Haha! I like that interpretation even better, thank you! :D

I wonder if Jordi will ever suspect that the Angel of Sharks struck a quiet deal with a mid-level demon in The Media to give his Word a little extra Essence for one week a year?

If Sharknado didn't tip off Jordi, nothing will...

I heard the latest shark week's complete disregard for sensible science and hoax faux documentary is even worse.
Sharknado might work to defuse anti-shark hysteria by mocking the irrational monster fears.

To be honest, I can't interprete it well, since I don't have enough time, but I just read about Roy Sullivan - and his story just begs to be given an In Nomine spin...

What do you think? What did he do to displease Jean that much - or at all? Did Jean and David work together to show people how strong humans can be, even if faced with raw forces of nature?

I'm wondering...

Are you sure he wasn't a Jeanite with an interesting Rite?

Of course, a GM with a cartoon sense of humor might decide that Mr. Sullivan had rolled several Interventions that merited a heavenly "warning shot."

Colorado castle is one man's hand-built monument to freedom

"No one will ever control this castle but me," he said.

Does this disqualify it as a Tether to Stone?

It's also an enormous Gothic soap box to spout his strident anti-government views to tens of thousands of visitors each year. Signs everywhere point to the perfidy of federal authority. "There ain't a dime's worth of difference between a Democrat, Republican and Marxist," says one.

The Internal Revenue Service, the United Nations and law enforcement are frequent targets for tirades. His battles with the Forest Service over road access and parking helped fuel some of this hostility. And if visitors flinch, he's quick to tell them that admission is free and so is leaving.

[...]

Merrill, who could not be reached for comment, has a long history of litigation. After his motor scooter was seized for expired plates, he sued the UN, the Colorado Springs police chief, the ancient Jewish high court known as the Sanhedrin and Jesus Christ.

A Tether to Freedom, or Factions?

Last February, at a time when Bishop says he was "not sound of mind," then-friend David Merrill asked him to sign an agreement making him a trustee of the castle. Merrill immediately claimed he owned the place and renamed it "Castle Church for the Redemption of the Office Bishop."

A takeover attempt by The Game, or Theft?

"Right now his body is his castle," his wife said. "That's our priority."

Bishop is trying to beat his cancer with an alkaline diet.

"Cancer cannot survive in a high-alkaline environment," he says repeatedly.

He swigged a concoction of lemon juice, spring water and stevia. Then he drank the olive oil inside a can of sardines. He finished with Fig Newtons and peanut butter eaten from the jar with a spoon.

"The doctors are starting the use the words 'benign' and 'miraculous' when I see them now," he said.

Someone is around with the Corporeal Song of Healing, anyway.

Well, he isn't obviously considering who should own it after his death. That isn't very Stone, which does tend to consider the long term. But the whole thing seems more like crazed Creation to me.
