Jer took me out to lunch at Romano's. They had a chalkboard labelled "Virginia Wine Specials." Written on the board was the following: "Try one of our authentic Italian Desserts.
Cannoli
New York Cheesecake"

Hehe.

Then, my mom forwarded me a video of my niece. In it, she takes a teddy bear and a baby wipe, and thoroughly wipes the bear's tush, then, with the same wipe, washes its face. Hehe.

I <3 Lucy!

ETA: Jer just found one more thing to make my day. Don't ask why, but he was reading the liner notes from Hanson's very first album, "3 Car Garage," wherein they say "We acknowledge Him, the morning star, who is our Hope."
For those of you who don't immediately see the irony here...the morning star is Lucifer. Lucifer = light bearer.
I'm sure they didn't mean it that way, but...hehe.

Peace.

Well, they're Mormon, so it's close...

Hey, now. No insulting Satanism.

Hey, now.

I know some very nice Mormon people. To be entirely fair, I think all religions imply impossible things to the same degree--we're just more accustomed to some impossibilities than others.

"This guy came down from heaven and gave you a special pair of goggles so you could read those golden tablets? You're off your fucking rocker."

vs.

"You claim you can talk to dead people? You're off you're fucking rocker."

vs.

"You say the founder of your religion brought someone back from the dead? You're off your fucking rocker."

Etc.

I know, that was naughty of me. I blame it on my cold.

I was being sarcastic (as ever). I, too, know some very nice Mormons. I merely made the snarky comment that was available. Would've made the same joke if they were Catholic, Muslim, Zoroastrian (Sp?), or anything else.

What do you mean by ETA? Estimated Time of Arrival? Huh?

That's interesting, about the morning star. I wonder if they really meant Satan? Or if there's something quasi-theological wherein Jesus replaces Satan as the lucifer, since Satan "fell" ?

[pwylltwiceborn.livejournal.com]

I had the same initial thought. My guess: "Edited To Add."

[jianantonic.livejournal.com]

Edited to add = ETA

I sincerely doubt they meant Satan.

oh, and think about the lyrics from the hymn "How Great Thou Art": "On Earth he has no equal." Who is the song referring to there, do you think? (It's interesting.)
