The newest online time waster ... Awkward Family Photos!!!

Say "CHEESY"!

This clip is from the beginning of Morgan Spurlock's movie, Where In the World is Osama Bin Laden?. I love their special 'moves': "Redneck Power", "Turban Power", "Moustache Ride" and "Rain of Terror".



I found out this morning that FX has cancelled 30 Days: I hope they still release the final season on DVD.

I found out about these new Evangelical Lutheran Church of American ads through my youth Sunday school curriculum:

TEN REASONS WHY GAY MARRIAGE IS WRONG

1. Being gay is not natural. Real people always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.


2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.


3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.


4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.


5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.


6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.


7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.


8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in the world.


9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.


10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Today, as I searched Facebook, I got this message:

Make sure all words are spelt correctly.

"Speak for yourself!" I thought.

Once a farm girl, always a farm girl ...

spelt: a wheat, Triticum aestivum spelta, native to southern Europe and western Asia, used chiefly for livestock feed

However, I learned that the verb "spell" has two acceptable forms of the past participle in both American and British English: the irregular form ("spelt") is supposedly more common in British English and the regular form ("spelled") is more common to American English ... although, not for me.
