Counter-protest

The Westboro Baptist "Church" annoys me beyond words. I simply have to love the people who came up with this:

Reformation Sunday Hymn

I somehow do not think that Martin Luther envisioned being remembered in song... (Hat tip to Ralph Hamilton!)

(to the tune of “Frosty the Snowman”)

Martin the German was a sorry, mixed up soul,
‘Cause he thought it odd that a loving God
Would condemn him straight to hell.

Martin the German even took a sacred vow
When a lightning strike nearly took his life
But St. Anne stepped in somehow.

It must have seemed like magic when
Old Habakkuk he found,
‘Cause when he read God saves by faith
He began to dance around.

O, Martin the German felt reborn again that day,
And he spread the word from old Wittenberg
All the way to Rome, they say.

Thumpitty thump thump, thumpitty thump thump,
Nail them to the door;
Thumpitty thump thump, thumpitty thump thump,
Hear those Theses roar!

So Abraham was a friend of God... and now, on Facebook, I am too. (Well, actually I am a "fan" but let's not get picky!)

Just another happy blogger

I know why I blog. I have this frustrated muse, or something. But then I wander and find places like these blogs, qnd I'm just so proud to be a part of the blogging community!

The Grocery List Collection blog - start with their "Top Ten" lists

The Church Signs Blog - Just because being cutesie on a sign is such a bad idea.

Ugly Shoes of the week - Since I've had my own "ugly shoes contest" I have a special fondness for this blog.

MUST SEE...

Wales... Where sheep wearing LEDs, dogs, and bored shepherds create art... Enjoy!!

The TOES have it

Ah, a completely pointless post. Finally. NO angst here. No defeat. Just De Feet. (ar ar ar ar) These are the entries for the shoes we liked the least during a recent trip to the DSW to find shoes to go with The Harpist's prom dress...

First up, we have the shoes voted "most likely to have been recycled from a lawn chair."




Next up, (and I'm sorry the color is off, but you will have to take my word for it), the shoes voted to be "closest to the color of pee."



Next, the shoes voted to have been "attacked by sea anemones." BACK!!! BACK!!! BACK I SAY!!!



And finally...

I do NOT care what Stacy and Clinton from What Not To Wear say about how shoes like this are "comfortable"... What a bunch of hooey.

These shoes were my size. And they HURT like the dickens. My poor toesies were so squished that I had a uni-toe. (And, as my sister pointed out, they were definitely made to squish bugs in the corners of a room.)

I give you - "The Uni-Toe Shoes."



Now, if you want to see the prom dress, and the cute shoes that she found to go with it, you'll have to wait. Prom's on May 29th... But here's a sneak preview...



There you are. Pearls of wisdom for today...

My NPR Name

See the full story here at Liana's blog...

So finally, after years of Fresh Air sign-off ambitions, we came up with a system for creating our own NPR Names. Here’s how it works: You take your middle initial and insert it somewhere into your first name. Then you add on the smallest foreign town you’ve ever visited.

So I’m Liarna Kassel. And Eric is Jeric Bath. I even have a new nickname for my little brother in Dylsan Rosarita.

OK
Then this makes me:
Debgorah Dorlar.

You heard it hear first.

The Virginia Beach Blizzard

The Virginia Beach Blizzard...
It's just hard to describe...

It was terrible!!

The cold, frigid winter air...

Windy.

Blowing and drifting snow.

Ice on bridges and overpasses.




Just not here.
But my class was canceled today....

Can you see why??

yeah. me neither...
...so I did homework instead. It's all good.

I have promised my children...

If, when I am in something that could be called a "senior praise band" I attempt to participate in something like this, my children have my permission to remind me of this video....

I don't think I need to say anything else.

In the completely pointless category...
