You know, I’m a bit out of the blogospheric loop, but I really hadn’t heard of Balloon Juice before E.D. went there and I’m finding it pretty amusing overall.
This comment also reminds me of a photo I took last week in West Edmonton Mall “The world’s largest mall” (if you don’t count any in Asia), of a inter-mall chapel called “Marketplace Chapel”. The t in Marketplace was a cross, of course. It just seemed so perfect somehow.Report
