10-15 mins?! I think my boyfriend is defective.

Be proud! You're obviously much better than DIY!

... trying to figure out how I can use this sentiment and others like it to seize control of a small island nation.

You could seize control of PEI, dude. With a Federal election coming up, everyone's too busy to notice. I'd help. I like potatoes.

And I've always wanted to play Crowbush anyway.

Nah, I just think that Gravekeeper is overly optimistic.

I once tried to exorcise my cat by throwing her in the tub and shouting lines from "The Exorcist".

Yeah, another one of my epic groundings as a kid.

And just today, while we seem to be on that subject, my Mom told me about an incident years ago when a friend of hers actually believed my brother was possessed and needed to be exorcised.

Mom couldn't seem to get it through this person's head that my brother's issues were/still are developmental and affect his mental capacity and functioning (of course this was back around the late 70's so not much was known then about developmental issues, but I digress.)

This "friend" even went so far as to say this to my grandmother. . . and my grandmother didn't mince words (not to mention the fact that she was very protective over both me and my brother when we were little.) Her reply was simply this:

"So who's going to be around to exorcise you to get ME out of your ass?"

Needless to say, Mom didn't stay friends with this person after that incident . . .
