 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/1&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Pony Cabal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;cabal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Well, what happened was I happened to ACCIDENTALLY make a little too much eye-contact while passing his table, and he proceeded to try and sell me some of the Scientology books - the dictionary of spelling, or some such nonsense. I listened politely (big mistake!), but kept saying, &amp;quot;Well, no, I wouldn't really be able to use these, I already speak English&amp;quot; - &amp;quot;Oh, but they help with teaching OTHER people English! You're a mother, right?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;...no?&amp;quot; And so on. And so I finally said, hey, money's short, I gotta be moving on, thanks for the info anyway, and I skedaddled. Later, when I passed his table (not hard to do, in such a small hall) with a bag of merch, he singled me out from the crowd to question my choice of purchase. &amp;quot;Oh, I thought you said you didn't have any money? So how did you buy all of that?&amp;quot; As if, you know, NOT buying his cult's books was some kind of personal insult. Also, he smelled and looked like he hadn't bathed in days; definitely unsettling.</html>
