YES!!!!

Got my first hit on the search term “sex doll” courtesy of my tiny review of Lars and the Real Girl.

It’s the little things, you know.

And sorry if that wasn’t what you were looking for, web searcher….

Just in Time For Halloween….

I learn my pastor has taken up Twitter. (Sort of. Like his blogging.)

Oh, the horror!

Is it time to examine the mysteries of Rome? I hear they’re getting more open-armed toward Protestants.

Or maybe Canterbury. I already have the Book, after all. (well, the 1928, which is pretty darn close to the 1662).

Either way, all those bibles I have with the deuterocanonicals (Wiki link brought to you by Jim West) would actually get more use, wouldn’t they?

Oh, Horror, REAL HORROR!!!

Now my Student Minister has a blog, too!!!

I Bet This Never Happens to Jim West

I just posted yet another inane comment on a blogger site, using this wordpress blogsite as ID. It came back “Your wordpress credentials could not be verified.”

Too few hits, or too few posts, I wonder?

Or it could be a VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY?

The Apocalypse One Sign Closer: Rick Mansfield Posts His NET Bible Review

This post title is a bit of a tease, obviously. Rick Mansfield, NT theology doctoral candidate, sunday school teacher, and bible collector and reviewer extraordinaire, promised one of his excellent, comprehensive bible translation and edition reviews (check under “Review” for starters) on the NET Bible going on two years ago. Alas, life intervened and he has only finally posted the review this week.  Go forth and read it here.  It is well up to his usual standard.

I note in one of the comments Rick confesses he would now include both the NET and the NRSV in his own Top Ten translations, if forced –at gunpoint, perhaps?– to compile such a list again. I think my subtle psychic influence has been working on Rick, as those are my two favorite translations. The NET 1st edition for it’s excellent notes and the unrivaled NET/NA27 diglot edition, the NRSV for its uniquely broad idea of “apocrypha” and wide acceptance among Christian denominations.

I note also that Rick neglected to mention one NET edition: the NET Bible Synopsis of the Four Gospels, available from Bible dot org and Amazon. I have a copy soon to arrive and am curious to see what it looks like, especially with the Gospel of Mark coming up next quarter in our Sunday School literature.

A Day Late, A Blasphemy Short

So I missed International Blasphemy Day, September 30.

But I was reading The Mormon Mirage, which says lots of mean things about Mormonism’s god and his prophet. Does that count? Howabout watching some James White videos on Islam, since he’s so well known for his PC speech.

Okay, belatedly I’ll say The Mighty Thor wears his hair like a girl and the Pink Unicorn needs a good brushing and horn polishing. So there.

Sticks and stones are dangerous, especially wielded as a rod and a sling stone by a shepherd like David. But words can only increase the lawsuit.

There. Got my Psalm 23 reference in there.

About Memes….

If I was to create my own meme I’d want video of lots of bibliobloggers undergoing the drunk driving test(salty language alert!) from “The Man With Two Brains”.

Jim West’s Future Zombie Holocaust

The world’s number one biblioblogger, Jim West,  really wants his Dead Sea Scrolls Logos database. I quote from a comment in a recent post:

“I’ll wait for Logos. Even if I have to wait till I’m dead.”

Halloween approaching, I immediately imagined a new George Romero zombie film starring the undead Jim West, leading a zombie army in a lurching march from Tennessee to Bellingham, Washington to get his DSS Logos module.

Alas, Romero has already done a version of this film: Land of the Dead, so we won’t be seeing this particular film from him. Too bad, because Romero is known to be generally sympathetic to the zombies.

Now it must be said, I’ve yet to read Dr. West threaten a zombie apocalypse if he doesn’t have his way. On the other hand, I’ve yet to read his theological stance on the zombie apocalypse and it’s relationship to cats, either.

And yes, I’m intrigued to see his reaction to a post about himself that almost entirely cites Wikipedia, as well.

In Really Important News….

Jim West is the NUMBER ONE BIBBLIOBLOGGER. Again. And again. and again. and… you get the point. And if you don’t get the point Jim will give it to you. He’s been working out and gathering an army of buff bibblio-minions.

Nick Norelli received YET MORE FREE BOOKS. UPS is considering abandoning his route to save their aching backs and the world’s limited fossil fuel supply.

Eric Sowell’s Zune HD is acting GLITCHY. How strange for a MICROSOFT product.

Robert Eisenman has magically transformed April DeConick into a CONSERVATIVE. He’s gonna try something easy like changing lead into gold, next.
