(so do I have a posse, too? ...)

- Harnessing the power of "Internet", Andrew the [livejournal.com profile] sault and I did a little bit of research last night, and we found the beginning of the whole "X has a posse" (where X is "Luke Schenscher", or "Tony Danza" or...) meme. The first one was André the Giant Has a Posse, and it was a street meme. That meme has since metamorphized into OBEY GIANT, which is the group that produced the MORE MILITERRY LESS SKOOLS sign, which you may have seen over on 10th street within the past few months.

And that, my friends, is the sound of neurons finding other neurons and people going "Oh!"

(coincidentally, Mr. The Giant weighed approximately 3.25 times as much as me, and stood a full foot and a half taller)

- Okay, nuffa that. Work time!

Get ready: it's only four months, four days away!

In a move universally regarded as "fairly typical", on the 17th of March, 2000 anno domine, Governor George W. Bush signed the official memorandum designating June 10th as "Jesus Day" in Texas.

Here's that memo:

Anybody want to celebrate Jesus Day with me, when it comes 'round again?
