Spam from Jesus
Now I've seen it all. I'm getting spam from Jesus. Maybe it is time to change my ways. Oddly, he's using a Yahoo e-mail account. You'd think he could come up with something more appropriate than aryeh41@yahoo.com. Perhaps jesus@heaven.org or something like that.
Here's what Jesus had to say, under the subject line: The Rapture of the Church
It's Time To Go.
Come to www.katha-donpublishing.com to find out now just why, but how.
When you go to the site, you'll realize Jesus is still pissed at Bill Clinton, and Our Savior is not much of a grammarian. I'm not surprised by the former, but I really thought Jesus would be a stickler for spelling and punctuation.

My vote is for Jesus as a bad speller....
....cause the Devil's in the details.
Give Jesus a break. He was a carpenter, not a Talmudic scholar, which means in this day and age he would be working at a construction site with guys who drink Schlitz by the case and think Motley Crue rocks, dude.
Posted by: Leanne at August 6, 2004 2:05 PMAre you implying Motley Crue doesn't rock? Blasphemy!
Posted by: Benz at August 7, 2004 10:44 AMI had a Motley Crue tape (Shout at the Devil) in my '72 Cutlass when I was 17 ('84), along with (get this): Hank Williams Jr.'s greatest hits; Prince (1999); Charlie Daniels Band; Lynard Skynard; The Time; The Gap Band; Def Leppard; Judas Priest; Eddie Murphy (comedy tape); Bill Cosby (comedy tape); and Journey.
I also worked construction for a while (also after graduate school), but my cheap beer of choice was Wiedeman (sic)...
...and I, er, turned out ok (ahem).
Posted by: Chris S at August 8, 2004 4:12 PMryck works construction and has fairly decent grammar. he also prefers yuengling to schlitz and hillbilly music to head-banging. what would jesus drink? i think that he would drink good beer but in moderation. perhaps a porter...
Posted by: jo at August 8, 2004 7:57 PMBut Ryck has a darker side that you're trying to hide, jo. We all know he's one of the key participants in that new CD that's coming out in September: "Fiddle at the Devil: A Bluegrass Tribute to Motley Crue."
As for what Jesus would drink: Iron City, of course. But I suspect he'd turn it into Anchor Steam first. What else would you expect from a blue collar god?
Posted by: Benz at August 9, 2004 7:48 AMWow, I'm trying to imagine what the bluegrass version of "Girls, Girls, Girls" will sound like.

fortunately (for the sake of this discussion), hubby-dude doesn't play bluegrass fiddle. now, if someone could just figure out how to do it southern appalachian style...
ryck did play some zepellin (with his teeth!) on his fiddle this past weekend. that shaffer boy is a bad influence.
Posted by: jo at August 9, 2004 3:05 PMi can't access the site, bob. does that mean that jesus doesn't love me?
Posted by: jo at August 11, 2004 9:17 PMLove the new design, Bob.
Posted by: Howard Owens at August 13, 2004 1:31 AMThanks. I like it, too. It was done by a friend of mine and sometime poster here, Chris.

Give Jesus a break, Bob. He was just a carpenter, the sort of guy who in this day and age would work at construction sites with men who drink Schlitz and think Motley Crue rules.
