yes, i'm posting again. yes this is odd. no, jamie lee is NOT a hermaphrodite.
anyway, i know that this might not be the most PC thing or the most polite
thing or the most tolerant thing to say, but....can you please keep your
overbearing religious ranting off wire!!!

i'm probably one of only a few, but i find this incredibly offensive.
you're completely entitled to your beliefs, but keep them amongst people
who care. i don't force my atheism down your throat. (am i going to hell? i
hope so, cause Bono will sure be there. satan really digs his alcoholism.
infact, when i was talking intimately with bono in a inner sydney crack
den, he told me that he'd already sold his soul to the devil to get the
MacPhisto getup. his master was most impressed with his impersonation.
after i convinced him that my soul wasn't for sale, he sold me some crack
instead which we proceeded to shoot into the viens in our eyeballs.) sorry,
that's a bit far. maybe.
i didn't get into U2 on account of their religious beliefs, but i know
some of you did. still, i don't think that makes this list a palpet. bono
sings of pain, of lust, of love, of faith (in whatever form you concieve
that to be), of triumph, of sex (insert here multiple lyrical examples) and
of drugs ("lovely dovey stuff = esctacy). this is all stuff about real
life. important stuff that you can feel. add to this one portion of rocking
music and you have the reasoning behind U2's brilliant, pop sensibility.
that's why i like 'em.
please don't push me off my soapbox. i can get down myself.
love and alfalfa,
elmo.
