Here we go...
... alright. First day of work. I can do this...
(eep!)
Also, for the numerous people who read this, I present to you a fantastic parody of jack chick's tracts, which includes my favourite tentacled monster:
http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=135
And, for those unfamiliar with jack chick (I'm refusing to use capitals on his name, because his intolerant point of view bothers me immensely, though I do find them somewhat entertaining), the list of his tracts:
http://www.chick.com/catalog/tractlist.asp
The tracts are, in places, very silly (the most mocked one is "Dark Dungeon", which explains how playing D&D will jeopardise your immortal soul) and in places intolerant and offensive (some of the descriptions on the website: "Allah had no son: The Allah of Islam is not the God of creation"; "The Little Bride: Protect children against being recruited as Muslims. Li'l Susy explains that only Jesus can save them"; "The Birds and the Bees: At a very young age, schoolchildren are being told that homosexuality is okay. Here is God's view, carefully written for young readers"... sadly, the list goes on. Oddly, Jesus has always seems a much more tolerant sort than those who speak in his name. I'm very happy that the bulk of the Christians I've met aren't like chick and his comrades...).
But I should climb down off my soapbox before I really get started and get ready for work...
(eep!)
Everyone wish me good luck!
