huh..

So, Star Wars: the Old Republic, is going free to play, all classes, to level 50 sometime this fall.

The game launched in December of 2011, and less than a year later, it's going free to play. (Apparently, some content will still be subscriber or micropayment locked, but still...)

Phrases I hate (pt. 2)

"Traditional family values"

Why do I hate it? Because it really doesn't mean anything.

Oh sure, when someone says it, they believe it means something. Usually, they mentally picture it as some "Leave it to Beaver" type family, of husband, wife, and 2.5 kids. The problem is, traditions change.

It took the Supreme Court to declare that people of different races could marry, and there wasn't a damn thing the states could do to stop it. That shit took place in 1967. Before that, you took your chances, depending on what state you were in. You could go to jail, or get killed over it.

Until 1949, divorce wasn't legal in South Carolina, except under very special circumstances. That's certainly changed.

Hell, there used to be special laws governing when and if slaves or indentured servants could get married.

And woman were expected to stay home and take care of the kids.

Things change. So, sorry we're not still in full-blown "Leave it to Beaver" mode, or whatever.

By the way

I am a horrible person.

On a recent trip home, we passed by a church whose sign said "First Church of Christ, Scientist". We've probably passed by this church hundreds of times.

This time, however, I thought (and vocalized) "Hey, what about 'First Church of Christ, Mad Scientist'?"

He brought himself back from the dead three days later. Presumably, lightning was involved. Replace Judas in the picture of the Apostles with Igor.

Of course, then you'd have to put pitchfork and torch wielding villagers around the picture of the Crucifixion.....

What? I said I'm a horrible person.

Stay classy, Republicans

Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) has compared requiring insurance companies to provide contraceptive coverage to both the attack on Pearl Harbor and 9/11.

..... yeah, I got nothing.
