| Introduction | I am a WASC (White Anglo-Saxon Catholic) raised Methodist who departed from Christianity in College but who also returned through a series of eucatastrophies before graduating undergrad. I attended a school of ministry and while there began studying the Church Fathers which led first to the Episcopal Church and ultimately in my Third Year of Law School to Reception into the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ upon the Rock St. Peter. I am married to wonderful Irish/Welsh Lass who is without a doubt my better half. Currently I work as a Prosecutor in one of the larger judicial districts of Alabama. Like any good Southernor I love S.E.C. College Football (War Eagle), B.B.Q., Shrimp & Cheese Grits (alone or served together), Fried Catfish and Hushpuppies, Cold Beer, and share a general distrust of the Federal Government. |

If you were a pirate, how would you avoid laughing when saying "poop deck"?
I wouldn't. I would giggle like a mad-man but kill anyone who tried to laugh at my little joke.
