I'm eagerly awaiting for Eli to discover that in addition to r/dogfree, there is also r/catfree.

smh. Kids today go out for everything. All you need for a coffee enema is a $22 bag and a pot of warm coffee. It’s not an interstate travel thing.

I vote for buddy enemas!

The Kent Hovind spark plug story caused me to spit water all over my steering wheel.

Claudia

Of all the questions to ask Anna that start with “Is it hard for you that Eli ….” My instinct would not be to fill the blank with “is an atheist”. But it is one of the funniest.

Wendy

I love you all.

That’s more or less what they’re doing. I recommend checking out Knowledge Fight, they consulted on the case in Texas, and Mark Bankston did a few interviews on their podcast. It’s a great listen, but fair warning their episodes are often as long as 3 hours. Apparently untangling the web of his finances has been both a pain in the ass and laughably easy because he understands the idea of hiding your money in a bunch of different shell corporations and trusts, but doesn’t understand that naming those companies and trusts after yourself defeats the purpose.

Fun fact: Bryan Texas is right next to College Station, home of Texas A&M (the famous Aggies)

Heath - you have probably already finished your citation needed on Kent Hovind but you can find his ‘dissertation’ online - it is as glorious as you think - if I remember right the first sentence is his statement of faith and then he completely fucks up history starting with the Persians - but it’s ok because there are no references …

If I were the attorneys for Jones' creditors, I'd use some of that $1.5B to make sure there's a PI following him every step for the rest of his life looking for hidden assets.
