-CHRISTMAS: THE COOKIE-ING. Josh got the special cookie presses he ordered, so we've begun baking Christmas cookies. The first round went okay, but I expect the true awesome is yet to come. Also, Josh ended up having to clean the oven all night. Between some bacon we'd cooked and some chicken, the bottom of the oven was all gronk and anytime we ( Read more... )

for the bottom of the oven: http://www.solutions.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&itemID=14736 It can be removed and washed down. I have one for the oven, one for the toaster.

Ooooooh.

That looks like a fine thing, indeed.

Given the amount of splattery stuff that happens in my oven? Necessary.

I know I've said this before, but I seriously covet your tattoo. DO WANT.

Tuskegee syphilis experiment. They never learn.

But but...they're not tinkering with peoples' bodies this time!

*barf*

I'm blogging it anyway.

I know there was someone who said that people en masse tend to become statistics, but that person was Joseph Stalin. Blech.

redstapler December 9 2010, 16:45:36 UTC

He never harmed anyone!

Oh. Wait.

I have no idea what cookies to make for the exchange on Monday. Regular peppermint-chunk butter cookies? Chocolate-peppermint crinkles? Something else entirely? I dunno! Don't wanna spend a ton on ingredients, but do want nummy cookies...

Also, I second the suggestion for an oven liner. I adore mine.

And yeah, totally meatspace trolls. I don't even.

redstapler December 9 2010, 16:45:15 UTC

We're doing like, basic sugar cookies and things called "Spritzers."

I'll post pictures.

Spritz cookies ROCK. My aunt gave me an electric spritz gun a few years ago, and I want to love it, but it always jams on me. I need to get a manual one again and go to town.

Josh's mom just uses a cookie press. They come out BEAUTIFULLY.

Do they even have a message anymore? Now I'm sincerely beginning to believe the theory they really just are meatspace internet trolls.

Um. Theory?

- The WBC has stated publicly on more than one occasion that they aren't interested in saving souls or bringing people to Jesus.
- They have also stated that their job, that God has given them from on high, is to tell everyone that God hates them and they're going to burn in hell, period. No salvation, no forgiveness, that's it.

So basically the only reason they picket is to literally wave inflammatory slogans and get attention. And yell at people that they're going to Hell.

Actually, it's far more mercenary than that. Several of the Phelps clan are lawyers, and their main income comes from suing people that assault or otherwise harass them during these protests. They quite literally make their living from provoking people.

I keep forgetting that detail. I think I intentionally forget it so that I don't go into rage fugues.

Re: By request yagathai December 9 2010, 17:26:35 UTC

Is it better or worse because it's hate driven by greed, rather than hate for hate's sake?
