My wife, Melinda Ann Smith, is now an ordained minister of the Church of the Subgenius. Since she started posting her thoughts to alt.slack, confusing some and amazing others, she also managed to get a message from THE Rev. Ivan Stang personally welcoming her to the church that he founded.

This makes me even more proud than the day she suggested that we should buy Dawn of the Dead and Land of the Dead. Not me begging her, mind you, but Melinda actively wanted to get it. (Okay, mitigating factor, she just thinks the animatronic old lady zombie in the first two minutes of Land of the Dead looks so sad and pretty and sympathetic. She likes zombie flicks where you have to sympathize with a few of the undead, like Big Daddy in Land and Bub in Day of the Dead.)
