Jesus isn't just made of crackers, he's made of wheat crackers

The kids from South Park said it best:

Sister Anne: Now, let me explain how Communion works. The priest will give
you this round cracker, and he will say, "The Body of Christ," and then you eat it. 
Cartman: Jesus was made of crackers? 
Sister Anne: No. 
Stan: But crackers are his body. 
Sister Anne: Yes. 
Kenny: (What?!) 
Sister Anne: In the Book of Mark, Jesus distributed bread and said, "eat this, for it is my body." 
Cartman: So we won't go to hell as long as we eat crackers. 

But apparently those of us with celiac disease (and yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones) will go to hell. Because Jesus is, according to church doctrine, specifically made of wheat crackers. Just ask the Vatican.

'Scuse me. I'm gonna go watch some more TIVO-ed episodes of Bullshit until my head stops aching.

Readers

I'm getting the most surprising mail from old friends who read these pages. I had no idea.

Hi guys. Thanks for sticking around.

Forwarding Addresses

Spoke with Jason recently, and he mentioned wanting to resume blogging at some point. He's mostly doing his writing over on tribe.net, but if he starts a new blog I'll add a link to it here. You know you don't want to miss any Jason-rants.

Vocabulary, Continued..

Tenancy in Common, HOA fees, fractionally assumable mortgage.

It's time to find a real place to live. Not that I haven't been enjoying the Urban Bedouin lifestyle, but there's a permanent crease in my right shoulder from my laptop bag, and I'd like to wake up in the mornings knowing, with at least some certainty, where I am.

There's a building across the street from my first-ever apartment in SF. All the units are for sale, more-or-less in my price range. It's the Inner Sunset, a neighborhood I love. There's parking. There's also fog, and the really livable units would stretch my finances to their limit.

But it's something. A prototype. Possibility of home.

Today's Vocabulary

Dissolution, QDRO, reservation of jurisdiction, actuarial evaluation, deferred distribution. These, and more, will all be on the test.

Snerk. Under CA law, the only two reasons for a dissolution (that's Lawyer for "divorce") are "irreconcilable differences" and "incurable insanity". But they don't have an E-Z form for the incurably insane or anything. I checked.
