If you accept one from everyone who offers want to you, your bag will be completely full by the time your done with class.

Still I always liked those guys, they generally just passed out bible and were really friendly, instead of preaching/screaming at you like some of the other groups I have seen on campus or at tailgates.

I remember getting a book from them near Howe Hall explaining how the earth is only a few thousand years old and then another one explaining dinosaur bones. Funny stuff.

I understand what they are doing, and you are right some groups are very friendly to work with. But why would you even consider going into the student lot at a tailgate and be highly vocal and overly pushy.

Ahh, you can't beat those guys. Friendly and not at all preachy. Just trying to do good the best they way know. Now the crazy groups that show up at Parks Librarty in camo? Different story.

Are those the guys that show pictures of aborted fetuses that look more like italian food? Always seemed in poor taste to me.

And yeah, the Gideon's are pretty harmless. It's a little strange, but they aren't so in your face and obnoxious as other groups.

Yes - the aborted fetus picture showing groups is who I was talking about. Just dreadfull people...and I'm not the most pro choice guy around either.

I used to kick over Harleys at roadhouses. But you my friend are an artist, a visionary, and a vanguard. How long did take to muster the courage to go through with it?

I would guess it took me as much time as you have spent taking my actions to heart, and making sure to sarcastically ridicule me for them.

Lighten up and see the humor in things.

Yeah, the Gideons are respectful and friendly. It sounds like there are more out there than there used to be though.

Is that guy still on campus sometimes that said "You will buuurrrrrn in the firey pits of hell"?

Gideons aren't the guys to mess with. They're nice, I can respect what they are doing.

The ******** that have little children hand out the aborted fetus literature though... I was always tempted to swerve off the side walk with my bike and run them over. I was usually going at a pretty good clip too...
