is that the previous residents weren't the most deserving lot. The man that lived here is wanted, and his common-law wife is now doing 10 to 20 in Gatesville. I don't know how the system works, but I guess that you go inform the group of your destitute status, or the county or CPS does. Anyway, it makes me angry that he would try to take advantage of this charity, even if he was poor. If you can't make a living as a drug dealer, you've gotta be pretty worthless.

The FBI has released a psychological profile for the person behind the Anthrax attacks.

I guess I should clarify some more. Stephanie was my interpreter while I was in Scotland. She was helpful coz scots don't understand words like 'tourist' (pronounced 'tur-ist' in the strict Texan accent).
And a clarification for Stephanie, Fnord is actually Devin. Nobody has ever, or will ever, call him Fnord, and neither should you. Fnord is just some character/thing/idea/object/i-don't-know in a conspiracy theory "fiction" novel that I never read but heard a lot about.

Oh, and you want us to believe that it was a coincidence that you happened to be in Europe at the same time as Stephanie?
Blah. That was supposed to be funny. I think that I'm losing my ability to relate to normal people, having been out of general population for three months, now.
I also wanted to mention that the Anthrax is coming to North Carolina, now. Coming to get me.

Very important clarification:
Tiffany is my sister. She is in Northern California going to art school. She does not post here.
Stephanie is not my sister. She is in Japan teaching british people how to drink. You might recall that I took a trip to France and Scotland a year ago, Stephanie was living in France at the time.

I wanna do aid work in Afghanistan.
Stephanie: blogger is a huge website that maintains thousands of weblogs. flooz uses blogger so we don't have to write our own editing setup. You have to be a member of blogger to post to flooz, so that's where all the stephanies came from. As for lack of other posters, your brother broke the site for about two weeks, and everybody else that had been posting to it left.
Oh, and everyone should go buy some music.

Little tiny bombs that kill cancer. I always get so excited when I see things like this, thinking that they'll be out in time for people in my family to use them. But these things come out in the news, and then you never hear about them again. For instance, a few years ago I saw an article on drkoop.com describing how scientists were training white blood cells to attack cancer cells. But after that one article, I've never seen anything about it again. Not only that, but I can't even find that article anymore...

hello you guys. i've been reading this cite for about a week now.. does anyone beside andy and germy and fnord post?
and call me naive, but what's the relationship between blogger and willworkforflooz? it took me 6 tries to get a username, and i didn't think there were that many stephanies actually posting to willworkforflooz.
and about Bush's position on the fall of kabul. he's a politician. if the army screws up and invades kabul, he's going to stand up and say how proud he is of them, no matter what he thinks. and no matter how much that makes him look like a hypocrite. that's his job, to be a hypocrite.

Bush didn't want a bloody battle in Kabul, with pictures of dead molsem children on Arabic TV. If the Taliban wants to regroup to the South for the winter and give the illusion that the Nothern Alliance is making great progress, then yippeekiyay. Or something like that. Uhem.
So, anyway, uh, about hunting. Opening weekend my father got this 'Texas eleven point', which means that it had 5 on one antler and 6 on the other, plus two little browtines too small to score. It weighed a ton. The worst thing about it was that we were about 4000 feet from the closest point the truck could get. Oh, and the place we were hunting had 3 massive gulleys cut by creeks, so it was like mountain climbing with a 200 pound deer on our shoulders. I, on the other hand, got a much more reasonable 140 pound spike buck about 80 yards from the closest vehicular access. Between them both, we have about 40 pounds of sausage meat waiting for us to get a feral hog, so we can grind them together. That excludes all of the other meat, of course. My brother got three turkeys, one a neck shot from 150+ yards. Remind me never to anger my brother when he has his 7 Mag. Jeremy, were you hunting in the east or west zone? You know, with the new hunting regulations, you can hunt deer in both areas and they tag separately...

Well, my theory that I'm not crazy has held up. I'm reading today how happy everyone is that the Northern Alliance has taken Kabul. When I read that President Bush is "pleased with military developments in Afghanistan," I thought I was going nuts. I could've sworn that just yesterday the US didn't want the Northern Alliance to invade Kabul. Seems like those two articles are almost diametrically opposed to each other. I guess the truth is very fluid these days...

I go off to the hill country for a few days and Kabul falls, how about that.
I got an 8 point. It was pretty small for an 8 point, though. And for anybody here who doesn't like hunters/hunting, my scope hit me above my eye when I shot. I know not to put my face too close to the thing when I go to the shooting range, but I always forget when I'm aiming at a deer. Oh well. There's just a small mark, no big bruises or cuts. I'm an idiot.
