Isn't Louis Theroux the bloke who did that "Weird Weekends" thing on BBC2 a
while back?  Seeing him playing acoustic guitar (sarcastically, if that's
possible) with a proselytising mission for The Family in some godforsaken
American town was a peach, it really was.  Not to mention the episode on the
porn industry.  Hi-larious.

Alright, I'm sold.  So how do you get hold of it, then, if it's not too much
trouble, O Idle Evangelists?

             ByeBye,

Twitch the blind and peep at the moon.
The big round moon like a piece of soap.
It washes the daylight out of your eyes
and fills them with night-time.
