My services are available to any interested bidder. It seems the team I root for is guaranteed to lose. So send me the team you want me to root for (the one playing against your team) and a check for a done deal.

I talked about phobias yesterday, (in the context of fearing death and judgment) how inventing and naming phobias has become something of a word game. Inspired by the plethora of unofficial phobias I composed a list of common church phobias.

ATTENDAPHOBIA (The fear of going to church)
FLANNELBOARDAPHOBIA (The fear of teaching a kid’s class)
HYMNOPHOBIA (The fear of singing)
LONGWINDEDAPHOBIA (The fear of long sermons)
PRESBUTEROPHOBIA (The fear of elders)
BUDGETSUNDAYPHOBIA (The fear of budget Sunday)
LEFTHANDKNOWSWHATRIGHTHANDISDOINGAPHOBIA (The fear of giving)

Please feel free to add your own.
