The Blog: Laments From La Mancha

Okay, it was actually Jesús… but the concept certainly put me in a funny mood.

This morning while playing my normal rounds of Tigris and Euphrates on Board Game Geek, I came accross some “geek lists” dedicated to some funny comics (we also watched Last Comic Standing last night, so that really put me in the mood):

“I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said “Stop! don’t do it!”
“Why shouldn’t I?” he said.
I said, “Well, there’s so much to live for!”
He said, “Like what?”
I said, “Well…are you religious or atheist?”
He said, “Religious.”
I said, “Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?”
He said, “Christian.”
I said, “Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?”
He said, “Protestant.”
I said, “Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?”
He said, “Baptist!”
I said,”Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?”
He said, “Baptist Church of God!”
I said, “Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?”
He said,”Reformed Baptist Church of God!”
I said, “Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?”
He said, “Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915!”
I said, “Die, heretic scum!”, and pushed him off.”

The last one was dedicated to Mitch Hedberg who I’ve always been a fan of:

The timing is slightly off on this one

This is not the first, nor is it the last time I will begin a post with this disclaimer:

Please, don’t misunderstand me. I’m all for taking secular things and christianizing them (in the same token, I get a kick out of christian things being secularized – i.e. the Darwin Fish), but some things just DON’T BELONG in church.

A few Sunday’s ago we ran this little clip before service started. It doesn’t matter how you change the words, the original is in my head. The entire service I just kept repeating the following in my head: “My anaconda don’t want none if you ain’t got buns hon…”

In any case, enjoy!
