Crazy But True
 
Thirty-fifth Street. Home Sweet Home. Mosquito population...zero.

In an attempt to swell the ranks of God fearing, beer swilling, football watching, church skipping Englishmen, the CoE (Church of England) has purchased a pub in Northern England - The Cock and Bottle snicker, snicker.

I find this a bit disturbing and think that not only should there be a separation of Church and State, but of Church and alcohol. I don't trust them bible thumpers when it comes to my favorite drug. They probably water it down with holy water or something. Maybe they even bless the wine in a box. Ugh. No thanks.

Still I'd have to be awful drunk to fall for that whole "convert me when I am drunk" routine. Drunk to the point of driving the Porcelain Bus - if you know what I mean. "Yes God - I'll go to church next Sunday if only you'll help me make it through the night."
