Why in the name of all that is holy am I still at work?
In the previous question does the "all that is holy" part refer to what everyone thinks is holy? 'Cause that would include a lot.

Given that the phrase is *all* that is holy, I've got to assume it's pretty much what everyone thinks is holy. And given that animists and gaiists, or at least certain of them, believe that the earth and everything on it is touched by the nature of the divine, that's a pretty wide field.

Say...didn't we pass a castle back down the road a few miles?

Maybe they have a phone we could use!

Castles don't have phones, asshole ;)

One of these days I'm going to need someone to explain to me how this IFAMAQ thing got started...

You know, I bet that would be an excellent question to ask, some Friday. (:

Dammit, you saw through my clever ruse! =D

Okay, so...how did IFAMAQ get started?

Ah, yes, it's nostalgia day here at IFAMAQD! Here we find the first appearance of IFAMAQD! Issue number one, which is currently a collector's item and (if in mint condition) fetches as much as $250 at conventions. It's already a strong indication of where, over the following nine months, the story arc would travel. And here we see the first discussion of IFAMAQD, in which I talk about my hopes and dreams for IFAMAQD! and my inspiration. Which was my friend Jeremy doing it on his LJ. The sincerest form of flattery, boys and girls, remember that. Not plagiarism. Flattery.

And while I was taking a stroll down Amnesia Lane and wishing that the LJ function for a full-journal search was completed, I found just an old entry in which I displayed how clever I am. I present it here for admiration, and so that all the new kids can see that my journal is not just a bastion of knowledge, edification and political
instruction, it's also occasionally amusing.

You are given a one-time, round or one-way, trip in a time machine. Where do you go? What do you do?

I'm probably headed twenty years into the future to make sure that my cynicism and world weariness is actually justified. I'm going to call myself up and ask me for some good stock choices while I'm at it.

Have you read Christopher Moore's A Dirty Job yet?

I bought it, read it, laughed out loud several times, and promptly loaned it out. Twice.

It just came back. I reread it, and laughed out loud AGAIN.

Recommended. And, bonus, there's a returning character from Coyote Blue.

In fact, I read it fairly recently. http://cyranocyrano.livejournal.com/458429.html
Definitely enjoyed it and squeed when MF showed up.
