How about a sting of cattle cars to haul all the homeless people around Calif.

CASH OR OCTOPUS is what the Chinese characters say but not what they mean.

There are only so many characters in Chinese and they must be used to describe something new like a token used to board a means of public transportation. The last two characters are "chapter or book" and "fish or chip." Together they mean octopus or a book of travel tickets (chips), depending on the context.

Octopus? Yes, a book has many chapters and an octopus has many arms. The character for fish can also mean chip, not sure why (fish and chips?) Get it?

I think the octopus is the better deal.......

OMG. He said he was "going to be brief." On and on and on and on, saying...saying.....what? I've heard it all before (and without the occasional clearing of that hawker in his throat he kept trying to dislodge.) Yeegods. What a colossal bore. I mean. Yes. "Kingdom Level" = God or aliens. Not a new story (since the 90's circa.) (I made it as far as 11:53.)

Not good, gives Catholicism a bad name. For example, look at this scene...

Living Biblically.jpg (74.88 KiB) Viewed 1961 times

Chip is upset with Gary for cheating on his (Gary's) wife. So Chip asks his priest, "What does the Bible say we should do about adulterers?" The priest answers, "The bible says we should stone adulterers." So, Chip throws a stone at Gary in a restaurant.

Talk about cherry picking (as Rufus calls it.)
The cherry: John 8:5
5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?

The inconvenient truth: John 8:7
7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

A Catholic Priest knows that Jesus put a stop to stoning sinners. Jesus explained why in the parable of the wheat and the weeds. The show makes priests appear to be stupid dolts.

Reference: Matthew 13:1-30

That is Marshall Applewhite. I could only take 10 minutes of it, you lasted longer than me Murph.

Marshall Herff Applewhite, Jr., also known as "Bo" and "Do", among other names, was an American cult leader who founded what became known as the Heaven's Gate religious group and organized their mass suicide so they could get up to the flying saucer to heaven. (Apparently flying saucer crews only accept dead humans onboard.) Thirty-nine of his followers committed suicide to join him on his trip to heaven in a flying saucer.

Like it needs any help in that department,

That is Marshall Applewhite.

Probably the only service that he might be attributed with could be his self-deletion and that of his followers from the gene pool.
