Chocolate salty balls

On the one hand, Isaac Hayes is utterly within his rights to be offended by South Park's take on religion, and to quit. On the other: When Matt Stone sounds reasonable compared to you, you're in trouble. And Hayes is probably, as other Scientologist celebrities have, letting someone else tell him what to do. And nobody has the right to remain pristinely unoffended, whether about religion or anything else, in a free society.

oh wow.

on a side note, there's a restaurant down the road from my office called "Chewy Balls". It's a desert and coffee place of sorts I think. Unemployed Isaac could go work there, collaborate on recipes, and make a fortune.

and i can't spell dessert.

The only reason I can keep the two straight is that a teacher years ago pointed out that we would prefer "dessert" to last longer, and we wouldn't prefer to be stuck in the "desert" for any longer than we had to - so the former had one more s. Silly, but it works.

yeah i remember being taught that too at some point. but i forget it sometimes. especially after having completely sober nights--- sobriety REALLY fucks me up the next day, apparently.

Wow, that's kind of weird.
