A guy who made (well, part-made, part-ripped-off-the-code-for) a really popular MUD called Medievia has gone batshit insane and is calling himself a Warrior Priest now.

This is not a joke even though it reads like one.

[Link: pastebin.com...]

Some excerpts:

I may have time to be a park ranger someday, if not, so be it. For now I find that I am Mike, Vryce, God of Medievia, and I realized long ago what is wrong with the world. I know how to fix it. I wish someone else would do it. I am lazy. I would rather smoke a joint and watch a cool movie. I am no Jesus. I have no doubt that he was a better man than me in some ways and worse in others, just like you. I am not anything remarkable. I am a good man though and a smart man and I see a way to help, a way to be true to myself and my children.

It will take time. It will take 18 to 21 years is my prediction.

This year a Founder will have a child. That child will grow up with the Truth as guidance and with God as their soul, and the God Switch Turned ON their whole life. They will grow up and have a child of their own in 18 to 21 years or so.

Want more twists of the mixing of fiction and reality to come? This very email gets triggered by a founder for this email to be created and then this email will be shown word for word right in the Story - ‘When God told the other Gods his plan’. If you feel any of your insights in your responses to the two questions below would do the story well, let me know. Your words will become the Truth. I hope to include a few replies right on in there. People will read these very words I am typing now and know I told you that your words could be included a moment before reading me saying that they know right now, even as you know as much as they do at this moment in their past, yes I can drive you as mad as I am if you wish.

Morning, Lizards.

So, the long-awaited construction on our house began yesterday. They tore the roof off the house and wrapped the house in the biggest tarp I've ever seen. My house now looks like some depraved take on a Christo project.

I'm waiting for them to get here and tear the drywall and ceiling out of my living room prior to installing beams that will allow the second story to go up.

For some reason, my wife and I thought this was a good idea.

According to victims' rights advocates, with his past history of child abuse allegations, the former priest should not be working in such an inappropriate role. However, the TSA claims that Harkins merely handles baggage and is not regularly in contact with children.

As charges were never officially filed for the alleged sexual abuse crimes, the TSA did not pick this up in their criminal background check when Harkins was employed.
While the Camden Diocese has settled the cases of the first alleged victims, so far no resolution has been met with the additional case.

Done in the same style as Cloverfield. It's really eerie how a totally fictional story can seem so real. I wonder how many people truly believe?

Keeps the clothes on, the ceremony involves a good bit of beating, IIRC. Here is a beautiful example of an exorcist dance elevated to artistic levels.

re: #69 ggt

Just hearing about your brother makes me tired enough to go back to bed.

He's very active. Up about 6:30-7am, reads the paper, then goes out and feeds the chickens before starting on various chores. Goal is to be done by the time everyone else is up. Then breakfast and leisure activities the rest of the day.

Though I expect some exercise of the "manly arts" today or tomorrow depending on weather. He holds off on felling trees until I am visiting since he wants a spotter/helper with sufficient strength to be useful if there is a problem.

I see that the local Feline Overlords are up and about. His wife is very allergic to cats, so the three of them live in the wood shed. Comfy hay bales upstairs, fed once a day, and all the mice and chipmunks they can catch. Plus folk around for getting pets. I mainly see them lazing about in the grass or on the driveway. Though one plops down in the iris bed about 10' from the bird feeder. Jungle cat mode when he is lurking in there.

Our urban Korean friends bridged the two. They had a traditional wedding, in prescribed Han clothing, then changed into western white. A couple of my kids are included in the wedding photos of strange couples we would meet in the park--they were considered good luck, possibly for fertility.

We're heading into hellish temps again today--gotta go do some outside stuff.

For first time, gay students at US military academies participate openly in graduation, events

Gay students at America’s military service academies are wrapping up the first year when they no longer had to hide their sexual orientation, benefiting from the end of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that used to bar them from seemingly ordinary activities like taking their partners openly to graduation events.

For the first time, gay students at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis were able to take a same-sex date to the academy’s Ring Dance for third-year midshipmen. The U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., officially recognized a club for gay students this month. And gay cadets at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y., are relieved they no longer have to worry about revealing their sexuality.
