For the love of all that is holy, please tell me this is a listener of our show!

Snakes on a van

Thanks to Kurt for the image. Left-handed, even!

The Party in Hell

Posted in trifle on June 4th, 2006 by Michael R. Mennenga

It looks like we may have been one-uped. The Wingin’ It! Pool Party is almost here, but the 666 party in Hell Michigan looks really hot.

Of course, we won’t be there, we’ll be here baking in our own little slice of hell. So raise a glass on 6-6-06 and give a toast to Hell.

Next year, we’ll have the party in Vegas on 7-7-07.

They aren’t geeks. They are historians

Snakes on a Piper?

Posted in trifle on June 2nd, 2006 by Evo Terra

Wes from the Catskills (like lounging on the TV and looking at me with utter contempt?) sent me a link to this story:

Monty Coles was 3,000 feet in the air when he discovered a stowaway peeking out at him from the plane’s instrument panel — a 4 1/2-foot black snake.

An attempt to swat the snake only resulted in it falling to Coles’ feet under the rudder pedals. It then darted to the other side of the cockpit.

No, no, no my good man. Swatting at the reptile is not the appropriate response to your discovery. A simply exclamation will do nicely. Class? Tell him what he should have done.

Update: Tim sent me a link to this story as well, but unfortunately used my SoSF addy which I don’t check as often. 

Trying the patience of your deity: priceless.

Before uttering that prayer to the god of your choice, you might want to make sure you’ve lived up to his/her/its lofty expectations. As this family in Alabama recently discovered:

Worried about the safety of her family during a stormy Memorial Day trip to the beach, Clara Jean Brown stood in her kitchen and prayed for their safe return as a strong thunderstorm rumbled through Baldwin County, Alabama.

But while she prayed, lightning suddenly exploded, blowing through the linoleum and leaving a blackened area on the concrete. Brown wound up on the floor, dazed and disoriented by the blast but otherwise uninjured. She said ‘Amen’ and the room was engulfed in a huge ball of fire. The 65-year-old Brown said she is blessed to be alive.

Thanks for the near smiting, oh lord. I’ll tithe more next Sunday, promise!

In other news, I’m happily re-subscribed to BoingBoing for great little morsels like this.
