knock, knock
“Hello? Oh, it’s you, Jesus.”
“Mind if I come in? Nice place you’ve got here.”
“Um, yeah. Thanks for the compliment, Jesus.”
“Say, what’s that delicious smell? Is that a burger you’ve got there? I sure am hungry from all that complimenting…”
“*sigh*

Their xtian beliefs clearly did not extend to supplying their passengers with proper aircraft maintenance, as the investigation following the crash off the Southern Californian coast demonstrated. I've been boycotting them ever since. Didn't know about I&O, I don't eat fast food anyway, but now I have a good reason to dissuade my friends from ever going there.

On a related note, last night my husband and I were flipping through the tv music channels and listened to The Clash's "Rock the Casbah." My husband told me that there was a law that pubs could not open and serve alcohol before 2 pm on Sundays...but there was some loophole in the law where "casbahs" could. So basically on Sundays they became the places to go to get pissed before the football matches since the pubs couldn't open.

In my home town, it was a HUGE DEAL when the mandatory bar/club closing time was set to 2AM (previously it was 4AM). It was silliness. Last call was about 1:50AM and the bars had to have everybody <em>out</em> of the establishment by 2AM on the money or receive huge fines. This was done to apparently reduce the amount of late night drunk driving. What has happened is that we have a lot of drunks with nowhere to go now at 2AM. I've moved away but I hear it has gotten better (drunks on road) but only mainly due to the fact that the nightlife was absolutely killed. Everybody just drives to the larger surrounding cities. Nonsense blue laws piss me off... Jeff Eyges - Agreed. It seems like there are things we can both learn from each other. :-) Lindsay – Glad to hear about the pub time limit.

And I understand that the French only allow limited discounting for a week or two each year, so that big chains can't come in and drive all the local stores out of business. You Europeans have managed to preserve a sense of community in a way we haven't.

Outside of maybe London/Manchester/Edinburgh Sundays in the UK really suck. What makes it even stranger is that there is a higher percentage of non-religious/atheists in that country than there are in the US.

As for the fast food, isn't it all the work of the devil anyway? Must be to be so tasty and yet so damned unhealthy at the same time.

That certainly must be part of it, but I'm also hoping the state is a sign of the deterioration of fundie control around the edges of the bible belt with the younger and more tolerant generations growing up and voting for the first time. I'm hoping 50-80 years from now the bible belt will only be a few neighborhoods in the middle of Mississippi. We'll see. :-) Either way, yes it's cool!
