An Australian man who made international headlines last week after his Facebook account was repeatedly shut down for using the Vietnamese name “Phuc Dat Bich” has just admitted that he made the whole thing up.

A simple voter test could consist of showing the prospective voter a plain red and green cup. If they claim that signifies anti-Christmas sentiment, hand them a Chick tract to color, and tell them their very special ‘ballot’ will be hung right on the fridge where everyone can see how carefully they stayed in the lines.

I considered telling him that they probably only gave him the french fry so that he would leave them the hell alone, but I don’t know the guy real well, and didn’t feel like starting an argument with a guy who begged for a french fry for a full 30 minutes.

I’m not even American, so my 2 cents are are 1.52 of yours. Normally I’m one of those militant atheists who hates church and everything about it; I'm just trying to understand the other side here.

Instead we’ll just be stuck like this, with MD and VA fighting over who has to take responsibility for paying for things. That’s why our Metro has gone down the hole in recent years.

I also think the religious freedom aspect is weird, but if they do perceive themselves to be unfairly targeted by parking policies because they're a church, or because of the type of church they are, I can see why they'd make it.

I think most cities have weird cycling politics. But yes, this situation certainly seems more complex than the typical religious liberty complaint that grabs headlines.

And churchy folks often trend older; as much as I’d love to see as many people on their bikes as possible, it’s just not always feasible for older…

That was my reaction, too. “You’re just handing me some candy from your sweaty palm, all gross ‘n’ prolly smelling slightly like mushed peas? No thanks.”

Of course, I have no such reserves about drugs. “What’s this, a joint? Sure, I’ll have a toke. I’m just going to look away so I don’t have to see your cold sore while…

But have you seen the ecstasy pills made in fun candy shapes that people are apparently handing out to unsuspecting kids for Ridiculously Nefarious Purposes®?

I’m pretty sure Satan sticks the fundamentalist Christian bigots with us fundamentalist militant atheists. Who else could mutually annoy each other for eternity with out fatigue?

I briefly worked in an abattoir, and the butchers would all swear up and down that there was nothing wrong with raw meat. You could slick yourself a steak right off a side of beef and eat it, no problem.

But they also said they wouldn’t touch anything that’s been through a grinder unless it’s been thoroughly cooked.…

Boys, when you’ve been rejected, and your friend at the bar suggests getting over it with a couple of shots, this is not what they mean.

Still, DON’T ACTUALLY PUNCH THEM.

No, his last name isn’t George, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find out there are more than a few FN Chiefs who are stand-up people.

Yes, and I think he still is, which is why I’m deidentifying him.

That probably says something about the dearth of well-known First Nations actors more than anything, but Graham Greene would be perfect as Don.

The guy is okay, but the woman is awful from the second she sits down. Nothing is good enough for her, she’s not ready to order when she says she’s ready, she won’t make eye contact—the sort of completely entitled person who thinks servers are lower than dog shit. It takes her a lifetime to make up her mind on…

Hahahahahahaha! “engineered with human genes”! Hahahaha! So “it’s become so smart”! Hahahahahahaha! Have you met humans? Hahahahaha! ‘Smart’! Hahahaha! You slay me! Hahahaha!

I was going to bring up the tourists that come to Banff or Jasper and ask where they house the animals in the winter, but you had to ruin it with your sensible approach to wild and occasionally dangerous megafauna.

That’s probably sensible. I don’t know how common typhus is.
