Thread Name: BS: BC.............BCE!!!
Subject: RE: BS: BC.............BCE!!!
Like James Kunen, I find that most issues fall into two categories......."Mildly Amusing" and "Pain in the Ass." This one barely made the first for me awhile back but now has fallen quickly into the latter.

I live here in Bumpkinland and not one person in 200 would have any idea what the hell this was all about and if they did would attribute it to a Communist plot or Obama. I can't even think back to the last time either here at the 'Cat or in 3D where I had the occasion to say anything besides "Twenty-Eleven" unless it was "Twenty-SomethingElse"............

On the other hand, I would use it happily just to piss off a few folks but like a joke you have to explain, there's no point. When you make some wonderfully disparaging remark about religion that no one gets, it takes all the fun out of it..........except the part where the fun is having a laugh because they DON'T get it!
