We’re looking at some new directions with Upstream. I think this could be just the trick to get more people into church… Their product range is quite unique and their whole ethos a real winner!
Thanks to Grendel who discovers this stuff…
(How?… Yeah – that’s what i thought too!)
Next – the correlation using your Butler demographics stats. . .
I personally think the crotchless pantaloons are a sales winner.
what the ??
Where’d they get this stuff, a period drama costume shop?
Yeah … um … yeah …
… methinks Grendel dost require less coffee. Forsooth, it must be why he’d be up till all hours reading about crotchless pantaloons …
… oh, and glad you’re back Hamo 🙂
this is beyond that – – it’s creepy that this comes on the heels of a conversation I had online recently with someone who believes it’s ok for a man to “discipline” his wife as long as the wife “consents”. She was talking about a man hitting his wife for misbehavior.

Well, if it requires ‘aftercare’ then is smacks of self-justified abuse.
Ok – I honestly did not SEE that very very naughty pun until AFTER I hit “Say it”.
That is a horrifying website. It’s justifying spousal abuse in God’s name … did you read the chapter titles of the book? Or the description? Just the cover art alone is revolting … it shows a man slapping his open palm with the back of a hairbrush. Worst of all … it’s written by a woman!
It’s very similar to a class I sat in one time, thinking I was going to get some helpful classroom discipline tips for teaching Sunday School … instead the teacher talked on and on about the most effective tools for beating children … a leather strap that was so long by so wide by so thick.
