Samuel,

Oh, man, is that a classic!

I don't know what's funnier, that Ahmadinejad and Raders fans share a ring or that Bill and Hillary aren't immersed in excrement.

Sebosmile said...

Lol, men and their sports teams. :eye roll:

Liked your hell very much, aside from the total lack of toasty Planned Parenthood emplyees. ;)

Edmund Schrag said...

Ah, excellent point. To answer it, one need only remember that animals do not go to hell.

Terry Morris said...

Are reptilians part of the animal kingdom?

Say, why is attribution given to the Monarchist here, when this is obviously the handiwork of Mr. Adams? Just curious.

Michael Tams said...

DW,

It just happens like that. Some people get all the credit for other people's work.

Nah, I'm joshin'. Where was this attributed to me?

-AH

Terry Morris said...

Ummm, well, actually it wasn't....sorry 'bout that. I musta been in some altered state of consciousness when I writ that, what with all the pain meds I been takin' lately.

My apologies, sir.

Michael Tams said...

No apologies necessary, brother. Is the realignment helping?

-AH

Edmund Schrag said...

Okay, this is where I updated my hell list.

Michael Tams said...

Oh, I'm sick to my stomach from laughing. I'd sarcastically thank you, but I really did need that!

marc with a c and tim parry, very classic. lol I read marc with a c's blog and found it doused in the peculiar kind of logic I often hear from liberals. They seem unaware that they often express two completely opposing viewpoints in the same sentence. Things like "My taxes should be lower and we need to give more money to the school system".
On another note, the grace of God, prayers on our behalf, and the habits of living an upright life have combined to overcome our recent troubles with the local school. Although, I must admit that I did ask the Lord to teach the principal wisdom and it was not in a spirit of loving kindness.

Edmund Schrag said...

Let me guess, as a result of your lack of lovingkindness, the Good Lord did not answer your prayer in the affirmative?

I believe the Lord is answering that prayer even as we blog. It was with a sincere desire to have a wise and discerning principal at my son's school that I offered that particular prayer. The fact that the Lord's lessons in wisdom are often unpleasant is beside the point, other than indicating to me that I have more work to do on my own character. Shame on me for taking the least little bit of pleasure in the thought of this school administration's discomfiture.
Indeed, as for answers to prayer on other aspects of this matter, I have, in hand, a letter from the principal clearing my child from any suspicion in the incident.

Edmund Schrag said...

The LORD is indeed merciful, even with prayers that can only be described as petty.

One All Hallowes Eve many...moons ago, toward the end of the sunlit part of the day, I came down with a blinding headache (as I was wont in my youth). In agony--both for the pain I was in and at the prospect of missing out on the evening's festivities--I silently cried out to God for Him to deliver me by his bountiful mercy of this headache so that I could join my brothers in a purely selfish campaign for fun and candy.

And deliver me He did! No, I did not soon forget His Kindness, and I remember Him to this day for the smallest of pettitions and least worthy of attention.

Nobility of cause may certainly add volume to our prayers; but be sure, He hears all.

Michael Tams said...

Samuel and Mom,

Didn't you get the memo from Marc? Anyone who is literate knows that the Bible is a series of folk tales... or some gibberish like that.

He hears all. Samuel, AMEN to that, brother, you're sounding like AdT.

-AH

"Shame on me for taking the least little bit of pleasure in the thought of this school administration's discomfiture."

Mom, I've been outta the loop for awhile, so I don't have the foggiest what you're talking about, except in a general sense. But I will say this: whereas it's often customary for people of faith and conscience to encourage their conscience-guided brethren making such confessions of personal failings (which we're all guilty of to some degree or another), with encouraging words such as "don't be too hard on yourself..." and the like, I'm gonna resist the strong urge I feel to do that in this instance, and to instead say:

Keep it up, Mom! Keep on holding yourself to a higher standard of personal conduct. That little celestial spark of fire, called conscience, which is lighted in you was lighted by none other than your maker, and He it is that keeps it burning. Whether we pay heed to its instruction is up to us. And you know what they say, Mom: "conscience is the most sacred of all property."

But you know all this already, so I needn't say anymore, except....thanks!

Alexander,

I don't really sound like an annoying, high-pitched scream crossed with an incessant beeping as if I'm some kind of electronic harpee?

I joke, I kid, I tease. Thank you, my friend, that is one of the highest compliments I have ever received. To be like Misseur de Tocqueville is a high bar indeed.

Thank you Mr. Webster. The Lord has been presenting challenges to me on an almost daily basis this past month and more. I am trying to think of it as an intensive training program. My prayer is that I do what He requires of me in all circumstances. I am doing my best to keep a good attitude as well. It would do me absolutely no good to hear that I shouldn't be so hard on myself. There are pretty high stakes in most of these challenges so far and I have needed to be on my toes. I appreciate the encouragement.

Sebosmile said...

Well, I've never gotten how Marc with a C's father was one of the Iranian hostages... who still works for the cia... and the entire family HATES Reagan.

I actually STOPPED talking to him a few summers back, he got so horrible after the Gipper passed away.

And yet... THe way he's turned out, I can't really argue with you sending my ex-bf to Hell, lol.

Have you two crossed swords recently?

Edmund Schrag said...

sebosmile,

You could say that...

And, let me assure you, when you can look up and see Tim Parry, you've been a VERY bad boy indeed.

Edmund Schrag said...

This is a pre-emptive message for marc with an x:

Look on the bright side, you could have been immersed in excrement.

Sebosmile said...

This still makes me laugh! (And at least SOMETHING is funny today, right? :sigh:)
