And you call yourself a true blooded American woman? Shame on you.
At least three hand guns, a over and under shotgun and a snipers rifle
are the minimum requirements.

Well it is more up to /me/ to thank Thomas for the follow-up!
Since the overall website navigation is menu-based, a link usually leads to a
page with related stuff.
These readings are very generic, and in any case, you are not actually required
to enter your real personal data, so why would you care. Even the email address
is not necessary, though you have to supply one for technical reasons (any a@b.c
is fine).
When it comes to enter some credit card information however, then of course, you
are no longer as anonymous.

On a serious note indeed: I want to ask everybody who wants to join to
*read* those documents first with care! I agree with Stephen.

I remember being told that the end days were nigh. When the Euro was
launched. I got quotes out of Revelations to prove it, as well.

It is a clip from a Tony Hawks (the guy who hitchhiked around Ireland
with a fridge) Christmas program where he costed all the gifts in the 12
days of Christmas carol. He even got Ten Lords* a Leaping from the house
of Lords.
* A bit of a cheat as two of them were Ladies. ;)
