Texas loves you, Jesus!

Nov 16, 2006 13:44

Here are three things I saw today, on my way to work.

1. A big church marquee reading "WHY DOES GOD DISAPPOINT US?"*.

2. A bumper sticker reading "GOD ANSWERS KNEE-MAIL".

3. A truck sticker featuring a bootleg Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes, only instead of peeing on something, he and Susie Derkins are kneeling before a cross.

*: Man, good ( Read more... )

work, junk, jeebus

It's just a sophomore slump.

Also God, we're not angry....just disappointed.

They have now changed the marquee. It currently reads "HOW TO BECOME GREAT". Quit hanging around with that big disappointment God, would be my guess.

Is it wrong that I find "knee-mail" to be genuinely entertaining?

ludickid November 16 2006, 19:54:37 UTC

Deeply.

Is it wrong that I find the idea of Praying Calvin less disturbing in itself than the fact that he's praying with Susie Derkins?

Are you still in San Antonio or have you moved to some place even more godbonkers?

ludickid November 16 2006, 19:56:06 UTC

Still in SA. Though it's hard to imagine there are too many places more godbonkers.

Try Alabama.

ludickid November 16 2006, 20:08:24 UTC

I did. It was pretty religious, but what I mostly remember is the racism. Mmmmm, delicious deep-fried southern racism!

You people are insane.

what? that's right, right? tawdryjones November 16 2006, 20:13:48 UTC

I thought the second one was saying that God listens if you knee him in the groin.

We call it "The Heavenly Rackjob" ludickid November 16 2006, 20:15:18 UTC

That may explain why He disappoints us.

Man, I can't even tell you how much I hate Peeing Calvin. I will tell you that I'd rather every car come standard with a Peeing Calvin that have to see one more fucking Praying Calvin. Why use Calvin? Because you enjoy the character and the strip he came from? No, more likely because there's something rewarding about using your windshield to redeem a morally questionable six-year-old from a comic strip, though it is a complete departure from who he was intended to be. Assholes.
