Handle with care.

For no apparent reason, I have been in a crappy, brittle mood all day. Just free-floating aggression, not at all helped by the Giants and 49ers stinking up their respective fields.

I almost feel sorry for the door-to-door theists just just walked into my kill zone. I hit them with everything. Biblical contradictions, their arguments from authority, a challenge to listen to my religion's point of view (Hail Eris!)

Needless to say, they were not happy campers when I finally unclamped my metaphorical jaws from around their throats and let them run away.

Do not mess with the Angry Penguin!

You jest, of course. I was supposed to listen in awe, since as a 40 year old man in the USA I had never been exposed to the concept of Christianity before, and immediately repent and give my brain over to Jesus.

Hearing about the Lady of Discord was not on their agenda

(grin) So they directly refused to listen to your nonsense, while their nonsense was supposed to be worth your time? Yeah, that sounds like typical door-to-door Jeebus salesman arrogance.

What flavor of stooge were they, anyway? Mormon? Jehovah's Witless?

Assembly of God. There's a church south of us that is evidently off the map as far as the looney factor.

I'd say then that you need to update their map, including the notation that your apartment falls into the Uncharted Territories, captioned with the warning: "Here Be Monsters."
