Skepchick Quickies, 12.7
- Analyzing how smart men and women think they (and those of the opposite sex) are.
- “It goes without saying; the couple says eating the egg is not an option.” Couple receives a message from God in egg form. (From jes3ica.)
- Three eminent biologists and Growing Pains’ Kirk Cameron weigh in on evolution. (From PrimevilKneivel and Craig.)
- From the front lines of the war on Christmas. (From Mark.)
So its OK to eat Jesus, but not an egg with a wonky cross on it?
“Helping people to perform better increases their self esteem. ”
Too fuckin’ right.
I don’t know about you, but I could go for a holy omelett.
But, I’m going to have to wait until my wife gets out of therapy. Appearantly, she underestimated her intelligence. As long as she’s smart enough when its time to get her @$$ in that kitchen and make me some bacon (or holy omeletts), that’s all I care.
We all know that Kirk Cameron’s time on “Growing Pains”, with that one lady-just came out as a lesbian, has more than prepared him to smack around that “biologist”. What good is book learning anyways. You’re just repeating what others have written. Kirk is WAY smarter than those nerds.
And, by the way, celebrating anything but Christmas is just plain unAmerican. If you don’t want to have a merry Christmas, pack your bags, and get the hell out of this country. Carry yourself on to England, where they have that silly “Father Christmas”. With a silly name like that, no wonder they got their @$$es handed to them in the revolutionary war.
USA! USA! USA!
That vacant, uncomprehending stare in Kirk’s eyes speaks volumes.
I didn’t bother getting a sacred totem this year. I mean, it’s just me there most of the time and, besides, I’d just end up with renewal and fertility needles everywhere.
@Steve: Plastic and storable sacred totems are clearly the answer. =D
Though… fertility needles… might not be so bad…
Poor Jesus.
There he is, patiently waiting in his egg for someone to crack the shell and let him out. The plan was so perfect! He made sure that the egg would be delivered into the hands of a devout couple. He even put a cross on the top so that they would know it was special. And then it all went awry. Beyond all expectation, they decided not to break this one egg open.
So much for the second coming.
Wouldn’t that image on the egg be the reverse interior image of the chicken’s vagina?
@Jon D:
Excellent point there!
Indeed, what’s up with that?
I wonder if self-esteem is another issue when it comes to how smart you think you are, regardless of one’s gender.
Most of my life, I’ve gotten mixed messages.
That’s not a cross on that egg. That’s the Master Sword!
The message is clear: “It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this.”
One of my first friends in college was from Burleson, TX. He used to say, “There ain’t nothin’ to do in Burleson ‘cept f*ck and fight.”
Evidently, he left out, “completely lose touch with reality”.
Oh, and durnett @ #7; that’s COTW territory.
