#33, I second what #58 says about throwing shoes at newlyweds. Re: #89, the whole throwing shoes thing is actually documented separately from attaching them to the car itself. Buster Keaton's famous short film "One Week" (1920) opens with newlyweds leaving the church and having shoes thrown at them. If I remember correctly, no shoes are attached to the car, leading Keaton fans to debate endlessly whether the car-attachment custom evolved from shoe-throwing, or whether the evolved separately.
You know, I thought I was cynical enough that no shameful American act could surprise me, but no. This was actually shocking. I figured that when faced with real flesh and blood persons instead of an amorphous group of "Atheists" or "non-Christians," these people would surely behave humanely. Instead they're confusing "majority rule" with "mob rule," and we know how smart and humane mobs are.
Aw no. I am sure you will miss him terribly. Having little creatures around is so wonderful, and it's a double blessing when you can share your creative space with them. My rats live in my "studio," and when I used to actually make stuff in there, it was wonderful to be able to stop, pet a rat, and gather my thoughts when I was stuck on a design.
