wedthersday!

Thersday!

You better go to confession after writing this! You are making Baby Jesus cry with your swearing.

Seriously.

Have you met Baby Jesus? He’s quite the crier. His dad cuts our lawn.

I wonder where Chuck Norris comes down on torture?

Church has been replaced by the NFL and Sunday commerce.

It IS a shame that spirituality has been devalued so much and.. CHICAGO WINS THE STANLEY CUP!!! WHOOO!!!!

hahaha hey spocko

Conquering isn’t all he kneels for. IOW, he sucks.

Chuck Norris is a fifth-rate theologian whose pathetic attempts at proselytizing would make the Holy Spirit do a facepalm…if he had a face.

White Jesus approves of your omission of pointing out racism in Republiterian Jesustan. That would be so not fair. Also.

thers can’t be joining us tonight — ya’ll are stuck with me trying to fill his shoes

Hey Thers, I am not sure what u are getting at. Maybe if you put in simpler language? S/ :>

Snark and run.. not even a good night kiss

Well, what size are your feet and what size are his shoes?

Therzanne!

hahaha sounds like it could be a condition or a prescription

LOL

I wonder how he feels about his ‘sidekick’ going Thetan…

Dunno if they’re big shoes to fill but they’re pretty tall.

The FDL version of Tarzan, a real swinger through the jungle.

Thers!
I never was a huge Chuck Norris fan but like Mel Gibson, Gary Sinise, Ahhhnold and several others, I can no longer watch movies that I once enjoyed because they have all, in their own ways, embraced the batsh*t crazy.

Here’s a pic of Thers’ casual kicks.

They would be good for walking through puddles.

I must be able to smell a right-wing and/or religious kook pretty well, ’cause I never had much use for any of ‘em.

:(

It’s easy to boycott Chuck, since all his movies suck. I don’t think I’ve seen any Mel Gibson movie since Lethal Weapon, which struck me as vastly overrated.

I didn’t care for Road Warrior when I saw it originally but I watched it on WGN tonight and it actually kind of enjoyed it.

chucks favorite facts

Other than Sinise, me either. Still I was a fan of the Mad Max and Terminator movies. Or I was a fan of the first Terminator and the Road Warrior at least. As for Chuck, I could take him or leave him but now I can’t stomach him.

Funny, Kevin Costner was once considered to be a conservative actor. Not so much anymore.

I just used edit to update the link and it works now, for me anyway. I’ll post it below too.

casual kicks

Well, he’s certainly conservative in terms of acting ability.

Except for the greatest movie of all time, Waterworld. /s

Wingers like Dennis Miller, Jay Leno, Victoria Jackson and Drew Carey on the other hand were always nauseating. What is it about conservatives and comedy? None of them are funny. Ever.

True.

God, I miss George Carlin.

I have a friend who is a huge fan of Costner but to be honest, I never saw anything that he did that wasn’t stupid or mind numbingly boring in my opinion.

I thought Kelsey Grammer was good in Frasier, despite being Republican. Not so much since then…

me too :(

Yep. Another wonderful liberal who told it like itn is but died young was Frank Zappa. He would have shocked Bill Maher.

The Untouchables was bearable, albeit over the top.

Chuck has made so much fuckin money He has to feel God is on His side.

Makin money doesn’t mean people have brains all the time, and money doesn’t make their religious beliefs any smarter.

Look who dear Chucky was backing in the last Presidential Election. God didn’t help his candidate, and his candidate being the religious didn’t make people vote for Him.

Put Yourself in Gods shoes. and look down at these people who claim to be so religious, and then ask yourself what would I as God think of these bungling ididots.

Frank was so much brighter, Maher would never have been able to keep up. I like him, he’s just a teensy bit slow.

I recall Maher after having read Mia Farrow’s revenge book, railing against the evil Woody Allen in consecutive episodes of Politically Incorrect. Uh gee, Bill, you don’t think maybe she has an axe to grind and you should take it with a grain of salt..?

Kelsey Grammer is a Republican but I haven’t heard that he went the full wingnut. Who was that woman who played Ray Romano’s wife? I never could watch that show despite having two of my favorites, Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts because of her. I’ll never forgive her for that.

I suspect you need empathy to do comedy. And a sense of proportion.
And a willingness to be on the losing side every so often.

The Untouchables was bearable, albeit over the top.

I had given up on Costner by then and you’re right about Zappa. Maher wouldn’t make a mole on Zappa’s butt.

zappa

I suspect you need empathy to do comedy. And a sense of proportion.
And a willingness to be on the losing side every so often.

All valid points!

And you need to have the ability to laugh at yourself. Not too many wingnuts can do that.

Gosh, I felt so vindicated for hating Disco when Zappa came out with Dancin’ Fool.

THERSday!

Churches (especially the talibangelical variety) are loosing membership in part because they are so staggeringly anti-Christian.

