I want to hate, but can't

[Monkey]

My kid's in vacation bible school.
OK, could be worse, I'll just read her extra from

and


My Mother-in-Law is an assistant there.
Well, now, still not so bad. She's no holy roller and it's nice for her to be involved.

There's a program on Thursday night.
Aw man, that's my night to start drinkin'. I hope it's not a musical.

My wife just brought home the summer camp shirt.
It's bright orange.
across the front in an old-timey typeface it says:

Hometown Nazereth
Where Jesus was a kid

Every time I look at it, I have to stand for a minute while my brain repeatedly engages and disengages.

whiirrr *click*
Do they mean that?
whiirrr *click*
Is my kid in a South Park episode?
whiirrr *click*
Who...Who came up with that?
whiirrr *click*
What daily activities go with that theme?
whiirrr *click*
Is this child abuse?

but for whatever reason, I can't bring myself to hate the shirt and now I realize that it's large enough that I could probably wear it.
whiirrr *click*

Yay for D'Aulaire's myths!

And yay for how you're going to wear that shirt and post a photo!

[Rusty]

Ha ha! Your kid's a bible thumper. Suck it, Monkey boy.

I must admit though, Norse mythology is a lot cooler than Christian theology. Uhtred almost convinced me to go pagan.

Ha! I'm on the last book now

[Rusty]

Enjoy it. Odin knows when Cornwell will finish the next one.

[Tom]

Have you read American Gods, Oddrun?

[Rusty]

Oh, why does everybody love that book? Good Omens is a much better read, if you ask me.

[Tom]

Contextual, Rusty...on the subject of norse gods.

[smetchie]

I'm pretty sure she's reading American Gods right now. It sent her into a readers block.

[smetchie]

fucking cross post! I'm going to bed.

I don't get why you can't hate vacation bible school. Seems like the easiest thing in the world to hate.

Aaaaah, probably should have picked up on that.

I tried it on.
The commander looked over.
"Quit that! Yer stinkin' it up and yer moobs are stretchin' it out"

After the recital, I'll try and convince her with "Honey I need you to take a picture of me in this shirt...it's for some people on the Internet"

Good Omens sounds a little cutsey; is it?

Bible school = kid out of the house for 1/2 a day.
= no mid-day call "Do you know what your daughter just said to me/did?"*


*Nick, factor this in to any decisions you make

It's like reading any other Gaiman book, except it's funny and the characters are likeable.

Thanks, Monkey. I'm sure your moobs look excellent.

I prefer to call them Mits.

Please cut off the arms and neck and tie it in a knot ala hooters uniforms.

that's only when I want to display the MM&G*

*Moobs, Mits and Gunt.

I know it's not technically a gunt on a man, but nothing else seems to have the same impact.
