Has anyone here read The End of Faith by Sam Harris? Any comments from the Flat Earth Society? Members of The Inquisition? Others? Unless you're arnie, you'll want your dictionary handy!

I haven't read it, Asa, but maybe I should; it might help me with the bluffing game!

Congrats on 8000 posts Kalleh. I'm over 10K on RealBeer.com. Sorry to hijack this thread. Carry on.

Well, Chaz, even I hadn't notice that! Thank you! I suppose the midwest is losing to the middle atlantic over there on real beer. Oh well, I tried!

I have been busy, but I must go over and visit you guys.

I hope you'll have time to stop over and Richard too. Happy holidays to you all.
(And the Mid-Atlantic is crushing the Mid West )

I just posted a message on Realbeer, and I will be back again. Life has been busy and full of surprises lately. Richard has been very busy, too, moving and all.

For the Wordcrafters, Chaz is Richard's and my friend from Realbeer.com.

Do I detect a source of material for posts, or for the bluffing game?

Perhaps. Some of his language is esoteric but not to the point of great rarity. Philosophers and religious scholars will know his words, but his use of language is often delicious. Read it and see fer yerseff! (He manages to offend pretty near the whole of humankind, BTW!)

Did you catch the interview he gave on CSpan2 last Sunday? It was truly marvelous.

Since we can't afford cable or satellite right now, we have neither. Maybe I can get a transcript. Thanks for the heads-up!
