Commentary, news, and rants on the evils and stupidity of belief in the big invisible daddy in the sky. Illuminating and watchdogging the widespread attempts to institutionalize the theocratic rule of the US. Making fun of believers everywhere.
Naomi, Johnny likes men, like me. How do I know? Because he is hot, and God has told me that He created all hot men gay (because He is gay, too). Some of them just do not know it yet, and it is my God-assigned mission to make them see the truth.
I am sure God put you in my way so that I would find out about Johnny’s existence. Thanks for that.
LOL! Funny video, but
Naomi and Zipi, this Jeebus is frightening. He looks like a common thug with more muscle than sense. You might consider re-evaluating what you find sexy.
You might consider re-evaluating what you find sexy.
I rather fancy Julie Wittner myself, but then there’s no accounting for taste.
And Zipi, you’re tight, ‘God’ is gay, and I should know, because a senior Catholic priest told me so, when he tried to convince me that I should play with his organ.
As for you, Revenant, saying that you’re not hot - stand closer to my bonfire of theists, and that’ll soon warm you up.
Zipi: I yield the field. Erm…I was only dreaming anyway. Johnny is now an outed atheist, if not an “out” gay, both of which are sexy, in my book.
Bernarda: I found this on Stalin’s Crayon, a very edgy adult blog. I probably would have gone even deeper into his site–but when I watched this, I grabbed it and ran home to GifS-House! (Ordinarily, I wouldn’t search Y-T for “WWJD”, suspecting I would get too many fundie sites–not the “Fundie Funnies”.) Thanks for the link!
Lynda: I admit that I find the bad boys (who look hot) just as exciting as the boys with haloes (as long as they’re hot). While I never saw what my BFF Cindy saw in Elvis, I was only being a “contrarion” by choosing Pat Boone. But “hot” as Sawyer (on LOST) is, I “lust” more after Jack. Jude Law–no; Clive Owen-YES! Hell, I even adore Kevin Spacey!
So I’m all over the map. Perhaps, someday, I’ll study myself and see what this all means.
Back to the video (and aside from the flag-draped hot Johnny/Jeebus!), two images pop into my mind immediately: J/J reclining in the pickup bed, sipping Jack Daniels, and J/J aiming a Smith&Wesson at me…
And Zipi, you’re tight, ‘God’ is gay, and I should know, because a senior Catholic priest told me so, when he tried to convince me that I should play with his organ.
Tried to pull a Dr. Phibes on you eh? Hopefully you kicked him in the happy sack.
As for you, Revenant, saying that you’re not hot - stand closer to my bonfire of theists, and that’ll soon warm you up.
Wait! I need to go get a truckload of marshmallows and wieners!
You type it twice–once at the beginning and once at the end. At both ends, you surround the word blockquote with these <>around the first BQ. The second/end set includes a “/” before the blockquote.
But then, you may already know this , since you italicize just fine!
“Speaking of sex…”
I have a basic question regarding ‘boning up’ on basic Site techniques.
Yeah, leaving the subject of abs, for the moment…
or, in MY case…perhaps…for the rest of my futile…melon impoverished…days?
I undress…I mean…digress!
I’ve many times, since I started commenting here at GifS, wondered about the rules & techniques for posting; and for that matter, more sophisticated commenting…erm…like the blockquote shtick that Naomi recently demonstrated.
Youse guys…especially those of you who have their own Blogs…seem to have an ‘occult-like’ knowledge and facility that is beyond those of us who don’t.
I’ve been, somewhat seriously, albeit, quite fearfully, ‘contemplating’ the possiblity of an online music lesson Site; but for the here and now, I’ll just stick with more info on the GifS associated basics.
Is there a pdf file or whatever for off-Site ‘homework-like’ study? The Wordpress info seems overly complicated for very simple stuff like blockquotes, etc.
Maybe: “Commenting for Dummies!” or “Posting for Complete Idiots!”…or…
“Don’t Bother, Dummy…Just buzz Off!”, might be in order?
Thanks, in advance, for any help!
“What’s that, Eve?…Karen?…?…
I’ve been very naughty?…I should stay after school?
Coitenly!”
Maybe we can sneak that video onto a NASCAR pre-race show. Half of America wouldn’t be able to tell the difference until about three-quarters of the way in.
