FSM Guitar

Please see the attached picture of the FSM guitar I built. It debuted at the Center For Inquiry Indiana annual picnic. I have wanted to build this for three years and finally got it done. The guitar is a very playable instrument (but only while standing up). My friend, retired medical illustrator Craig Gosling (photo left) did the sketch for the body shape. I constructed the guitar and Eric Ward did the paint.

FSM Spotted in Parade

Jeffrey sent in this photo from this morning's DragonCON parade in Atlanta.

Here's a close-up:

I like that He's riding majestically in a car while others are walking. 

The "Him->" sign is a helpful touch to those not yet enlightened.

And that looks like the  I Want To Believe drawing on the car, am I right? This one:

One more photo.  Notice the mountain/midgit.  Awesome.

Fancy cake

Here is a cake that I did in my class at Le Cordon Bleu.

Certificate of Ordination update

If you ordered a certificate in the last week it's in one of these mailers that were sent out yesterday:

The response was more than I anticipated and the majority of newly minted Pastafarian ministers live outside of the US which I did not expect. 

There are at least 5 weddings planned in which a Pastafarian minister will officiate.  I've gotten quite a few emails saying you are not allowed to do this.  But like I've said, we maintain that our religion is as legitimate as any other.   By all measures, our religion is more intellectually honest than any faith-based religion.   If, when an ordained Pastafarian minister applies for a license to perform wedding in his or her region, the bureaucrat who processes those applications can reject it, if they wish.  To date I'm not aware of that happening, but I realize there is some hoop-jumping required in certain areas.   I am happy to write Letters of Good Standing or any other official documents that they may require.

To answer a question: I will make these as long as people want them and I am in the country.  I move around a lot so if you would like one I'd recommend ordering it now.

Jake painted this piece for the ceiling in his art room.  It will be on display for years to come, no doubt influencing future students.   Nice work!
