You wouldn't want to hear my opinion
Looks like I've come full circle.

That's the end of my diatribe.  Now if anyone at all can explain to me how this is even remotely rational thinking, I'll be in church on Sunday.  ;D
I can't come up with any explanation which calls this rational thinking, but you should go to church this week. It's pot-luck Sunday. (I only go for the food.)

But of course I would.

Of course you can't.   That's because it's simply irrational straight out of the gate. 


I may go for the food, but I'm not sayin' the blessing.  :razz: :biggrin:

You might want to re-think that too. I understand the feller that prays over the vittles gets to be first in line.

You won't have to say the blessing. There are plenty of long winded individuals willing to hear themselves prattle on at these things.

That's why we need to have Locutus do it. He'll be brief. The food will still be warm.

Naw. I'll just go to Bob Evans and skip the fractured fairy tales; thank you very much!  :biggrin:

Bread?  I'm guessing you didn't ever go to one of those churches where the communion wafers are these thin little wafers that stick to the roof of your mouth. Painful memory #23 -- trying to scrape the residue off my braces before I had to smile at the preacher-man.

Favorite communion memory:

My grandparents 60th anniversary. The family had to sit in the front pews. The preacher said, "Take, eat." He put the wafer in his mouth and promptly choked. I mean gagging, snorting, tears and snot running down his face choked! I lost it. Turning to my mother, I said, "I always had trouble swallowing that fantasy, too." Then she lost it. We fell off the pew laughing, and rolled on the floor. The deacons asked us to leave.
