(e:enknot), (e:jim) and I were standing on the corner of Main Street and Virginia next to the Scientologist building in Buffalo New York when some blond leggy scientology chick comes screaming at us - saying that she needs to talk with us about a stress test.
All of a sudden (e:enknot) busts out with "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM YOU YOUR CRAZY PSYCHO, YOU ARE A FREAK, YOU ARE A FREAK!!"
I love it when people get in the face of religious weirdos getting in their face. She started screaming back about how he was crazy or something. I am so sick of the way those Scientology freaks on Main Street in Buffalo, New York rule the sidewalks there. Anytime I have to walk down main street I have to cross the street to avoid being harassed by them in their big yellow tent. There is a picture of it at the Bush Protest from 2004 on the news journal from the protest (e:news,29822)
I think it should be illegal for them to set up on the street the way they do. Eventually, it is going to cause an accident when someone gets hit by a car trying to avoid them by crossing or walking in the street.
He is some info about their presence in Buffalo
What is the deal with all their crosses. At first I kind of assumed they were christians of some sort but then I read this
So what is the deal with the crosses? This is their official site with pictures of their building on Main Street in Buffalo New York
Apparently, they even harass children
All I can say is that like any religious group that is secretive and close knit - they scare the fuck out me like children of the corn
I think this letter is the best all just seems so whack
UPDATE - I found this later I is pretty interesting

Canal Fest Sunday For the FireworksCategory: festivals
On the way there we saw serenity shack. Ironically, it is right next to the war store.
Then we arrived at canal fest. I wish I had something good to say about canalfest.
The canal is so full of shit.
The zebra muscles love it, look how they cling to the shopping cart.
I missed the republican clams, lol.
I drank the lemonade and so did (e:mike) Afterwards I looked at the lemon in my drink, it was sick.
The ferris wheel looked cool at night.
Don't they look canaltastic.

yeah canal fest was pretty craptastic this year. Most of the stuff was closed when we went. But if I get a cookinggreasepickup.com endorsement deal out of then I guess it was all worth it....

Sure, it might sound ironic but I'm pretty sure Stayin' Alive is an AA group. Bullshit politics are probably not on their agenda.

I miss the days when rides like "Flying Bob's" played Heavy Metal. It just isn't the same with the old dance music being pumped in from satellite radio. When I was there they were playing a song by The KLF! Plus, the control booth for that ride needs bumper stickers from every "rock" station that the ride went through.
Ok, my little carnival reminiscing comment rant is over.

Home Repair on SundayCategory: housing
I made fish and clam soup for enegy. I am obsessed with clam based soups but (e:terry) hates how they smell.
We fixed the gutters. Well, we excised the bad part and started to replace it. The part that was rusted was so full of crap.
This hat made me feel like a raver again.
Repointing is time consuming and hard but it was nice to seal the bees outs of our walls.
It is especially hard to mix the color into the concrete.

What is emo?Category: people
Wow, I was so curious what emo after youtube insisted that I am interested in it based on watching this cartoon about a man with no skin, that was a link from (e:lilho)'s David the Gnome video.
So it looks like emo is the new gay? Buyt I totally thought some poeple I know who are defiantely not gay, were into emo - and now I am totally confused.
So I decided to search a bit and this is what I got from youtube.
"emo stands for emotional and refers to the clique of kids that are emotional and often wear eyeliner and black clothes."
"Someone who is whiny, sensitive, can't play the guitar, buys their clothing from thrift stores, and spends the vast majority of their life on Myspace. If you want a more politically correct definition, look it up on wikipedia."
"emo mean's "Emotion" for people who have emotion's and like the dark spirit.they also often cut themselve's for pain-relif.otherwise...i have no clue."
and then my favorite comment on this one
"@ first i wuz descusted whn i saw guys kissin each othr but thn i saw someone cal dem faggots.... dnt cal peeps faggots its nt very nice! the word is gay wht if someone called u a faggot? anyway sum animals sumtimes mate wit th same sex humans just happen 2 b one of thm!"
So what is it? I realize it meant emo music (WIKIPEDIA - Emo music)
but now does it mean gay?

metalpeter - 07/24/07 20:05
I will admit I'm not really into emo music or if I was I couldn't tell you cause I don't know what it is. EMO as you said is short for emotional. The next thing next is that you also have emo kids who dress emo what ever that is. The next part just becuase there are gays who are emo doesn't mean everyone who is emo is gay. It would be interesting to get the opinion of someone who listens to "emo" and knows more about it. I don't want to name any names on here but I think there are a few (e:peeps) who know a lot about music who could really explain it a lot better then I can.

