I had a supremely shitty Thanksgiving. While my aunt Sheri and mamaw Edna were cooking the turkey, my papaw Richard stopped breathing. He had a DNR order so that was it, he died. He had lung cancer and a brain tumor. He had only had treatment for 4 weeks and was given a life expectancy of 1.5 years with treatment. That shows how much small town doctors know. My family is VERY religious, so naturally the funeral service today was christian. It was really hard for me to not say anything when his eulogy quickly turned into a conversion speech. Literally the preacher said 2 sentences about my papaw (the general “he was a good man. he worked hard and loved his family.”) and then said, “Richard was a child of god and we will see him in Heaven with our maker. But only if you have accepted him and if you have not I want you to come up here today and join us” Like someone was going walk up and kneel at the alter right next to papaw’s casket and get saved during his funeral. The preacher tried to convert us for another 45 mins. Throwing my papaw’s name in there every now and then. Like, “Richard was a sinner, like me, but Jesus took it on the cross…” [blah, blah, blah] It really pissed me off. Like 1.) You don’t know anything about my papaw preacher man and 2.)today is about my papaw and our loss, not your god and your crazy christian agenda.
I MISSED MR. WONDERFUL!! yayayayay
OMG, I have a new favorite rap song! “yeah that christian side hug. ima rough rider, filled up with christ”
Being another listener from England, I didn’t have thanksgiving. Instead, I sat alone and ate pasta with tuna.
So that was fun!
Anyway, I mainly wanted to comment as I have just listened to the ‘Christian side-hug’ part, and I wanted to say that I’m very much a devout Christian. I fully believe in what the Bible says, so yeah, it’s pretty much a huge part of my life.
I’ve been working my way backwards through your archives, and I just listened to episode #14 (Gay Cheerios), where you were talking about the teacher who had legal action taken against him for what he said about Christianity. You got pretty anti-religion in that podcast, and as much as it hurt me to hear you say it, it didn’t stop me from listening and understanding your difference of beliefs.
As you just said in the latest episode “if you really believe what’s in the Bible and stuff….you really don’t believe that it’s OK that people are ungodly atheists”, and I would agree with you there, that is how I feel, however I’m smart enough to understand that trying to force religion on someone does not help in that regard, in fact; it does the opposite.
So whilst I live with a constant desire to share my faith with people, I know that doing so does not go down well with most people. So I use my brain, which, sadly, a lot of religious people fail to do, and thereby gives a bad representation of the whole religion.
Anyway… I wanted to say that the Christian side-hug is ridiculous, and I would only accept it’s use if the person had huge difficulties controlling their mind and dick. Avoiding the problem through proximity is not a viable solution to the problem.
1 thing that always troubled me with thanksgiving, is who are you giving the thanks to?
And I’ve only ever been in 1 basement, and that was in a tiny house.. this leads me to believe that most houses in england don’t have basements, and 14kidmother is probably the worst parent ever.
And please, kill all people over 70. They’re worthless.

We don’t have Thanksgiving over here. I just had a packet of crisps and some toast.

There was a lot of anti-religious talk in earlier episodes. Then there was some whining about how the show was turning into Atheist Talk with Kyle and Orion, so we pulled back on that a little. Still, I’m sure it’ll come up again at some point. If you actually want to hear some more about [i]why[/i] I’m an atheist, then by all means keep working your way backward. If not, well you’ve been warned.
Oh, and I’m keeping your $5 and spending it on SACRILEGE!

I had a feeling there weren’t a lot of basements in England, but I couldn’t remember why I thought that so I wasn’t sure. What a cuntsack.

On the whole twins thing, Kyle said something along the line of “you’re more likely to have twins if you have twins in your family.”
This is something that has always confused me.
First off, that could never be true from the male side. My dad is a twin, but that doesn’t mean I’m more likely to have twins. Having twins is 100% on the female side.
You have two types of twins: fraternal, and identical.
Fraternal twins happen when the ovum releases two eggs instead of one, and both get fertilized by two separate sperm. This is why these twins don’t always look so much alike, they could get completely different traits, and could even be one boy and one girl.
Identical twins happen when one egg gets fertilized, and then it splits into two identical embryos. These twins look exactly alike, because their DNA and genetic traits are EXACTLY alike. And thus, they are always the same gender.
So, secondly, could having twins in the family effect chances of a woman having twins?
The only way I could see that it could would be if there’s some genetic trait that would cause a woman to release two (or more) eggs a month more often. Of course, that would only effect fraternal twins.
Maybe there’s also a trait that makes a woman’s eggs… weaker? …and more likely to split after fertilization? …and thus more likely to have identical twins? That seems less likely.
In any case, my dad is a fraternal twin, and now my sister is pregnant with fraternal twins. I can’t argue against results, but I’m still not 100% convinced that twins in the family increase one’s chances of having twin offspring.

I’m not resting until I learn all the steps to the Christian Side Hug.
I’m gonna get all the bitches da the club.
Let’s get platonic up in this birch, mothatrucka!
So, what happens when you’re one of those people who can get off to rubbing his junk on anything– including people’s sides?
Also, are there side hug variations for different denominations? For different religions alltogether?
Do that Agnostic Oblique Hug?

Fraternal twins do supposedly “run in the family” on the female side, but that’s all I really know about it.
