@4 and @5, too bad he's married. Her name is Sarah, and she is known in the youtube community as "The Yeti". Here is John's first video on the Brotherhood 2.0 project, which began January 1st, 2007: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqi9QrNLx…

I think a lot more people would get vaccinated if we did some consciousness-raising about Diptheria, which is the third part of that vaccine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphtheria

I looked it up while being paranoid about an exposure to Whooping Cough last spring (like so many others, I'd let my tetanus shot expire due to poor insurance coverage...fixed now, but it was terrifying for a bit), and Diptheria is totally horrible sounding!

Maybe people aren't scared of tetanus because you can avoid getting cuts, and whooping cough sounds like a bad cold, but diptheria is scary!

@30 Rev. Helmiere is ordained by the United Methodist Church, the second-largest protestant denomination in the US (just behind Baptists). It is NOTHING like Mars Hill.

Bread and Jam was one of our family favorites, and A Baby Sister fro Frances was one of the books my big sister got to get her used to the idea of me joining the family.

I think that the Canucks performance lately is proof that they're Seattle's team, too. Therefore, we should treat them as faithfully as you do the other Seattle teams. We are only allowed one winning sport at a time.

And tell Luongo, "Louuuuuuuuu" for me.

It's nice to see the ol' alma mater has recovered enough from the Annie Sprinkle events of Valentines Day 2005 that they invited Dan out to speak. I'm jealous.

I smile every time I see the signs propped up in the windows of Tacoma's First United Methodist left over from their 9/11 demonstration against the idea of burning the Qur'an! It's definitely what I've loved best about my bus ride for the last week.

I second @1. Coins are nice for smaller denominations because they're way more durable. (Also you can wash them...have you seen how grody those $1s get? eeew)

Maybe one reason folks won't fill out the survey is that it requires you to enter a full name and address...I don't know if I need the mayor's office knowing my nightlife habits
