Spiritual Retard
Possibly appropriate for St. Pat's day, I don't know.
Livin' easy, lovin's hard,
Season ticket on a one-way ride,
Askin' graces, spiritual retard,
Livin' still with too much pride,
Have some reason, have some rhyme,
Ain't much I would rather do
Goin' on, this earthly time,
My friends are gonna be there too..
Yeah...
[Chorus]
I'm on the highway to Purgatory!
On the highway to Purgatory!
Highway to Purgatory!
I'm on the highway to Purgatory!
I guess I'd have to say I often act like a spiritual retard, especially with the whole sloth thing as well as other various and sundry capital sins.
here's a clean one:
ReplyDeleteThree Irishmen, Paddy, Sean and Seamus, were stumbling home from the pub late one night and found themselves on the road which led
past the old graveyard.. "Come have a look over here," says Paddy, "It's Michael
O'Grady's grave, God bless his soul. He lived to the ripe old age of 87."
"That's nothing," says Sean, "here's one named Patrick O'Toole, it says here that he was 95 when he died."!
Just then, Seamus yells out, "Good God, here's a fella that got to be 145!"
"What was his name?" asks Paddy.
Seamus stumbles around a bit, awkwardly lights a match to see what else is written on the stone marker, and exclaims,
"Miles, from Dublin."
Aye? Miles from Dublin? Begorrah! me grae' grandfuther knew 'im!
ReplyDeletelol diane! ya think they have a greek name for him, like st. patriarkios.
ReplyDeletedreher has a cute new passive-aggressive way of trashing us (well, bubba) -- he *deletes* bubba's comments, but *leaves up* his own comment personally trashing bubba for making bubba's "personal" comments, mistakenly believing his schoolmarm reasons for deleting bubba's comments mask his own virulent passive aggression. to seal the deal, he mentions diane and me in the process. so now dreher hopes everyone will believe bubba's comments were not substantive, but instead were stuff like "on a scale of 1 to 10, your momma is a 747"
but of course! Canada Post today:
ReplyDelete"Russian Orthodox Church tries to put the kibosh on Saint Patrick Day festivities
Saint Patrick's Day festivities are a foreign imposition that should not be celebrated in Russia, an Orthodox Church official said yesterday as Moscow prepared to host a parade to mark the holiday. "It's a lay feast that has been imposed on us from abroad and is being exported to Russia on an American scale," said Father Igor Vyzhanov. "The question of whether Russians should celebrate it or not simply evokes disbelief." Moscow city authorities are organizing a "green" parade, the colour traditionally associated with the Irish feast, tomorrow on Novy Arbat, one of Moscow's main thoroughfares. Saint Patrick is credited with converting Ireland to Christianity. "
the thought occurs to me benedict might want to do one better than alaska and move his "little platoon" to the siberian plains.
The return of Mr. Deleter deserves it's own post, which I just posted, and it's own POLL, which I just added.
