How in the frick did that post get so many down votes![]()
I challenged a lot of peoples' preconceived notions about the history of our country today. A lot of them didn't like it.

Minister and Rant Regular?
I never would think those two are compatible.
Believe this: it still puzzles me and his A&M buddies. None of us saw this coming and we're still recovering, 35 years later. I think it probably puzzles him as well. One of life's mysteries.

Have you considered the possibility that someone (perhaps even a rant-loving Lutheran minister) staged the ethereal voice from the heavens as part of an elaborate prank?
Eh... he's not smart/devious enough for that. And what would be the point, really? "Quit yer bitchin'" isn't exactly prank-worthy. "Obey your wife in all things"... now that would be a good prank.
The devious one across the hall from us... he'd definitely pull something like this. One day when I'm drunk enough I'll tell the tale of his best prank, which coincidentally was against me.

uh huh. I thought you might take this position. Clearly our business relationship is off to rocky start
Not at all, I'm merely trying to keep everything aboveboard. On the up and up. On the straight and narrow. Clean, clear and under control. Up, up and away. Follow the yellow brick road. Other random, cheerful phrases.

Don't forget.....and drink faster. Good prank stories are always entertaining.

You got me wound up, so here goes.
Prankster was a devious genius. Or successful criminal, take your pick. In our dorm the TV cable came into a central box, then to all the rooms on the floor, and he could manipulate the magic wires to do his bidding. He had excellent free porn in his room, even in '79.
One day I came back to my room after an especially grueling calculus exam that I had stayed up studying for all night, and crashed. I woke up to a porn movie blaring from our TV at max. volume with the windows open so that the entire Corps of Cadets was hearing what was going on in the room. He had stolen the TV remote and all the TV buttons so that I couldn't change the channel or adjust the volume. So, still groggy... leave the room and figure out what's going on, right? But the door opened to the inside and he had placed what is known in A&M Corps vernacular as a "frick stick" on the doorknob so that I couldn't get out. As luck would have it, though, we lived on the third floor of the dorm and if you were adventurous you could jump from a 3rd floor window onto the adjacent 1-story "Commons" building w/o breaking your legs, if you did it just right. So I leaned out the window preparing to jump... BOOOOSH. 55-gallon trash can full of water on my head, poured by our freshmen that he had stationed on the 4th floor waiting for me to do exactly what I did. And I'm still stuck in my room with porn being blasted from my TV, now completely soaked. (And yeah, I should have unplugged it. Devious bastard was counting on me being rattled enough not to think of that. And he was right.)
Great guy. Love him dearly. Still plotting my revenge.
