I love the "change one letter" game. It's time to play again.
Gong with the Wind (wistful for Southern windchimes?)

"He's so laid back, he practically sleeps in a coffin."

"But why do you think that?" I like having reasons for what I believe.

If you're not religious, where do you find meaning/value in life? How do you get "spiritually right" with the universe?

After Jesus was solidly dead (the ancient sources agree) long enough to prove He was dead & buried in a guarded tomb, He bodily returned to life, not as a shade or ghost or zombie, but stronger and healthier than before. He offers reconciliation, peace, & true love. Happy Easter!

About 2,000 years ago, a man was executed for crimes he didn't commit. Why do Christians celebrate (yes, celebrate) this event today? That man paid the penalty for our guilt and offered us permanent triumph over injustice. You can hear the whole story at church on Easter Sunday.

Ah, yes, but what good news do you have today?

If you aren't planning to go to church on Easter Sunday, you should. Find one that will tell you the amazing story of how God took away the guilt of all you've ever done wrong and invited you to live in a way that truly matters.

@freeschool Interesting! Had no idea IRC was still around.

War / Freedom Fighting - Feelings about people fighting War(s) before our time... 

@freeschool "Today" is built on what was accomplished by our ancestors and forebears. We can't undo what was done, whether we agree with it or not, so what good we have is due in part to their actions- and what bad we have is due in part to their actions. Understanding history is key to understanding the present.

"Trump claimed Friday he has roughly $500M in cash, but does not want to use it to cover the full bond of a $454M judgment in his New York civil business fraud case."

What would happen if I faced a legal penalty but "didn't want to [pay] it?"

The USA needs to get its act together. There are actual solutions to actual problems, and the most visible parts of our government are taking turns trying to hit the other parts of the government with pool noodles.

Kenny Rogers died on Mr. Rogers' birthday. Conspiracy?!?

Hitler was only in power for 25 of his hoped-for 1,000 years. It took no small effort to remove him, though.

Technical terms that sound like band names:

The Golgi Bodies

Your turn!

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. Today is the dawn of a new age of innovation in the Empire; today is the March of Ideas!"
*aide whispers in Caesar's ear*
"Excuse me, I misspoke. Today is the Ides of March! *pause* Oh... oh dear."

"What! Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!/ Then you shall have no pie."
