Pure Awesomeness

Toilet Paper your Sr. Pastor's office

Don, a Senior Pastor in No Cal got his office Tee-Peed in retaliation. He knew he deserved it. More church staff team's might think about building relationships that allow for this kind of interaction.

Gotta love Austin

Someone reprogrammed two city construction road signs near the University of Texas early Monday morning in an attempt to warn Austin of an imminent zombie attack.

Messages that typically alert Lamar Boulevard drivers to a detour for Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard splashed several warnings like “Caution! Zombies Ahead!” and “Nazi Zombies! Run!!!”

How much fun is that!

Have you talked to you kids about this yet?

Band name meme

Bevan has an entertaining game to come up with your hypothetical Band’s name, album title and cover art for your first album.

You do that by:

1. Band Name: Random Wikipeda Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

2. Album Title: Random quote generator (take the last four words from the quote) Link: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
3. Album Art: Flickr Interesting Photo: http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/

To cool.
My Band name: Blackwater
My Album Title: except death and taxes
Cover Art:

I'd love to see what the band names and titles might be for other friends of mine.
Marko would be the kind of music you play on a pink guitar,
Dan Mayes would probably be named after Amy Grant,
Todd Littleton would likely be some kind of college music,
and Dan Kimball's band would be a rock a billy band that covers elvis...
I'd also like to see Brandon Grissom's band name. That is if it weren't named after himself. :-)
and though I don't think he reads my blog, I'd love to see what Zach Lind would name his band if it were to be changed from Jimmy Eat World.

Who am I going to be for Halloween? Hint number 1

Bevan and Evie can't guess. :-)

Classic Dave Grohl

Foo Fighters on Craig Kilborne. just good old fun. Dave Grohl hits the solo just about note for note. This is mostly just fun,not beauty.

Stairway to heaven



Then there's this with Will Ferrell. (warning: a bit of language)

Behave Children! Behave!

awesome.

Educating my friends

For Bevan and Ryan who haven't heard of Dimitri Martin.
I think of Dimitri as the Sufjan Stevens of comedy.

Uke Shaft

In honor of Marko, who loves uke music.

Bevan on Spiderman 3

Bevan's a new friend who is also part of the eikon community. He loves movies. Today he writes a personal letter to Spiderman 3. Feeling the need to get his feelings off his chest. Freakin hilarious. Read it here.

My personal favorite part:

The problem is that I ended up pretty much liking Black Spiderman about 1000x better than normal Spiderman. Let’s review the major “evil” choices that “evil” Spiderman took:

1. He was mean to his landlord. This seems like fair play to me, that dude was always yelling at him. And while we’re on the topic, why does Spiderman have rent concerns? Doesn’t his inability to make even a small financial arrangement with the New York for his living conditions hinder his ability to fight crime effectively? Isn’t Spiderman just hurting New York due to his love of personal poverty?
2. He jazz danced down Broadway. Don’t even get me started with that damn scene.
3. He ate too many cookies from the landlord’s daughter. Was never quite sure while this was “evil”, she seemed to enjoy the whole thing.
4. He exposed a fraud whose lies endangered their mutual employer. The movie never even touches that it is a just thing to right a wrong, it only deals with emotions. “Oh, you hurt my feelings because you exposed me for the fraud that I am.” Batman wouldn’t deal with that crap.
5. He told whiny Harry the truth about his a-hole dad. Seemed like fair-play to me, the kid needed to know the truth. Especially since enabling his lie made him your mortal enemy and endangered your crime-fighting operation.
6. He was mean to Mary Jane by jazz dancing (again?!?) at her jazz club. This is the Mary Jane who brutally broke his heart by acting like she had an affair with his best friend. Seemed necessarily cathartic to me. She is a selfish girl who can’t sing well. She ain’t the Queen of Sheeba.

Weddings and Church Use

Brant over at Kamp Krusty was on the air for his radio show and had some interesting conversations.

My favorites:

Caller: Well, I'm on staff at our church, and there's a good reason we charge $500 for people to use the building for a wedding.

Me: That's what the church charges members who've actually paid for the building over the years?

Caller: Yes. It's really expensive to run the power and clean up and everything.

Me: Of course it is. So if the pastor wants to have a "Let's Celebrate Our Grads!" night in the sanctuary, do you have to pay $500?

Caller: Well, no, because that would be an official church function.

Me: Okay, I'm just curious: Joining members of your church in holy matrimony in front of witnesses and God isn't an official thing?

Caller: No, that's an extra thing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Next caller: I can speak for our church. If we DIDN'T charge, we'd have people lined up, wanting to use the place every Saturday for years.

Me: But if they're people who are members, and paid for the building, and it's their's, too, shouldn't it be free and celebrated and --

Caller: It would be too crazy if you just let people do that.

Me: But if they paid for it to start with --

Caller: You have to charge a fee to discourage people from using it.
