  I was just going thru my emails, chucking out the usual barrage of Spam, when I noticed a subject line that read: "Eliminate Your Debt the Christian Way. " Well this was new. I clicked on it out of curiosity and it was your standard HTML Spam with graphics and whatnot--there's picture of a bible with an American flag draped over it for good measure, and they use this quote from the bible: "Forgive us our debts. " Matt 6:12. Uh, guys, I don't think they were talking about credit card debt in the bible. I also love the email address that it came from: BonusBonez.
Sounds credible, solid, secure, and pious--sign me up! At first I was afraid to visit their urlLink website , but curiosity got the better of me and I had to see what the hell (ha ha) was up. Immediately the header caught my eye: ChristianDebtHelpers.com: A Christian-Themed Approach to Debt Elimination. The first thing I thought of was: traffic school. Remember all the crazy "themed" traffic schools you could go to? Comedy traffic school, Singles traffic school, etc etc ad nauseum. So now you can choose a theme to go with your Debt Elimination . I personally would like the Rodeo Clown-Themed Approach to Debt Elimination. If it doesn't already exist, I'm sure it's in the works.
Yet another sign of the approaching apocalypse. The Christian debtors should be happy about that. ********** Had a giddy late afternoon at work--my coworker Jerome mentioned that he was watching VH1 Classics over the weekend and saw a video for the song urlLink "The Touch" which some of you may remember being hilariously performed by Mark Wahlberg and John C. Reily in Boogie Nights . They were trying to get a music career going to escape the porn world and they were recording this horrible cheesy early 80s rock song that Jerome and I'd always assumed was a made-up song. I mean, how could such a song be real? How wrong we were. Not only was it a real song by a real "recording" artist named Stan Bush, it was also used in the Transformers movie in the mid-80s. Egad! And while exhaustively researching this song, I found out that Orson Welles and Weird Al were both voice talents for the Transformers movie!
This is almost too much for me to take--I think I better go lie down. ********** Some drawings I did of my coworkers' dogs. Kermit is Kristen's dog--an oddly charming corgi & chihuahua mix, and Lucy is my boss' dog who comes to the office every day. She's a really cute Jack Russell Terrier, but has this weird vendetta against our mailman and barks like she wants to rip his throat out every time he comes in.
Of course, to make matters worse, the guy's like afraid of this little dog and once threatened to stop delivering mail to us if we didn't restrain her! She's an aggressive little thing and probably senses his fear, and that's why she needs to show her contempt for him by barking fiercely at him. Anyway, here they are:
