In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that.
Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did.
Then God made the world.
He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet.
Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden.....Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.
Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel.
Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.
One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.
After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.
Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable.
God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments. These include: don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's stuff.
Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother.
One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town.
After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise to me.
After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore.
There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.
After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of The New. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying to me, 'Close the door! Were you born in a barn?' It would be nice to say, 'As a matter of fact, I was.')
During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Democrats.
Jesus also had twelve opossums.
The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.
Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount.
But the Democrats and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.
Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.
Thanks to Erika.
Delightful. Thanks for the chuckles. I think Judas Asparagus was named after a very yummy vegetable. but then that ruins the plot.
ReplyDeleteAmelia, the thought that popped into my mind is that this might make a good memory aid.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love fresh asparagus.
Mimi, have you heard about Jindal's involvement in the so-called tea party protests going on? Little Bobby is helping to foment rebellion, apparently.
ReplyDeleteOf course, our blowfully incompetent government has helped make that possible.
No, I haven't, Mark. So far as I know Bobby hasn't abolished state taxes in Louisiana. Pot - kettle - black.
ReplyDeleteHe'll take any opportunity to be front and center on the publicity stage. Where was he? In DC? The local papers only covered the local protests.
Very funny! I hate asparagus so Judas Asparagus works for me! haha
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I really needed the chuckles today. Many thanks to you and Erika. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteErika and I are glad to oblige.
ReplyDeleteTo me, he was a little more deviously involved than some others.
ReplyDeleteHe sent emails to his supporters telling them where the demonstrations were being held. So, he doesn't make any speeches, doesn't stand in the spotlight as an agitator, but keeps his hands officially clean while rabble-rousing.
I'm sorry. Maybe all this is nothing, but it just makes me burn that these same bastards who told the rest of the US to sit down and shut up because the electorate have spoken now are openly inciting revolt - albeit non-violent . . . so far.
Mark, everything Jindal does is a political calculation. He's not concerned with governing the state. He's concerned about his own political future. If it takes furtiveness, he will be furtive. You can't expect consistency from Republicans.
ReplyDeleteThe tea parties seemed to have pretty much fizzled out. 95% of us get tax cuts with Obama's programs.
One of the things that irritates me is that we do have some legitimate complaints and concerns as tax-payers - none of which are addressed in this neo-con farce.
