...and I assume you (and by you I mean that creepy bald guy in Arkansas who is obsessed with my posts) want me to post something Christmassy, don't you? Well tough! Not in the mood, but please check my YouTube account (link in the side) favourites for some material to help you get by...
Speaking of YouTube, with the gift of a new webcam with microphone I hope to start posting videos soon, so watch this space...

Jesus Ain't Famous?
Sorry for the HUGELY inordinate amount of Jesus-related posts recently but I thought this was important.
Sitting inconspicuously at the bus station just earlier, I saw an advertisement for yet another Christian revivalist group on the side of the 207 bus, full of happy, white, clean faces, all declaring they had been "touched" by Jesus (most probably while some priest "touched" their kids).
Wanting to know more, I waited for the bus to loop round the station, and saw that the group's name was Making Jesus Famous.
Now, I don't know really, what with me being a hateful, bitter atheistic scumbag, but I think that the secondary protagonist in the most bestselling book of all time, along with no less than a million different hymns, books, poems and songs dedicated to him and memorializing him and his supposed acts, might have got all the exposure he could ever possibly get, don't you? It's not like he needs more fame, does he?

Jesus, That Hurt...
Since my fight with Russell Nash, and due to my general laziness and inability to act (notice that this blog only has 5 other posts for example), I am still banned from Escape Artist Forums.
Despite this, I am still listening avidly to Escape Pod and Pod Castle--no trumped-up little techno-tyrant is going to stop me enjoying my speculative fiction, Darwin-dammit!
But when recently listening to the new and very good--if overly long--episode 76 of Pod Castle by Holly Phillips, The Small Door, at the end part--where comments on previous eps. are read out from the forums--one of my comments was read from just before the erm, shall we say unpleasantness, where I declared EP 68, A Heretic By Degrees, an "awesome idea."
Jesus, it hurt, knowing that it was probably last time I'll ever be heard on that or any other Escape Artist podcast ever again...

Sweet Zombie Jesus!
From Nonreligious Nerd:
What do Dracula, Frankenstein, Zombies, and Jesus Have in Common?
Yep, he pretty much nails it...to the cross!
