Church Twittering

Posted in Makin' the Funny by CThilk on April 30, 2007

Here’s what the world would look like if I Twittered from church most mornings.

7:55: Sitting down. Arranging kids and paging thru bulletin.

7:56: Exit hymn is #710. Does that make this a 7-10 split?

8:00: Standing

8:15: Sitting, singing

8:20: Communion – brb.

8:24: I’m back. Praying.

8:37: Sat down at the wrong time. Now trying to make it look like I needed to fix my socks and standing back up.

8:55: Done. See you twitterites in the gym for coffee.

This will end well

Blog@Newsarama » “Aa-ahhh!!!,” indeed.

The 1980 Flash Gordon movie is getting a decent DVD release at last. Now you can see the Hawkmen dive in digital clarity.

That doesn’t count

Think Progress » White House excludes bomb deaths in casualty counts.

WHAT?! How…I mean….I just…but they…

Wow. Nice when you can just look at a pile of 23 bodies from a bombing and say that they really don’t count.

Giuliani Broadens His Message on Terrorism – New York Times

No Rudy, it’s not that Democrats don’t understand the problems the country faces in defending itself, it’s just that they don’t feel the best way to protect U.S. citizens is to massively piss off the rest of the world.

This is wedged between the seven bowls being poured out, right?

Kucinich Officially Moves To Impeach Cheney | The Huffington Post

How much you want to bet Cheney makes a claim along the lines of Congress not actually having the power to impeach Executive branch officials? Either that or he just hides behind the “How dare you do this to our troops during war time?” line that’s proven so popular with this administration.

I like The Hulk

Film Threat Blogs » Blog Archive » In Defense of Big Green…

hulk.jpgI agree with Felix at FilmThreat. I too like Ang Lee’s big-screen Hulk flick. I think it accomplishes exactly what Lee and company set out to accomplish and is more than a little entertaining. It deviates from the source material no more or less than other superhero flicks (Felix leaves out the fact that no one seems to decry the fact that the big-screen Spider-Man  has organic web shooters) and does stay true to the overall themes of the character. I think I just might pull this out tonight and give it another spin based on Felix’s post.
