    It's a joke. You know the whole gingers have no souls and an all that? It's not serious. Very few people give a shit about gingers.

    I know, but I just think it's amusing that a UK prejudice, however minor, has harnessed the power of the internet to spread. People will always find someone else to hate...

    South Park did an episode on ginger bigotry. It has a history very much older than the Net.

    So what happened? Humans caught on, so the devil changed his signs of being possessed? Like, wearing clown makeup? Playing cribbage? Being Justin Bieber? o_O :superthink:

    We stopped hunting witches and started hunting squirrels - now being covered in grey fur is a bad sign

    Hah! Hunt all you want. We thrive! We abound! We are the opposite of an endangered species! We proliferate! We subdue continents with our numbers! You can't scare us!

    You are correct. It is literally the best thing. There's booze and you get to sing, what's not to like?

    I couldn't afford the booze, though. So I guess I didn't do it correctly!

    That's why you get drunk. And then you rock the place apart, and receive your high fives.

    Speaking of singing....
    I performed "God Bless America" at an awards banquet in front of 400 work friends, politicians (there was a senator there!), law enforcement, and the sheriff himself (who is my boss's boss's boss) and from what everyone is telling me, I sounded good. :) Yay! Been stressing out about that one for a week now.

    I used to live next door to a bar that held karaoke nights. Hitting the stage with friends and belting out Whiskey In the Jar was great, but no matter how wasted we were, listening to other punters sing evergreens was an assault to the ears. :dead:

    Summa summarum, karaokes are awesome only when I'm singing. :D

    Well obviously it's only fun when you get to sing. That's why you tolerate the tone deaf rubes ;)

    I think I know what I'm going to do with my novel. The story is like some sort of blurry image that is coming more and more into focus. It's not quite what I thought I was going to do. Hopefully, it's better. #novelwritingishard #publishthissh*t

    Also being left-handed was "using the devil's hand". It was called "cack handed" (which I learnt in 2016 is a hilarious name to highschool girls). In schools which were first run by the clergy, as a reliable group of literate scholars, they would often use painful methods to force it out of you.

    Sinister literally means left handed.

    I'm just saying.
