That is sacrilegious!

No kidding. Especially since they were unblessed ones the local Catholic church decided to get rid of, and I just happened to be there at the right time.

For what purpose? She'd need a SuperSoaker and gallons for me

Apologies, Met...I have become rather horrid about straying off-topic.

No need to stay on topic; this is how conversations should go.

I wonder how holy water would taste mixed with blueberry stolis. I must find out.

Maybe so, but there's a lack of it in AK, donchaknow. Really irked me, because we had lots of newspapers which he was always taking to the dumpster. Newsprint would have worked just as well.

She had some weird fetish for blessing everything. It wasn't long afterwards that she told my wife & I that she was the only one that prayed in the house.
I wanted to kick her out after that, but it wasn't long afterwards that she needed specialized care that we couldn't provide. I guess God heard my prayers.
