Two things. Pensacola is only <i>technically</i> in Florida. It&#039;s closer geographically and culturally to Alabama and Mississippi than it is to anything you&#039;d recognize as Florida-like.
And second, even for the deep south, this place is a hotbed of fundamentalist extremism. Pentacostals are the religious moderates here. Fanatics shout scripture into bullhorns at intersections here. My favorite local bumpersticker reads, &quot;IF IT AIN&#039;T KING JAMES IT AIN&#039;T BIBLE.&quot;
I envision enraged minimum-wage bakery-counter staff chasing their own customers with cake knives to confiscate their cell-phone photos. It&#039;s called Customer Service, foo!
Not to mention that the copyright on the cake makes it an infringement to create a copy of that cake, but the copyright on the photo of the cake doesn&#039;t belong to the store; it belongs to the photographer. Yay for unenforcible and incoherent copyright law, brought to you by the free market and Rep. Sonny Bono (R-Tree).
You mean &quot;Jeroboam&quot;, &quot;Rehoboam&quot;, and &quot;Jesus Fucking Christ, that&#039;s a big motherfucking bottle&quot;?
For more historical fun, don&#39;t miss Christopher Buckley&#39;s front-page review of a new doorstop tome about Joe Kennedy, in which you can learn how JPK&#39;s virulent antisemitism led him to wish Hitler had won the Battle of Britain.
What about Freud, Marx and Einstein, those three Jews who ruined everything? Honestly, you&#039;d think editors of this book didn&#039;t rally understand what made the 20th Century the bloodiest and most awesomely uncertain century of all!
BTW: did the entire NYT crossword today, with no Googling or other intellectual prostheses. Here&#039;s a hint: 115 Across is &quot;saucier.&quot;

*ID now takes exception to a certain four-letter word promoted by Country Joe. Either that, or it doesn&#039;t like the abbreviation &quot;&#039;em&quot;.
And yet the good Lutheran and Catholic soldiers of Herr Hitler&#039;s armies were bravely fighting Godless, atheistic communism. How could they possibly have been defeated? And how was it that the greatest battles of Dubya-Dubya Two were fought on the Eastern Front? And that it was old Joe Stalin who defeated Fascism, not Patton and Eisenhower?
Oh, sorry, I forgot we&#039;re not supposed to say that.

That&#039;s the weirdest tabs I&#039;ve ever seen.
Not enuff APCs

For those involved, it was pretty dire.
Apparently, Frieda Frozentwat ((c) EQ 2012)
And now you know ....... teh REST of the story.

Lord Vetinari?
I see what you did with your tense and part of speech modification there.

Because the writing didn&#039;t treat the viewers like they were 7, and on Thorazine.

Well, that little tidbit sure sucks the stained glass out of the windows.
