The WORD of the Week

Matthew 3:7-10

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.

And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.


Stupid Fact of the Week
There was only one civilian casualty during the three-day Battle of Gettysburg

Oh, Man
The title of the Article:
"Detox Clinic Opening for Video (Game) Addicts"

The fear:
"
Video games may look innocent..."

The heartbreak:
"'We have kids who don't know how to communicate with people face-to- face because they've spent the last three years talking to somebody in Korea through a computer,' Bakker said. 'Their social network has completely disappeared.'"

The Gateway:
"
It can start with a Game Boy..."

The low point:
"By the time he was in college he was gaming about 14 hours a day and using drugs to play longer."

The ray of hope:
"
He says he has been drug- and game-free for eight months."


Go ahead. Read the entire article. You know you want to. Everybody's doin' it. What are you, chicken? Alright, whatever... the leave and don't ever come back. This site is only for cool people, and cool people read articles like this one.

Yeah... that's what I thought. You like that article, don't you?

Alright... you got to read your stupid article, now scram! I got shit to do.

But you'll be back... oh yes... you'll be back.

    Are they getting stay/fed funding? Either way, that's a slap right in the face for people with real addictions that need real help. Pull the plug already

    I would disagree with you on this one, Ryan. There are stories every year about video gamers that allow themselves to go too far, lose track of their lives, and then die as a result. If you want a hard-core gamer's take on it, head on over to Cntrl+Alt+Del and see for yourself. I don't have time to try and figure out how to get to it, so head over to my blog and get the link.

Lyrics of the Week

ON THE NICKEL
by Tom Waits

("I'd like to do a new song here. This is eh, it's about downtown Los Angeles on 5th Street. And eh all the winos affectionately refer to it as The Nickel. So this is kind of a hobo's lullaby.")

sticks and stones will break my bones,
but i always will be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone,
i'll sing this lullabye just for you,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never comb their hair,
well they're lined up all around the block,
on the nickel over there.

so you better bring a bucket,
there is a hole in the pail,
and if you don't get my letter,
then you'll know that i'm in jail,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never say their prayers,
well they're sleepin' like a baby,
on the nickel over there.

and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
just like punchlines between the cars,
and i know a place where a royal flush,
can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
is on the nickel over there.

so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain,
and you're always late for supper,
and man you let me down again,
i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
on the nickel over there.

so what becomes of all the little boys,
who run away from home,
well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
once you get out on your own,
so here's to all the little boys,
the sandman takes you where,
you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman,
on the nickel over there.

so let's climb up through that button hole,
and we'll fall right up the stairs,
and i'll show you where the short dogs grow,
on the nickel over there.
