Very funny. I'll have to show that to my Dad who once warned me not to let a British foreign exchange friend of mine leave the house with "that old church-lady umbrella he's got there."
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

POST 2000! For my 2000th post, I wanted it to be something memorable. Actually, the funniest thought I had about it is to never post it--stop @ 1999. I realized, however, that would please some people to no end, so I quickly dismissed it. Before you watch the office-and-children inappropriate video, I have a related joke that my shrink told me this morning. A man wakes up in the hospital. The attending nurse explains to him that he's been in a very bad car accident and the doctor will be right in to speak to him about it. The doctor arrives and tells him he has some very bad news. "I'm afraid your penis was amputated in the crash." The man is horrified. "Wait, wait," said the doctor. "There is some great news. We now have the capability to reconstruct one for you. Even better, your insurnace will pay up to $9,000!" "Well how much is the surgery," the man asked. "$1000 per inch, replied the doctor. "I have to discuss this with my wife, as it's her decision as well." "I understand. Is two days enough time to decide." "I think so." Two days pass. The doctor goes to the man's room to pay him a visit and learn of the decision. "Well, have you and your wife had ample time to discuss this thoroughly?" "Yes, we have." "And what is your decision, then?" We've decided to go with granite coutertops. http://vimeo.com/17607134

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

ASH WEDNESDAY REMINDER
Do not forget to have a fey, robed man press his manicured-yet-besotted thumb against your forehead today, my Katholic Komrades.
As a kid, we all thought it was very cool and wore it as a badge of honor. Then again, we thought that casually munching on purloined hosts behind the rectory was cool, too.
I don't feel that way about Ash Wednesday anymore, now that I have a good idea just where some of those thumbs have been.
For lent, I think you should all give up the forum. That'll give GOD 40 days to really clean this place out.

I just watched the Evil Boy video. I didn't make it all the way through. Now I am going to have to watch season one of Little House on the Prairie to get my mind straight.
Who taught Bob how to post a link?

Catholic is 90% tradition. I don't follow much tradition.

Catch the church on a technicality and give up religion for Lent. You'll never go back .

Catholic is 90% tradition. I don't follow much tradition. All religion is heavily traditional. Religiously, nobody would believe the things they do unless people before them believed much of it, too. Most religions started as oral tradition, passed down from generation to generation.

Today, for Christians, the only sure thing they have for a guide is the bible. All else is tradition. You can say all matter of things against the bible, but that doesn't invalidate what makes up the Christian religion. So, it's either the bible and Christian, or it's nothing, in my thinking. So, either God left us with a guide book for these last days, or it's all bunk. Generally, those who choose "it's all bunk", have never devoted a large portion of their lives studying it. I could easily say the same thing about today's science, because I've not spent a large portion of my life studying it.
