Just out of curiosity Nathan, have you ever seen anyone with any of these at church? None strike me as very New England WASP, even in Amherst:
-Plugs/gauges
I don't know what these are, so no.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
Yes, but not common.
Yes, but VERY uncommon. There's I think one guy who is or once was a long-haul trucker at our church.
Not that I know of.
Not that I would ever actually have seen, but I suppose it's possible that such might exist.
Huh. I wasn't aware that was a thing, but I'm not necessarily surprised.

Church is different from a Christian hardcore show because the altar is an axis mundi and the priest is ceremonially marrying Heaven to Earth and Christ to the Church.
