forsyth | The Road Trip

I forget whose idea it was to kidnap God. I remember exactly why we thought of it, though. Some network executive decided that damn "From a Distance..." song was a Christmas son, so it'd been on the radio no less than a dozen times that day. After the umpteenth time of hearing how God was watching us from a distance, and how we all looked the same, etc, we'd had it.

We climbed over the Pearly Gates about 5am. Is it really kidnapping if your victim's waiting for you with a packed duffel bag and waiting for to get going?

(That song's on one of the Christmas music CDs at work. It's only after hearing it a couple dozen times I listened to the lyrics and realized how creepy I actually find them.)
