OK, I was reading the blog of a friend and he got punked by Larknews.com . 1st off I must say that the first time I went there I got punked as well, but man is it worth it! The reason? Well, Christians love to take their news and all of the things they read so serious. I just got through preaching a sermon all about laughter and humor, and happiness, and yes, the one that goes beyond them all joy. But, it just cracks me up!
For those of you who do not know it Lark News is a Christian version of The Onion. And they, like The Onion, do a great job! I wish Lark News had a podcast like The Onion, I would love it.
So, I went over to the site to check it out and I never really played around with it before, and I must say the past few mins. have been a blast.. so here are a few things for you to do…. and most of the jokes Christians will get, but they are for everyone Christian or normal people.. so have fun:
1. Go to Lark News
2. Click on horoscope (btw, Christians do not beleive in the horoscope, and that is what makes this funny) keep clicking and read the comments the site gives you.
3. Then have some more fun by clicking on Chinese, or Bald Men up at the menu bar of the site.or the “hearing impaired and check out the change of the logo…or “visually impaired”
4. Now go into any story rerad it and laugh, then go to the top of the story and clcik on “reading impared” . (enjoy)
5. Now go back to the main page click on the same story artilce and click on the “For Eunuchs” notice a difference from #4? (oh man that is funny!)
6. Click on the FAQ… man that is one of the best FAQ’s I have EVER read!!!! EVER!
I am sure there is more stuff, but I thought I would share that little bit of laughter for your day today! Have a great one!
I am always looking for the big break of popular media to get a few things right. 1) Christanity (one that is not filled with ignorance and stupid representatives), and 2) a real Geek show that actually knows thier stuff, a show that will make geeks laugh, because the writters are geeks themselves and know what is funny to us.
Well, I have actually foudn the cure to the second option:
The Big Bang Theory…and to prove it to you I will give you all a few links to a few of the episodes best moments…enjoy!
For all you WoW fans this one is for you
For all you Halo 3 Fans
For all those that were Nerds (back in the day and now self proclaimed Geeks thinking back to school and dating)
Oh and for this next one check out the Tron T-Shirt! Now that ROCKS!
And this last one is probably my favorite episode #15. It is 9:00 mins long wioth the best jokes from thisepisode, and I think this is one of the funniest intors to a TV Sitcom I have seen in a LONG time
I hope your day has been blessed with a little bit of humor after this blog post. Have a great holiday weekend.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Here is a picture of our Christmas tree this year. The Halo helmet I stole form a story in Digg.com, but the gender of the tree was all me…thanks to the help of Tiffany’s favorite store Michael’s! When I saw those balls I knew exactly what I had in mind for them! oh yeah!
====================
Here is the final picture of the aftermath after a game of Munchkin (I think on Tiffany’s Birthday) I love this game, but I never win at it..and I did this time, so here is all my cards and the final 10 level on the dice! Oh man it was a great day!
===============================================
And last but never least is the note that Tiffany was artificially inseminated Friday…so here we go on the second round of trying to make a Baby! I try to make it a fun time when we go, so this time instead of walking into the Dr.’s office with the plain brown paper bag containing my “deposit for the bank of Tiffany” I decided that I would spruce it up a little bit and give it a little Starbucks packaging. I can’t tell you how many people asked me if I brought them Starbucks.. i tried to tell them that they probably did not want what was in the bag, ha ha ha ha…. but come to find out the Dr. loves Starbucks and gave me a high five when he found out what we had done! I made everyone smile, and that is exactly what the Dr. ordered for that day since it is our second round…so here is the pea for you all to please pray for us, and that if this is what god desires for us to do/have…then please pray for us and the possible future baby! Thanks and God bless yall!!!! KUTPs!!!
I received an email from Emergent the other day and it had a quote from an interview Brad Pitt did with Bishop Desmond Tutu… I just wanted to share it with yall….
The interview starts with Tutu explaining the
African concept of ubuntu…
Brad Pitt: What is this concept of
ubuntu I keep reading about?
Tutu: “Ubuntu is the essence of
being human [...] we say a person is a person
through other persons. You can’t be a human
in isolation. You are human only in
relationships. [...] So we say that ‘I need
you to be all of who you are in order for me
to be all that I am.’ Because no human being
is totally self-sufficient. In fact, a
self-sufficient human being is subhuman.”
