I was treated intolerantly and kicked out of a fat guy clothing store by a crazy catholic store clerk for not caring that the Pope fell down.
Given that most people would care if even a stranger were assaulted and pushed to the ground, perhaps the clerk reasonably assumed you didn't care because it was a Catholic figure who was the target. In that case, he would be right in assuming YOU were intolerant - of Catholics. Well, at least people around you must be tolerant of fat people.

#173Kindle ;-)
Kindle 2 or DX ? Any idea how are the PDFs on Kindle 2 ?
Good news, its quite fast here in Mumbai and I am having fun. I mostly work on the go at coffee shops and I have always liked referencing a book more than the internet, and with kindle now i have my library on the go.

#175Andrey Tarkovsky's Sculpting in Time Milorad Pavic's Landscape Painted With Tea A signed and framed picture by Will Cullen Hart Herzog Zwei for my Sega Genesis Planescape Torment for PC Leadbelly collection A brick of soft lead (I need this for swaging).Someone found it and thought of me :) Just the coolest stuff this year. Enjoy your day :)
+1 for the tarkovsky. and the landscape. and the torment. Damn I want your presents! To stay on topic I got a Michal Palin book signed by himself! :)
But now that I've read a few chapters, I have to say that this book is a must own for anyone who loves Tarkovsky. It still may be the case that the translation sucks, but I am over it. I'm going to to go through each of his movies one-by-one again, and read his corresponding chapters.
I recommend this book.
