As you are smashing pecans, think of it as reducing hardened kernels of hate to ineffectual bits of dust. Maybe the fundies who eat your cookies will feel less hate, even if they don't know why. Of course, they'd croak if they knew it was from love-filled Crafted cookies, but that just makes it more fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-57065771676022961612007-12-14T08:08:00.000-05:002007-12-14T08:08:00.000-05:00Kindness will out (and besides, you'll never be ab...Kindness will out (and besides, you'll never be able to match fundies nastiness-for-nastiness).<BR/><BR/>Re: Cookie Monster What do you do when venerating Pele becomes so prevalent that 80% of your young women end up being sacrificed in volcanos, and your population is on the verge is dying-out? You don't disrespect Pele (especially not while living on a volcanic island), but maybe you de-emphisize the sacrifice just a tad. Or maybe sacrificing 200-pounds of pineapples (or carrots) is the equivalent of sacrificing a 90-pound virgin. <BR/><BR/>If Cookie Monster eating carrots helps turn around our childhood obesity problem, then crunch-on blue dude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-81703432513226408722007-12-14T07:04:00.000-05:002007-12-14T07:04:00.000-05:00Kayak says:YDG beat me to this one!

The next batch had six ex-lax doctored cookies all set aside and ready to unmask the thief. I took some regular cookies to work and handed a few out. Next day I took the doctored cookies. When they disappeared I simply watched to see who had a case of the Colorado Quick Step! I made it clear to the “gentleman” in question WHY he was in the shape he was in. When he expressed anger i simply put my hand around his neck, shoved him against the wall and told him that if he ever so much as looked at my lunch again I’d slit him from crotch to throat. No cookies ever vanished after that. <BR/>Your situation is of course a little different.<BR/> Think of the song “twelve days of Xmas”<BR/>Twelve crapping Xians! <BR/>Or <BR/>Twelve Xians crapping!<BR/> If you prefer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-13667285708362909622007-12-13T21:17:00.000-05:002007-12-13T21:17:00.000-05:00not only is the cookie monster not allowed to eat ...not only is the cookie monster not allowed to eat cookies, oscar the grouch isn't allowed to be grouchy...he is too mean they say...arghghghg!I say...<BR/>I for one would put some shaved exlax in the cookies...but then I'm a bad pagan...yellowdoggrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906624317290990109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-13976173874168502122007-12-13T20:37:00.000-05:002007-12-13T20:37:00.000-05:00"You see, Sis is one of those healthy type people ..."You see, Sis is one of those healthy type people who eat five servings of fruit and vegetables every day while getting plenty of exercise and gulping down vitamin packs with excess amounts of water."<BR/><BR/>If she thinks she is going to that 'Christian' heaven, why does she even want to prolong her life here?<BR/><BR/>So that she can end her life crapping in a diaper again?BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-86898439633620705382007-12-13T18:26:00.000-05:002007-12-13T18:26:00.000-05:00Really an ethical situation on all counts.
