Me: "How come you didn't like Spider-Man, anyway? I thought it was really good."

Him: "It was that green guy."

Me: "The Green Goblin? I thought they actually did a very good adaption of his character from the comic book. I never liked him as a villain in the comic book actually, I thought the movie version of the character was good though."

Him: "No, it wasn't that, it was because he was daemon possessed."

Me: (Blank stare) "Are we talking about the same movie here?"

Him: "You know, that part where he's talking to the thing."

Me: "What thing? You mean when he's talking to the helmet when it's on the chair?"

Him: "No, when he hears the voice from upstairs. That was a daemon."

Me: "What are you talking about? That was supposed to be him as well, his personality split when he took that super soldier serum, think of it as chemically-induced MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder).

Him: "That multiple thing is caused by daemons too, each of those personalities is actually just another daemon."

Me: (Retreats into silence, overwhelmed at the sheer idiocy of some people)

I am glad I told him not to go see The Hulk (which I actually enjoyed). :Q



That's how my in-laws are. My MIL talked my husband into burning his Lord of the Rings set when he was 19-20 because he might be demonically influenced by them. I know people (from my husband's past/family/church) who think going to see The Lord of the Rings in the theatres is potentially dangerous/sinful. Harry Potter, too. They HATE the fact that I let my kids watch Dragon Tales. Spell casting and such, big no-no's you know. :p

Oh yeah, and apparently, my inherited visual handicap is due to the sins of my forefathers. Oh yeah, and when a relative groped me while I was a guest sleeping in their house, it was because a demon in me BECKONED to him. But of course.

This is why I occasionally twitch involuntarily. Mostly I am OK but I spend a great deal of time trying to keep my husband safely here on 'the dark side' with me. :p So far, so good, but my biggest fear is that he'll rejoin the loonies.

<---will never, ever, ever let her kids be alone with those people.


LotR was written by a Catholic..I don't really think there's much demonic stuff in it..:p

Well, that works, there are several extreme right "christian" religions that believe all Catholics are going to Hell. ;)

so what happens to your boss when he sends an e-mail to the wrong address and he gets something back from mailer-daemon? does he freak out?

LMAO. "There's a daemon stealing my e-mail, I need a young priest and an old priest." :D:D

I haven't heard anything like that from him, so it probably hasn't happened. Perhaps I should tell him to send an e-mail to me, and give him an address that does not exist. :)
