Reminded me of a few Emo Phillips jokes.

The other day a Mormon told me that they don't drink coffee. I said, "A cup of coffee every day gives you wonderful benefits." He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well, it keeps you from being Mormon ..."

eL, many, many years ago some friends of ours (3 guys from California) stopped in for a few days to visit as they were traveling around the country. One of the first things they wanted to tell us about was what they called the 'Alpine Slide' they'd experienced while in Tennessee. It was apparently one of the biggest adrenaline rushes they'd ever had, which was really saying something considering some of the adrenaline-rushing things these guys were in to. It was hilarious to listen to them describe the ride as they showed us all the 'road rash' damage to their clothes and bodies. The sleeve on one guy's jacket was actually scorched around the edges of the huge hole caused when his arm rubbed against the side of the chute.
Can't remember exactly where they were, perhaps Chattanooga, and have no idea if the slide is still there. But obviously it was an extremely dangerous thing to do!

This is for ol' salty water, hisownself, Saline.

Ooooh, I know bait when I see it and you couldn't wait to set the trap, right there with the 1st post on the open line!

I'm somewhat of a newcomer here so I'll be tonight's sacrificial lamb. I'll take the bait. You do know about sacrificial lambs, right?

I'll admit, the link leads to a Saline wet dream. It's got it all: God, Jesus Christ, Tim Tebow, Fellowship Bible Church, Redneck football games, Foo'ball as a life lesson. White foo'ball players walkin' on for Notre Dame, even a subtle discounting of Alabama's black running backs (runnin' behind that fine white, Christian center).

Yet, it still needs a little spicing up, in my opinion, to make your dreams even better tonight.

How 'bout comin' up with a good Christian Fantasy Football Team? It's my idea so I'll get it started.

Head Coach: God Almighty, an obvious choice.
Quarterback: Jesus Christ, with T. Tebow backing Him up.
There's 10 more positions on offense. I can't have all the fun but I'd recommend using 10 of the disciples as the other starters. Good Christian Republicans can say who plays where, but just between you and me, I'd rule out Judas and doubting Thomas as starters. They might not be all that dependable. Paul is your obvious water boy--he's had a lot of experience in that role.

Like I said, I can't do everything for you guys--I'm just here to get the ol' ball rollin', so to speak. Y'all can name your defensive team and you might change the rules enough to allow everybody on the team to be armed as well.

I don't know though. Wet dreams, if too intense, can lead to heart attacks. So be careful.

Who supplies the TP?
I know the Koch's make angel soft and I refuse to buy it, no matter how cheap, so do they make some for prisons?
How big is the roll?
Double or single ply?
Is it durable or do you have to use more when the first batch shreds?

A mother was driving the family station wagon behind a garbage truck when a large dildo flies out of the back of the truck and hits her windshield dead-on, sticking to it.

To hide her embarrassment the mother turns and says to her young kids, "My, what a big insect!"

To which her 8-year-old says, "I'm surprised it could fly with a dick that big."

It'd be too easy to make jokes.

What's not funny is yet another example of the adolescent, determinedly mean-spirited Arkansas legal and penal system in action, once more in the news.

Everything across the board: from the tragic example of Arkansas's spectacularly incompetent, hateful and stupid police / judicial conduct with the WM3 to this bratty toilet-paper policy and judicial ruling.

Why, exactly, would any sane adult--much less a high-tech business--ever want to relocate to such a state?

The scenery?

Hate to break it to y'all, but there are far, far more beautiful locales from sea to shining sea, populated and governed by grownups.

Unbelievable.

These modern day gun totin' pussies couldn't hold a candle to her in being "self-sustaining" and able to take care of herself and her children---her husband was a no-good and had been gone for several years.

As churches have proven for over a 1,000 yrs there's no better lubricant for easing a fool's grip on money than idealism and magnificent promises.

That negligent discharge link reminded me of when I had to have hand surgery - not gun related. But on the next bed in the prep room was a fellow holding his finger in the air and saying "I can't believe I am so stupid" over and over. Turns out he put his finger on the end of a rifle and pulled the trigger. The surgeon needed to remove a bit of bone so he could get enough skin to pull over the end of the finger.

But she, like gays and abortion doctors of today, was thoroughly vilified by the prevailing religion and one of it's prevailing loudmouths after Maria succumbed to the plague two years later.

Said Saint Peter Damian:"...this woman’s vanity was hateful to Almighty God; and so, unmistakably, did He take his revenge. For He raised over her the sword of His divine justice, so that her whole body did putrefy and all her limbs began to wither.”

Her vanity? Maria introduced forks to the Italian court.

Like gays causing hurricanes and omitting god results in school shootings, these shitheads don't change in a thousand years and resent most change which comes their way.
