It's the alzheimers....

For some reason, I thought "Mr. Six" would be an interesting name for a Magic Origin character on City of Heroes, but damned if I can remember why I thought this.

not surprised

SC Governor Sanford: I oppose the federal stimulus plan! (give me some money!)
I am a family values Republican! (Excuse me while I go visit my mistress.)
I oppose the health care plan! (excuse me, Rep. Clyburn, help me out with some funding)

(no subject)

It was... let me think... '85? No, '86.

The Patriarch was starting the same old shit over the holy sites in Jerusalem, and he'd sent some of his guys down there. Well, the Pope calls me into his office to talk about this. He says those Greeks, they got no respect. Not for the locals there, not for us. They need to be taught a lesson.

Well, immediately, I think I'm going to need some backup on this. Those Greeks, like I said, no respect, but they are tough, you know? So I get a few guys together. One of them being Cardinal Uziano. Yeah, "Two Toes". You know the story of how he got that name, right? Yeah, ripped two toes off some little geek who was talking about how the Pope was the Anti-Christ. That's after he flattened the guy.

Anyway, we roll down to Jerusalem, and it turns out that the Greeks, they've heard of "Two Toes" as well, so almost immediately things calm down. I mean quick like. They were scared. And scared is almost as good as respect, you know? So we're all acting cool, and we get everything worked out. Only had to drink a couple of the Greeks under the table. Yeah, they can drink that ouzo stuff all day long, but they can't handle this drink we called a drillbit back when... well, never you mind when.

Anyway, that's my favorite Christmas memory.
