You gave her a French name despite living in the south?

Poor Sophie is gonna suffer at school

I knew we should've called her Uniquea.

I actually respect the French and their contributions to both world civilization and US development. So there!


Hmmmm. Wasn't there a smilie that was more of a "raspberry" than ? I seem to remember that it was red and the tongue moved...

That pretty much sums up my daughters opinion of herself.

Nice passage. I'll email it to her mother, see what she things. Thanks!

I'll reiterate: I think it is a lovely name, but it is in its own way very religious, but a type of religiosity that I have a lot of respect for, since it is based on the idea that knowing is a godlike state and the best possible state for a human being.

Hmmmm, if these peeps were religious fundies, then I would have to agree with what JohnT did.


But at the same time, I think it also sucks... You should have taken a pic as evidence to Disney/Pixar. It would makes things much more interesting.

I did have my camera phone with me, but since we were literally one table away it would've been difficult for me to surreptitiously take their picture, especially as the stupid thing is programmed to alway use the flash.

Nothing will happen because of this. Disney isn't going to sue someone for giving them free advertising, nor are they going to take on that bad publicity by suing a Church.

Well openly taking a picture of them, would have made it so much more interesting, no?

Yes there was:

Kuci was a heavy user.

It got lost in a santa's hat-related debacle, IIRC.

Free adverstising?!

And if they sue kids for drawing a mural, I don't think they'll care about suing a Church.

I don't think anyone has been so vapid and useless as to brag about it on the internet)

I also don't think you're very intelligent...

You're my favorite nutjob, Wiggy.

And it's that people are stupid.

Yeah, I've got a few of their quotes in my sig.

Why would you care about being able to take the picture in secret? Are you really that scared of a couple of church-group ladies?

[Wiglaf]

What would you expect from a tough guy who calls Disney and Pixar's piracy divisions and then brags about in on Apolyton.

Wimps
Christians

Manners are an ingrained trait here in the South. As I wouldn't want strangers openly taking pictures of me, so I wouldn't do that to others. This concept of doing unto others how you want done unto you is called the "Golden Rule" and was conceived by some guy named Jesus.

Wiggy oughtta try it out sometime. Too bad he's stuck in a morass of moral relativism, where it's OK to steal for Jesus, even though Jesus believed that thou should not steal. Apparently he considers his own Gods single greatest contribution to human morality to be beneath him, and its practitioners, "wimpy."

Fuggin' bizarre if you ask me.

Nah. I think it would ruin his sex appeal among the naughty boys.
