    It’s not that they were breaking the rules, it’s that they were preying on vulnerable people.
    If you want to talk about Jesus’ relationship with rules, look at the people he chose to spend time with – outcasts and social undesirables. Rulebreakers. Vulnerable people, people who didn’t have the luxury of pondering where stealing bread lies morally when you’re starving.
    And look at his response to the question about which commandment was the most important: “If you thought it was about the rules, you missed the point”.

    His dad is his eyeball! It has arms and legs. His name is Medama-Oyaji, which translates directly to “eyeball daddy”.
    Also the way you say “sunny-side-up” when referring to styles of frying eggs, you say “medama-yaki”, which translates directly to “fried eyeball” because it kinda looks like the yolk is a pupil and the white is the white.

    This has been: the crossover between 60s ghost anime and eggs.




  • Oh! You just changed my mind about Piers Anthony.

    I didn’t like his writing, but I did like his author’s notes. But in one, he wrote that writing is a job, and some days you just have to sit at your word processor and put some garbage on the page even if you’re not feeling it.
    At the time I hated that. I had some grand illusions about the craft and how every word must be intentional and earnest in order to have value.
    So that’s why I quit reading his books.

    Well, it was that and the reverse poop in Bearing an Hourglass.
