Church News

Who's the wise-ass out there?

And I ask that tongue-in-cheekly because I'm not one to get upset. I got an e-mail today from the National Council of Churches USA. I can only assume that someone was trying to win a prize or something and submitted my name as one who would be interested, unless this is more like a Nigerian money transfer scam or the USBank customer scam (Why they think I'm a USBank customer, I don't know.).

The National Council of Churches wants me to avoid the 10 most violent videogames. I hate to tell the NCC, but the e-mails I get from my dear friend, DT, about his hunting experiences are sometimes more graphic that the Grand Theft Auto games. And although I have not seen it, Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ, I hear from those with strong stomachs, was gruesomely nasty and bloody bloody.

And the NCC is having a contest for Earth Day 2005. I'm assuming the NCC wants some submissions in the form of art, poetry, and prayers, since that's what the e-mail says. I have a poem that I'm writing with a working title "Fuck Fossil Fuels," which I could submit.

My high school English teachers would commend my use of alliteration. Then again, I went to public school. Bummer.

Thats rude though, while I did laugh at this I would never do that to someone. I don't even like giving my email out, let alone someone elses!

LMAO...it wasn't me though. This reminds me of the Saturday morning when The Boy told me he and one of his buddies went to Bakers Square for breakfast. I expressed my shock that they went there and explained I didn't think they served breakfast. About midway through a sentence where he was explaining that it is a common meeting place for breakfast after an early Sunday church service he burst into laughter then said, "Yeah, never mind...how would YOU know that they serve breakfast."

Everybody's a wise-ass.
