I really like this response. I've tried a few attempts to engage you in some sort of witty dialogue, but I keep coming up with, "I really like this response."

I had a friend back in Minnesota (where I'm from, and oddly, also where I'm typing up this reply) who called himself an apathetic agnostic, and I thought that was pretty interesting. Eventually he started calling himself a militant apathetic agnostic, and refused to celebrate any holidays. It drove his family nuts, and eventually they convinced him to accept gifts on Christmas if they agreed to call it 'Capitolism'(am I using the right one? I can never tell if it's capitAlism, or capitOlism) day.
