Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Buy, buy Miss American Pie…
Blog Guy, do you have a personal guiding philosophy of life? You know, three or four words that express your world view?
It’s funny you should ask. I didn’t until today, but now I do, thanks to the cover of a catalog that came in the mail.
Wow! What did it say? What is this new moral compass that guides your spiritual essence?
“Pie…the Perfect Gift.”
That’s it? Pie…the Perfect Gift?
Yep. I was like blown away by the truth and wisdom of it. It’s so zen. Who doesn’t want the gift of pie? Be they Democrat or Republican, be it fruit or cream or custard, key lime, lemon meringue, chocolate….
Today’s reading is from Shooteronomy
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written about any new signs of that onrushing Apocalypse, so I foolishly thought things might be getting better.
Let’s see here. Roman Catholic bishops in Wisconsin are urging their parishioners not to bring weapons TO CHURCH, now that a new law permits state residents to carry concealed firearms and electric weapons such as stun guns or tasers.
Uh-oh. Does it SOUND like it’s getting better?
I mean, states have been competing to pass the nuttiest weapons laws recently. There was the Florida law limiting what doctors can say to their patients about guns, and both Utah and Arizona voted to create official state firearms.
Maine lawmakers voted to legalize switchblade knives, but only for one-armed residents, while Ohio approved a law allowing folks to carry guns into bars.
But here’s the kicker in Wisconsin. Bishops are urging people not to bring weapons, but they say the decision on whether to ban weapons is up to individual churches.
Ok ok.. you guys are way more than nutty..
As for the taser in church, I wouldnt mind them teaching.
I dont mind religion unless it starts interfering with my life.
This train is bound for glory, this train
Whoa! Did you see that, Clancy? Looked like Pope Benedict on that train that just went by!
Nah, it couldn’t have been, Lamar.That’s an express and the Pope takes the local.
Couldn’t he take the express and change to the local at 72nd Street?
Yeah, I guess that would work. Maybe he’s running late this morning, or he’s got a sales call before he hits the office.
I seen him once on the F Train. Real friendly guy.
@Nosmo, hey I see where you went with that one! Well done! 
Oh so that’s a window and those are real people Pope is waving to in the second pic? Looked like a TV screen to me. Thought he was watching a re-run of Real Worshipers of Vatican City.
Why are you still yammering?
Okay, I have a serious bone to pick with the news media.
It is being widely reported that the evangelical Christian broadcaster whose Judgment Day prophecy went embarrassingly unfulfilled on Saturday has explained that he miscalculated, and the actual Apocalypse will happen later.
So my question is, why are we even still quoting this man? Why are we spreading his hogwash?
In my book, he’s moved to the very, very bottom of the list, under every other person on earth, when it comes to credibility about Apocalypses, yet here we are running stories about his newest prediction.
Really? How many chances does he GET?
Nice Article. I find amazing about this is how utterly stupid so many people were. Out of curiosity, weeks ago I looked at Camping’s Biblical evidence to support his prediction.

Six ways I know the world isn’t ending
Okay, everybody I know has asked me about these nutjobs who say a huge earthquake will shake the world today, sweeping true believers to heaven and leaving others behind to be engulfed in the earth’s destruction over a few months.
It isn’t happening, trust me, and here are the six ways I know that for a fact:
6. My DVR is still letting me record “The Borgias” tomorrow evening.
5. That broadcaster who is predicting this rapture thing owes me money, and this is just his sneaky way of getting out of it. True believer, my big butt!
4. Regular readers know I archive my own signs of the Apocalypse, and I’m not done yet.
3. Open your eyes. You can still leave comments on my blog, can’t you?
Have yourself a chocolate little Easter…
Blog Guy, I thought maybe you could run some photos to help get us in the mood for Easter tomorrow.
Sure. Now up here at the top, a guy is spreading chocolate to make Easter treats in…
Excuse me, Blog Guy, but that’s just the commercial side of Easter. How about the religious aspect?
Oh, of course. Here are some photo captions from our file, and you just tell me which shots you want to see:
* Penitents hang on crosses as they are crucified during Good Friday Lenten rites in…
* A three-inch custom made stainless steel nail is hammered into the hand of a penitent…
Thanks JC, didnt see any swans.. at all.. guess they were munching on some chocolates somewhere… 
Possibly human shaped ones…
I couldn’t pick out that guy in a line-up!
Blog Guy, my favorite actor is Antonio Banderas. He is SO dreamy! I love him! Can you please, please run a photo of him in your blog for all his fans?
Sure, my pleasure. Here he is in Málaga, Spain, a couple of days ago for Holy Week. Enjoy.
Um, I hate to complain Blog Guy, but all I can see is his eyes and hair.
That’s not true. You do also get to see his finger. Look, here on the left is another shot you may enjoy more.
But there’s a microphone in front of his mouth, and he only takes up a tiny portion of the shot.
Yes, that is to symbolize how small man is compared with the majesty of Holy Week.
Now u see Nosmo,… I know which animated movies to see and which NOT too…
No booty here, and that’s the gospel!
Check it out. A new edition of the Bible, available tomorrow, is replacing words such as “booty” and “holocaust” to “better reflect modern understanding.”
I am not making this up.
“Holocaust” is being changed to “burnt offerings,” so that readers who are easily confused won’t think the Bible is talking about the 1940s Holocaust.
Among other changes, the word “booty,” which now has a sexual connotation, will become “spoils of war.”
Our FaithWorld Blog says this new edition is the outcome of a 17-year project by a committee. I like to think it took so long because the committee got really carried away making endless lists of other words for “booty.”
But what our story doesn’t reveal is that this is just the first wave of updates.
No points for “Mrs. Paul”, “fish”, “sticks”?
Maybe the meaning changes across generations…

reminds me of my favorite song from Sweeny Todd:
LOVETT: Here we are, now! Hot out of the oven!
TODD: What is that?
LOVETT: It’s priest. Have a little priest.
TODD: Is it really good?
LOVETT: Sir, it’s too good, at least! Then again, they don’t commit sins of the flesh, So it’s pretty fresh.
TODD: Awful lot of fat.
LOVETT: Only where it sat.
TODD: Haven’t you got poet, or something like that?
LOVETT: No, y’see, the trouble with poet is ‘Ow do you know it’s deceased? Try the priest!
TODD: (spoken) Heavenly! Not as hearty as bishop, perhaps, but then again, not as bland as curate, either!
LOVETT: And good for business, too — always leaves you wantin’ more! Trouble is, we only get it on Sundays!
Lawyer’s rather nice.
TODD: If it’s for a price.
LOVETT: Order something else, though, to follow, Since no one should swallow it twice!
TODD: Anything that’s lean.
LOVETT: Well, then, if you’re British and loyal, You might enjoy Royal Marine! Anyway, it’s clean.
Though of course, it tastes of wherever it’s been!
TODD: Is that squire, on the fire?
LOVETT: Mercy no, sir, look closer, You’ll notice it’s grocer!
TODD: Looks thicker, More like vicar!
LOVETT: No, it has to be grocer — It’s green!
