I know I'm not American, but can I play?

(I think I've got the hang of the rules now; it's a bit like 'Blankety Blank' that used to be on British television many years ago.)

Anyway, if I'm allowed to play... cup.

Well heck, I'm not in the running on this, sooo.....

Our dear friend Jack T. Chick has a new pamphlet out today. Instead of his usual targets, like the Catholics and Evolutionists, he’s started to pick on the evil pagan company that produces the paper upon which Chick Tracts are printed.

Appreciate my weird sense of humor. I'm on weird medication this week, and haven't slept for like 4 days. Things are getting a little wacky.
