Since I end up explaining many of my jokes on LOLZIES!!1@!, a friend convinced me to make a preemptive move. It is also because if you see four lines of a joke in one of my comics, there are at least 20 lines if idea behind it that I don't share. Well, now I'll be sharing them all on a wiki I created for LOLZIES!!1@! as an Appendix to the main site.
I've been working on a comic about what to do with Granola people when they die. At first, the gag would have been pretty simple, but the more I thought about it, the more notes it developed. So I wrote this first entry to explore it and to use as a reference for when I make the final comic.
Hopefully this wiki will give me a good outlet as well for some of the longer-form writing I get a hankerin' for now and again, some of which will not ever make it into a comic. In time I hope it will become a robust appendix of jokes and stories for LOLZIES!!1@!.
Enjoy, Etiquette on Funeral Arrangements for Deceased Granolas.
And have a Merry Christmas. |

This morning was my turn to offer a lesson/plan our time together with the church. It went well, but my opening line bombed, when I was sure it would kill.
Me: "Today I will be talking about John the Baptist, which is a bit of a misnomer. [beat]He was actually a Lutheran."
Congregation: *crickets* (two people smiled)
Me: "Nothing? OK, turn to Luke 1."
John's story has convicted me recently in that he takes on no identity for himself. The first chapter of Luke has some really cool scenes in it of John's early life (as early as the womb), but John 1 records a great chat he had with the Pharisee's lackeys about who he was. He never says his own name, just his mission. The more you read about him, the more you realize John doesn't exist, Jesus does.
It's also interesting that he parked himself in the desert, waiting 'til God was ready for him to fulfill the purpose of his life. I either may or may not post more of my notes later. For now, Luke and John hold a very convicting story of one of God's people. Go read it again. |

Anyone have a pressure cooker and any canning equipment they are willing to sell? I'm in the market for a set up for meats, veggies, fruits, anything. |

Nathanael and I were chatting yesterday and imagining how a burger stand outside Vatican City - Burger City - might brand itself. Here are some tag lines I came up with after our brainstorm. We hope to write and record a few radio spots promoting some funny menu items.
Burger City: Like Vatican City, only we find no Biblical precedent for deifying Mary. And we have better burgers.
Burger City: Like Vatican City. We are literally a sovereign nation and crossing our parking lot after hours will be seen as an act of war.
Burger City: Like Vatican City, but with better burgers and fewer crusades.
Burger City: Like Vatican City, only we still sell Indulgences.
Burger City: Like Vatican City, Transubstantiation presents a choking hazard, please sign waiver.
I've also been writing a little more over at thisischarlietrotter.com, so you can check that out if you want. |
