Outside The Big Top

Imagine having his job. A metaphor in the making.



The deal is, where ever I go places in Canterbury and locals see my badge or hear my accent and ask what I'm doing here and I tell them about the conference, I consistently get the same blank stare - as though I am talking about attending a Star Trek Convention.

Yes, there are interesting costumes - okay, let's say cincture (and it's not a procedure you get a nail salon) - and there are times when it feels like we are Lost in Space, but frankly, Star Trek Conventions are fun-er. I mean, at least at Star Trek Conventions everyone worships the same thing.

Wonderful analogy, a Star Trek Convention! We don't need a Joshua to encircle and march around the Lambeth enclosure seven times then shout and bring down this House of Cards, the ones inside the fence are doing a fine job themselves. A Star Trek Convention, I love it!

After reading about the ambush at the joint session today, a Star Trek Convention would be preferable to what this alleged gathering of Christian leaders has sadly turned out to be. bigjimintx from Stand Firm

Never did "Shore Leave," but as a veteran of Disclave, Balticon, Philcon, Evecon, Castlecan and others ...

Yeah ...sounds about right.
