Pending Big Watershed Moment in Intellectual Poison History
I'd not have thought that this little blog would get to 10,000 visitors in the first year but here we are, pushing towards 10K at speed. I thought it would be later this week but there's a good chance we'll break the barrier by tomorrow.

I'd like to think that the 10,000th visitor to the site will be here in search of something I actually wrote about and not on a random search for wacky Japanese stuff like the nipple scarves, see through panty skirts or the USB toothbrush (which we're still trying to figure out just why someone would want a USB toothbrush, maybe for the world's most control freak dentist who wants hard statistical data on how often the patient's been brushing and for how long and concentrating on what areas but really, some people need to relax a bit, eh?).

By the way, I'm entirely too excited about some toothpaste I just bought during my lunch hour wander about town. Crest's Rejuvenating Effects looks like I may never have to go to see the dentist ever again. Which would be fine because that bugger likes to beat me up with his whiny little drill, scrappers and stainless steel toothpicks. Ahh, I know I'll still have to go but a toothpaste that says it can repair some of the damage caused by tooth decay? Heck yeah, I'm down with that for $4!

Back to the 10,000 visitor thing. If its someone who's actually here to read or check in then I'd like to do something cool for them. Don't quite know what yet but something could be done. Maybe an Amazon gift certificate or, if you're local, an invite to one of Paula's and my sushi parties or beers out one night. Who knows?

Got a good idea to suggest (within reason, keeping in mind that I'm just another worker bee like most of the rest of you though with a healthy dose of ego need apparently)? Drop a note in the comments and let's see who's got the best idea.

Who Asked God about his thoughts on Abnormal Sex?
Apparently somebody did because I came across his (well, his messenger, Odette Ouellette who also happens to have a book for you to buy, crazy how that works).
Anyway, I was thinking, what does a site like Health Recipes have to do with divine knowledge about whether or not a given sexual act is abnormal and thus a greater sin than normal sex that's not for making more Christians? Well, its one of those subtle church run sites that "pretends" to be merely a conduit for health related information but instead they're working the angles, trying to weasel God into everything they do.

So here's what GOD says about abnormal sex as interpreted and regurgitated by Odette. The site does make a point of saying that all opinions expressed therein are her own and are not reflective of Health Recipes. Ol' Odette's sooo darned helpful that's highlighted other areas of the Bible that talk about lewd, carnal sins of the flesh.

Hey, did you know that to fornicate you've gotta be bumping uglies with one married person and one unmarried? Which is also adultery. Kind of like a sin two for one deal. One act for two sins, now THAT'S effeciency.

But why even try when One Simple Prayer Can Gain Heaven's Entrance? Yup, they advertise it on their juicing page. Why in the heck can't people just pass along a nice juice recipe and keep their flipping religious convictions to themselves?

Oh yeah, because the Church is losing adherents faster than Big Tobacco is killing off its customer base. Its like a race to see who can die off first. So they must indoctrinate, they must invest in subtle marketing schemes to make smoking (or just replace smoking with religion) look cool. They hire young and pretty people to hawk it, they glamorize it in movies, they fill tobacco with additives that make it more difficult to quit.

Hmm, interesting. I started out writing about finding God when I all I wanted was a juice recipe and ended up horking up a blackened lung at Big Tobacco. And to attempt to rebalance my karmic scales, how about a link to The Truth to give people a fighting chance to learn about how awful cigarettes really are and the unreal means that the scum bag executives would go through to get people to try a cigarette, just one because they know that's all it takes. Cigarette executives are only slightly higher than Spammers but that's because we know who the executives are. They should ALL be voted off the island.