I saw Zappa in ’80, ’81 and three times in ’84. For some reason I stupidly passed on the opportunity to see him in ’88 which turned out to be the best band he had fielded in 20 years and alas, his final tour.

Yeshua bar-Yosef on the other hand has some issues with that.

“I don’t know much about dancin’, that’s why I got this song. One of my legs is shorter than the other and both of my feet’s too long.”

Almost like he wrote it about me…

Dood! Use the edit feature before I completely loose it! “g”

OT – For Cat owners:
CINCINNATI, June 9, 2010 – The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) (NYSE:PG) is voluntarily recalling specific lots of its Iams canned cat food in North America as a precautionary measure.

Link for more information

LMAO! I hated the whole scene. Crowded rooms, too loud music that was nothing but beat, airheaded cokeheads, feathered hair to go with feathered brains, plasticine platform shoes….

Something Chuck Norris will never figure out–after all, how much can you expect from a “man” whose movie career is largely made up of shooting ethnic stereotypes?

Chuck’s numbers and math don’t add up in Texas Schools.

He’s out of touch with his inner redneck savant.

Great read Thers.

Why do you hate me? :)

Patricia Heaton. Didn’t she do an anti stem cell PSA to counter Michael J. Fox’ ad for Claire McCaskill?

Now Kelly, I realize that as a gay man, it’s in your union contract to love Disco but I can hate the scene without despising the participants. :)

But it is true. What about that “let him who is without sin cast the first stone,” “judge not lest ye be judged,” “render unto God that which is God’s and unto Caesar that which is Caesars,” and (my fav) “a rich man has as much chance of entering heaven as a camel of passing through the eye of a needle.”

Did she? It wouldn’t surprise me but you have to be really, really annoying to ruin performances by Peter Boyle or Doris Roberts and both at the same time is phenomenal.

I confess I’ve never entered a disco.

i think they are pick and choose christians — the old testament (and those pesky commandments) don’t apply (except to others) and they pick and choose the verses of the new testament they do like. ex#2, the fundy, did that so much we declared there was a 3rd version of the bible, the bible according to walter

I was just being all grammar police about “loose” when it should be “lose.”

Ray Romano was pretty annoying too but I could tolerate him at least.

I don’t know but the fucker’s been torturing the silver screen and progressives for far too long now.

During the years I was a caregiver for my mom we watched back to back episodes every weeknight because she liked it. I’ve seen them all. It’s worth it for Doris and Peter, who made the show.

LOL! They hate me because I have (unlike them) actually read the whole thing, cover to cover, and still remember bits an pieces. For the record, Rabbi Yeshua is one of the influences leading my becoming a socialist.

I BRAG that I’ve never entered a disco. Most people hated me anyway though. From 1975 till 1980 my favorite tee shirt was bright red with big black letters that said “KISS SUCKS”. With me it was always about the music. (Yes flat, as a gay man I know you loved KISS too)

What the fuck do you want? I’m a fucking Okie, even if I do have a Ph.D. and max out English aptitude tests.

I guess I’m the only one on the planet who liked that movie.

Postman, now, that has all time worst potential in any year.

How coincidental. I was turned on to the program mom. She felt the same way about it as you and I. She would get quite foul mouthed about Patricia Heaton.

Kostner is pretty much enough to make any movie suck, all by himself.

Reading the whole thing doesn’t exactly bolster it’s credibility. Cherry picking makes it easier for “believers” to ignore the ambiguities and outright contradictions.

It’s all Yahweh’s word, so it’s not nice to point out that He appears to suffer from DADD (Diety Attention Deficit Disorder).

What the fuck do you want? I’m a fucking Okie

Then we want some mispelling and bad grammar mister! >:-[

It was Waterworld that finished me on his movies. UGH!

Just pushin’ yer buttons fer shits ‘n’ grins. :)

Down south we call him Yallweh.

Waterworld was an apt title, almost made me pee myself laughing.

LOL!

Bless His Heart…

If white christian americans had any idea what their Jesus looked like, they’d be so totally having second thoughts:

The result is shown in the left portrait above: a person with abroad peasant’s face, dark olive skin, short curly hair and a prominent nose. His height would have been on the order of 5′ 1″; he would have weighed about 110 pounds. Alison Galloway, professor of anthropology at the University of California in Santa Cruz , said that: “This [portrait] is probably a lot closer to the truth than the work of many great masters.”

Although he does remind me a bit of Palestinian Pavarotti might look like.

Oh, hell, that is the least of it. From the available evidence, he suffers from full blown paranoid schizophrenia. Have to say, that while the Gospels had a huge influence on shaping my moral code, reading the “Good Book” did nothing to shore up my faith and I embraced full apostasy shortly after finishing the thing (St. John the Batshit Crazy will do that to you).

He has such a remarkable ability to spend a fortune and turn what would otherwise have been a decent premise into such a dog. There were so many things wrong with that movie on so many levels. Even Dennis Hopper couldn’t save it.

i saw a nat geo show about the attempted facial creation based on shroud of turin. really interesting to see forensic anthropology stuff.

