What a strange planet it is

December 5th, 2006

Very little spam makes it through to my Gmail inbox. I just noticed that one made it past the filters, welcoming me to LDSPlanet.com. You can see a copy here.
Mormon dating sites. What will they think of next?

My only guess is they spam people with accounts. It has my username as HotGoofy. Which is… sad, really.

I couldn’t resist.

Of crazy preachers and dead bodies

January 10th, 2006

My buddy Wade forwarded two links to me, which he thinks are connected.

First, Benny Hinn thinks he’s gonna be raising the dead. Really.

Of course, according to the controversial faith healer, the television sets will need be tuned to TBN. “You’re going to have people raised from the dead watching this network. … People around the world who will lose loved ones will say to undertakers, ‘Not yet, I want to take my dead loved one and place him in front of that TV set for 24 hours,’” Hinn announced to the network’s followers.

Next, a dead woman was kept in her house for 2 1/2 years. The connection?

Dr. Owens says the deceased believed when she died she would come back to life and her caregiver wanted to honor that wish…

Dr. Owen’s says each day the caregiver would check in on the deceased, spraying away flies and maggots, and sometimes turning on the TV.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Um… yeah

The New Yorker: Shouts and Murmurs

As a quick-thinking senatorial aide switched on the Senate’s public-address system and cued up the infamous “Seven Minutes of Funk”; Mr. Leahy and Mr. Cheney went head-to-head in what can only be described as a”take no prisoners” freestyle rap battle.

Most of the rhymes kicked therein cannot be quoted in a family publication, but observers gave Mr. Cheney credit for his deceptively laid-back flow. Mr. Leahy was applauded for managing to rhyme the phrases “unethical for certain,” “crude oil spurtin”, and “like Halliburton.”

Watched Interview with the Vampire last week. Just saw this pic.

Is it just me, or does Blair have those vampire eyes going on?

Fun with Sharpton

February 20th, 2004

How anyone can take Al Sharpton seriously is beyond me. Reason number 327:

Judge: Sharpton filing incomplete for ballot

The Rev. Al Sharpton’s name will not appear on the Democratic presidential preference primary ballot when Louisiana voters go to the polls March 9, a state judge ruled Thursday.

Sharpton’s candidacy papers were incomplete, state District Judge Curtis Calloway ruled, because they failed to have a complete address, a phone number, and did not specify how Sharpton wanted his name on the ballot.

But of course, this isn’t the result of incompetence. Oh no.

Sharpton supporters said Calloway’s ruling disappointed them. The Rev. Raymond Brown, Sharpton’s state campaign representative, said he will talk to Sharpton about a possible boycott of the election.

“I can tell you that, personally, I will not vote that day if Sharpton is not on the ballot,” Brown said.

That’s C-O-N-spiracy.

Gift Idea

Buy me a Huey UH1-P for Christmas and I’ll be your bestest friend forever.

I love how it says: “NEEDS BLADES AND ROTOR HEAD.” “Hey Amber! I finally found something to do with those chopper parts!”

(Thanks Mike)