[...] If you want to be human, we are not
going to be able to be human in isolation.
It will be that we are human together.”
What do you think about this understanding of “Ubuntu“?
oh and yes, this just so happens to be a Linux operating system as well, heh … never knew the history behind the word, and what an awesome name sake for an open source operating system!
(cool logo Carl…or who ever made it!)

OK, Tiffany and I were in Michael’s the other day and I just had to buy these:
There will not be any question as to the gender this year of our Christmas Tree! Can’t wait to hang them!
—————————————————–
Oh and this one has a great story behind it!…As some of you know, I was at an “emergingumc: a gathering” event in Nashville, TN this past weekend! It was great and a fun time was had by all!
Now a few of you need some background on this picture. The unofficial headquarters of most of the world wide denomination of the United Methodist Church is found in Nashville. And the building that we had all of our sessions and discussions in was the General Board of Discipleship of the entire United Methodist Church. (GBOD for short). The building that the beer truck is parked in front of is this building! It was so funny that i just had to get a picture of it!
(now, please know that the truck was unloading across the street to a restaurant, and NOT to the GBOD, but it was too classic of a statement!) God bless yall, and KUTPs!!!
In the last game the picture (12 years old) threw a 100 mile an hour pitch!
Blend it up……I’d drink it!
While gone to Guatemala, me and the guys came up with a saying that I think has the potential to catch on and who knows maybe someday we will be hearing it in movies, etc… so here it is…simple easy and fun…
if you see something you like you just say, “I’d drink it”. Or if your really adventurous, “Blend it up…I’d drink it”……………….
So lets try it out……lets say you just saw a sexy picture of me, you would say, “Blend him up, I drink it”…ha ha ha ha……
It is much better if you say it like you saw it first on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour (similar to, “Here’s your sign”, or “Git eR Done”…say it with a little hick and it works. Well, OK thanks and let’s see if it catches on.
Oh and you can also join the facebook group I created too, called yep you guessed it, “I’d drink it“
We went to the prison yesterday and then climbed a volcano! Both were amazing, both were very hard. Lov eyal and thank you for praying for all of us… mor eto come I promise! KUTPs!!!
It was very funny when I was asked 10-20 times if I want a joint to smoke, heh… God is good….. even in people that are a little misguided, heh. love yal!!!! KUTPs!!!!
Yesterday was probably some of the hardest yet. We went back to La Limonada to try to finish the was for the three teachers and also to speak encouragement to the teachers of the school, and then we did a few home visits and then last night is what killed me. We went and made sandwiches for the street children that live in and near the trash dump. I think there might have been two of the 30 that were not high on glue or rubbing alcohol. And there were all there and singing songs with this amazing guy who just went out there and loved on them with his wife/girlfriend. The glow sticks wet over amazingly! of course I am sure they really loved the trip of a glowing stick when they were high, heh heh..
please continue your prayers for us! We are going to spend most of the day with gang members in prisons today! Then we get to go walk on a volcano! If your reading this then I must say that we will never know how blessed we are. Never. B ut there is always hope in this world and life, and I pray that you can keep searching for it and find it! Because it is worth the journey and challenge of the chase! Love yall…soo much and please I beg of all of you, KUTPs!!! of us and for the world around you!
Ok I just posted around 40 new pictures on My Flickr….. go check it out yall! and KUTPs!!!!
oh and here is a picture of Shane Claiborne when I went to go hear him quote his book, heh:
BTW: The Simple Way (the community that Shane is a part of), burned to the ground the other day… if you would like to know more about this amazing story or support them then follow this link.
Oh and this pic is for Alan Creech and all of those who love Thomas Merton who I know would appreciate it… I saw it during Annual conference while taking some street photography in downtown Louisville.
And yes… I felt the same way…I even took a few photos of the people I was falling in love with:
and (next too) lastly this one is for Sean who I know loves the fat that he works right next to the UMC cross and flames logo each day:
Oh and I went to my Travel clinic today for the last of the shots I need to go to Guatemala!!! but you have got to check this out… now this is the view when I turn around the corner looking for the place I am to receive my shots (5 total!):
Yes, that is right…The Poison Room is next door to my clinic, heh heh… that just cracked me up!
OK so go to My Flickr and read the funny commentary of the NASCAR race and Annual conference! (It might just brighten your day/night!) KUTPs!!!!