I’m taller than Jesus

My ex girlfriend forced me to watch Dances With Wolves. Like everything she made me watch I hated it. Probably even more than Home Alone, for the simple reason that not only was it boring it was excruciatingly long.

I have long maintained that he would have looked more like Yasar Arafat (who, like the majority of Palestinians, is probably descended from the vast majority of first century Jews who were not expelled after the revolt and later converted to Christianity and/or Islam) than the guy up on the wall of most churches.

I embraced full apostasy shortly after finishing the thing (St. John the Batshit Crazy will do that to you).

Me too. I’m going with the rye ergot mold theory as to John’s hallucinations. Now if only there had been a Grateful Dead concert for John to go to things would be a whole lot more pleasant these days.

Hopper was a terrific actor, he appeared in some real stinkers though. Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (IIRC) springs to mind.

she left me for jesus

He wasn’t acting then…

I am surprised he didn’t burn himself at the stake.

I won’t tell my forensic anthropology colleague you said that. They hate that kind of shit for the most part. One of them was involved in interpreting the remains from colonial Jamestown, however.

we can keep it our little secret :)

He was to busy tripping out on his hand.

“Dude! Look at my hand!”

You are quite possibly taller than many of those knights in shining armor, who were generally under 5’6″.

Now, now… if Revelations was good enough for Addie Hitler and Chuck Manson it should be good enough for y’all.

Dig the trails…

I resemble that.

I will accept the 100, thank ya verra much!

You win it!

I remember how amazed I was as a kid the first time I saw a real medieval suit of armor and how small it was. Just blew that whole Lancelot/Sir Galahad fantasy thing I had.

happy 100 rat!

I remember seeing something on PBS on the evolution of weaponry. Armor leading to the creation of better can openers, etc.. Lots of helmets with square shaped holes made by pikes. Something like that could really spoil a person’s day.

Thank ya! :)

Yep. Ancient people were tiny comparatively. Still, the things they had to endure were nothing short of astonishing. We are all descendants of some incredible survival stories. if it wasn’t nature trying to kill our ancestors, it was other peoples’ ancestors or communal living in general.

Time for me to turn in. Good night pups. :)

g’nite margaret

Yep. Major cause for the development of guns. Which ultimately led to the demise of full plate armor. Long bow was pretty good against it as well. Ask the French at Agincourt.

Nighters!

Yep, the theory of eugenics is a testament to the folly and hubris of man. Thinking we can do a better job than natural selection.

Sweet dreams, Margaret.

Worse than that, they were trying to eliminate the genetic diversity which is the basis for successful adaptation to change (as well as the real reason for sex).

I should add that we are not very genetically diverse to begin with (one of the least diverse animal species). Chimpanzees, from whom we diverged about 5-7 million years ago, are 4 times as diverse. Freaking penguins are twice as diverse.

Yep, I’ve long thought the Homo Sapiens designation should have been reserved for some later incarnation… if there is one. At the rate we’re moving it doesn’t look like it’ll be long before the mass extinction we’re causing climbs to the top of the food chain.

On a brighter note, wishing a pleasant evening to all.

As in the exhibit at the Museum of Natural History, D.C. Jamestown forensic science?

g’nite rat

Night, rf.

As in one of the people who put it together. Her name is Ashley McKeown.

wow

How is the God-o-meter, or whatever, even vaguely calibrated by what happens at high school graduation ceremonies?

Is there anything about religious belief that can be objectively measured? How strong is belief across an entire population? If two people out of 100 believe really, really strongly and the rest don’t, is that more belief than if twenty people out of a hundred sorta, kinda believe?

I suspect anyone who starts talking about such things of being a clown.

We just saw that on Memorial Day weekend — it is wonderful! As lovers of all things Chesapeake Bay area, we were very interested. They had three lead coffins at the end of the exhibit –fascinating!

This is her.

What kept them so short? I’d have thought that the nobles had enough protein..

Nice!!! It is a great exhibit.

very impressive co-worker ya got there dood

She graduated from UT. Great school.

Lots of neat stuff. She has talked to me about some of it. One of my favorite bits was the African slave from the Congo, which they were able to determine because her incisor had been filed in a particular pattern. Dental modification is common in many parts of Africa, but was apparently abandoned by slaves in the first generation. Different ethnic groups use different patterns of modification.

Not really, in the high Middle Ages, nobody had a very adequate diet. There was also a very high disease load, which also stunts growth.

That, was really interesting.

Yep. We are kind of proud of her.

One of the best for forensic anthropology.

What was really funny was a boy, possibly 13 or so, who joined our discussion of the museum labels! So funny, this kid was totally into the whole exhibit.

The poor child is doomed. Catch them young like that and they can never let it go.

Time for me to toddle off as well. Take care all.

!!! ‘Tis so. Our poor MsCE doomed from birth.

Nite, DrDick!

g’nite dr dick
