Why must you torture me so?

Why not? In most areas, football is practically a religion.

Especially when either/both teams are church schools...

BYU vs. UofU anybody? Notre Dame? SMU? Oral Roberts? ...

I perfer the religious ones myself at least I know what their agenda is. Way back in the day young Airman Bandwagon had a part time gig delivering pizzas...

I had this one delivery that was way out in the woods ontime. The customer met me out in the driveway and noticed the sticker for the AF base on my car. Then before he paid for his pizza he went back inside to get me some pamphlet/fliers on who is really running the government, and what people can/should do about it.

The next day I turned all the pamphlets and the guys name and address over to OSI. they said "Yeah, we know about him."

Editted for reality.

I see you have never been to Green Bay. not only is football a RELIGION but it trumphs all other things religion. like when the NFL reschedules a game start time on Christmas Day and all of the churches HAVE to change their Christmas Day services around the new game time. I believe no other football town will have THAT happen. a LOT of people here bleed Green and Gold.

I'd like to hear from ONE person who's life was changed by one of these damn pamphlets! Anyone who ever got one and went, "Oh...that's it, I'm running out and getting saved RIGHT NOW!!!!!"

Ugh, I know. I've never, ever, ever, ever understood this. The whole concept of conversion strikes me as the height of arrogance to begin with and I highly doubt its success rate in the modern world when you can't use the "or die" after clause.

Seriously, the next time someone hands you a pamphlet wave your arms at them and go "WOLOLO~". If they ask wtf you're doing tell them the exact same thing they are. ;p

Wait, is that from AoE???

1) GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE is the best defense.
2) Feigning Buddhism gets them to move along, feigning Satanism (of the... interesting sort) gets you amusement ("BE SAVED BY THE LAAAAAAAWD AND GO TO HEAVEN!" "Nah, I'm going to Hell. I'll be the one poking you with a stick for eternity." "WHUHUHUHU" "Hey, better to rule...") Countering with original satanism (Your god is a blind demiurge, Lucifer is the voice of enlightenment!) meets with either terrifying hostility or, on occasion, interesting theological debates.
I only ever get this on trains.

[BlaqueKatt]

Surprising places too, like the tp holder in the restroom, the edge of the framed signs at the entrances, tucked in the edges of the mail boxes. And never. Have we seen. Who. Does. It.

gnomes....tiny pamphlet printing gnomes.....

Wololo~ ay-yoyoyo

I've noticed that all the pamphlets mentioned are advertising of one form or another. But more than that, I've noticed that all the religious pamphlets are from Christian denominations. You never hear of somebody handing out pamphlets trying to convert people to Judaism or Hinduism, for example - at least, not in my little corner of the world.

I used to get free booklets (fairly pretty, really) from Hare Krishnas. Don't know if they still do that.

Ever see one that looks like a folded up $20 bill? Years ago, one of my friends who was working as a stripper got one of those handed to her. She thought she was being given a huge tip, but when she later opened it, it turned out to be a flyer for a local church. Irony!

It's a criminal offence over here to replicate any unit of currency too closely. I'm sure Crazylegs would know the exact details better, but I think it's along the lines of you can't even do it in a newspaper if it's going to show one full side of a note.

Can't see it catching on over here.

About.com has a web page about making copies of money.

Believe it or not we *still* get Alamo stuff (though it's been awhile, maybe this prison sentence will stop his hrodes)

The one that makes me laugh is the local Way Too Religious To Be Believed group (and is rumored to be militia) used to go to Wal-Mart (and like) to shove pamphlets into the camping goods to try to recruit.

We found one of those "Chick Tracts" the other day in our candy. Had a pretty good laugh over it. We were sad we didn't find more

Some joker of a co. shoved a flyer through my letterbox depicting a £40 note.
(For the non-Brits, these don't exist)
It was the same colour as a £20, just the nos. had been changed (Also for the US citizens, our paper money comes in different colours - just like Canada, the rest of Europe etc.)
I wonder how close the co. who designed them came to breaking the law?


BTW, I live close to Raps & he might have been delivered the same one.

That's not just a European thing, there are plenty of advertisements that look like $3 bills here in the U.S.
