Time flies eh.

Kathryn gave me a sheep doorstop for christmas - it is quite useful...I'll try to attach a picture of it. I feel guilty leaving it alone, and I'm always aware of it staring helplessly up at me. It is weighted with dried beans or something, which just adds to its realness.[Tim]


Hey, and then what happened, was that I saw a poster on the side of the local church here and it says "Make Christmas His-Story", I pointed and laughed, they have good creative christians here with photoshop skilz0rs! [Sandy]

[Richard has been trying to work out a rhyme that describes the opposite phenomenon to "silent but violent". I emailled him some suggestions.]

Subject: silent but violent

rackety but odorfree
This does not truly rhyme - I had many such that were rejected

cacophonous but inodorous
this does not truly rhyme

brutal but neutral
again the r means this is not a 100% rhyme

set-free but scentfree
clever, but not a true rhyme

blatant but latent
this is OK

tooted but muted
No it is not muted

turbulent but impotent
not a rhyme

scary but airy
all farts are airy

Hope that helped.

Not as much as you anticipated
Thanks for trying. I give you one that is OK, but is not as good as mine