Well if that song is emo, then I think emo-
1: sucks
and
2: means terrible haircuts on boys, with long pieces in front of the ears, and everything brushed forward from the back.

In respect to music at least, "emo" is one of those words that has turned out to mean absolutely nothing, kind of like "alternative" did in the 90s.

I never thought emo meant gay; I always kind of thought it meant 'insisting that it's badass to be a total pussy.' The Uncyclopedia :::link::: doesn't say anything about being gay, and the Uncyclopedia is always right.

The First Half Of The WeekendCategory: buffalo
On friday night (e:tinypliny) stopped by and we made indian food. It was quite delicious.
First we made the indian spice power. It was some powerful and pleasantly tasty stuff.
I didn't realize this pic of (e:tinypliny) in the kitchen came out so crappy. I guess we will need to take a better one next time.
Wow Chippewa is covered in gum stains. I never really noticed before. I guess people really just spit there gum out waitin gin line to go to Level and McMonkies.
I am so fascinated with this house on franklin. What happend to it? I mean what did it used to be. I wrote about it before but no one seems to have said anythign about its past. Like what are the chess tables from.
My other favorite house on Summer. They have faux slate asphalt roof.
I feel bad for the owner of this porch on Summer. It looks like it needs some serious help.
(e:matthew) and (e:terry) tried to fit through this alley on Franklin. It hate things you can't turn around in.
Neo is closing on Franklin. What the heck is gonna go there. I hope it becomes something and doesn't end up empty or yet another crappy antique shop. It would be terrible for Cafe 59 but if a Spot Coffee moved in there I think they would make a killing. Check out that car outside.
This is how (e:matthew) generally looks on the weekend.
I wanted to go to the beach today but they were closed for contamination, blah. It makes me sad that the beaches are always closed when I want to go. Then again it is better they are closed than if I got sick.
I was content with going to Zoar Valley but that was nixed too. We ended up going to Salsaritas. Ya exactly, it might as well have been lunch on monday. I really wanted to do something exercise filled and away from the city.
I hate weekends. If you think is hard to make up your mind what to do when you are single, or even in a two person relationship - just imagine how difficult it is with three people that all like completely different things. We usually just end up really mad at each other, go nowhere and don't have sex because we are angry about not deciding what to do.
Instead I thinking I am going to go to Home Depot and buy supplies so that I have something to do. I am thinking that filling the mortar gaps in the back might be fun!

Well untill you said you where lying about the not having sex thing. I was going to say that maybe a solution would be to go someplace to have sex. See because if the sex was the goal then where you went wouldn't really matter to much. But since you lied about that (your words not mine) then that might not be a problem but my idea still might be an ok one. I'm sure there must be some diplomatic way of deciding where to go. On another note I like that one house on Summer. When ever I see it I think it looks like it is out of a Movie about Knights or at least would be a cool place to have a sword fight on the lawn and porch.

That alleyway - whyyyyyyy?
As far as the house goes - have you thought about going to the Historical Society or somewhere to see if there are any records?
What a shame about that property - with a lot of work (and alot of money, lets be honest) I think you could make an amazing living space out of it.

Okay, I lied about the sex part.
Okay, I lied about the sex part.
They stalk people who criticize them as well. Scientology is a made up religion, bottom line. Its inherently dangerous. Oh, by the way, did you know that the "church" essentially has ranks of knowledge where the more you pay, the farther along you go? Some of this "knowledge" requires a $100k+ payment. No wonder celebrities love this garbage - their wealth and status allows for them to be seperated from the riff raff in ways that legitimate religions would NEVER consider.
Seriously, fuck Scientology.
well said (e:enknot), they are freak freak freaky - lukily there aren't many in the UK but they are in all the big cities now and they piss me off with their theta alien posession crap.
LOL. (e:Enknot) = Unexpected quotes + hilarity! I had the same woman come up to me when I was here, apartment hunting with my friend from Rochester. We thought it was awfully odd. But then, since no one else on main street looked like they had spare time to talk to us, we totally cashed in on the fact that she approached us and quizzed her thoroughly about the general safety, housing, groceries around all the neighbourhoods around Main St. I think we bored her so much that she inched away from us apologizing about lack of time or some such excuse. At one point, my friend and I almost chased her down one street and kept saying, "Ma'am, one last question."
i agree, they are freaks. can we put them in a bubble and send them out to space??? perhaps they can then find the rest of their kind.
As I drove (e:Jim) home he told me the story while we drove by the Scientology building. (e:enknot) is one hilarious gent.
She was telling us we should have respect for other people while at the same time accosting us.
