  1. My wife watched "The Righteous Gemstones" on HBO regularly. I'd watch it with her sometimes because it had a really good cast.

    She was watching a documentary about the criminal grifter Joel Osteen and family and I had no idea how much was a satire of those assholes who get so much wrong about Christianity and religion in general.

  2. Tried to cover up most identifiable details in this true story:

    Traffic police person stopped a person for speeding. They told the officer they were driving because their pastor, who was in the passenger seat, always drove too slowly. Driver got a ticket

    Two weeks later, the same Traffic police person stops someone else for speeding, recognizes the pastor in the passenger seat, and tells driver -- next time, your congregation should let the pastor drive.

  3. Years ago, I had this as the basis for my Master's thesis. And never finished my final dissertation because I discovered that the book "Whatever Happened to Sherlock Holmes" by Robert S. Paul in my bibliography covered everything that I had planned to write about. Also, I met my now spouse and deemed time with her more important.