That’s what makes it so devious (Satan laugh - ha ha HA.) Half of America’s height of intellectual stimulation occurs on CMT. It’s the perfect plot. The atheist wedge document er… video (Satan laugh ibid.)
However, we might have to have the following disclaimer: “No ID’ers were harmed in the video.”
But I might have to go with an ID argument here: that blond was surely designed.
I’ve just posted a reply to Chuck with links for him re building HTML and websites, but suspect that it’s been gobbled by your site gremlins. Can you please rescue it and publish it for Chuck’s sake - if there is no trace, please let me know and I’ll dig out the links again for him.
Now another post of mine has vanished into the ether with links for Chuck!
Are we being attacked by theist trojans or whatever?
TOG — rescued…
I think the filters are sending stuff with multiple links to the moderation queue. When links are embedded into words, then it seems fine, but when they are copy and pasted, the filter sends them to moderation.
I must say, I’m not surprised at all by your very generous and timely helpfulness, Old Git, and Stardust.
You guys are great! Thanks, so much for your time and effort.
I linked to those Sites, Old Git, and bookmarked them in a nice convenient…easy to find…folder.
No excuse now, huh?…
But I coitenly have my work cut out for me. Of course…there are some questions [if I decide to go forward with the idea], like the appropriate server/costs/payment methods; and in my particular case…music instrument instruction…obvious logistics. My multiple decade, in-studio, experience was in 1/2 hr. lessons; one-on-one. [I have done some checking of other teaching sites, by the way.] Doing it webcam style has its own unique challenges. The telecommunication ADVANTAGES, of course, are similar to some recently discussed stuff:
No travel problems; much more variable schedualing; file (even .mpg, etc. video) sharing; more hygienic? yada, yada.
Speaking of hygienic; I used to have students [on various instruments] coming into lessons with colds, etc…no kleenex or hanky…all because their parents didn’t want to cancel for fear of loosing the lesson money. Needless to say(?)…I learned to be very cautious about the hand to mouth dangers…and to ALWAYS have a box of tissues handy! By the way; for those of you who may have been brought up by mommies who always supplied you with neatly folded, even, IRONED handkerchiefs…am I the only one?…I suggest a more practical substitute: “Viva” brand [in America] paper towels. There, soft, cloth-like, even ‘rewashable’!
SEE?…yet another…completely off the posted topic…comment!
What’s that!…”SHEESH?”
It’s afternoon here; but I think I need another cup of java!
Anyway…
Thanks again, Old Git, Stardust…and whomever…for your kind help!
I linked to those Sites, Old Git, and bookmarked them in a nice convenient…easy to find…folder.
No excuse now, huh?…
None, mate. On the strength of those sites I built 2 separate and quite complex websites that I had to submit for two separate examinations, and I passed both of them no probs. If a geriatric like me can do so - with at that time only 12 months computing knowledge (I’m now a veteran of 36 months, lol), you can too. (Chuck, does that sound like I’m blowing my own trumpet? )
Actually there’s tons of free info out there, and though I’ve discarded most of my links, a Google search will produce them for you.
Thanks for response, Rev, but my fault for not being sufficiently specific.
You quoted address as ‘blah “rant-rant”blah’ but browser shows it as ‘blah”rat-rant”blah’. There is a difference in these terms (’rat’ is not = to ‘rant’). If I ever want to email you, should I use the word ‘rat’ or ‘rant’ in the appropriate place in the address?
Thanks, very much, Revenant, for your ‘info’…and your offer.
I’ll certainly keep that in mind. I may just contact you to say hello and to reciprocate ’same’.
All kidding aside, I realize how important it is for all us GifSters to keep our really ‘vital’ info…
as private, and protected, as possible!

A suggestion, at Youtube type in “what would jesus do” for lots of fun. For example.

Chuck,
If an old duffer like me can learn the rudiments of building websites, smart young things like you certainly can do so.
Here are some of the sites I found most useful:
*Dave Raggett’s Introduction to HTML
* The W3 Schools free tutorials on building websites, HTML, CSS, and everything you’ll ever need.
* Arachnophilia - a free software app for building your own websites.
Start with those, but if you want any other info, come back to me, and I’ll do what I can to help.
19 February 2007, on 6:37 am
Dear Mods,
I’ve just posted a reply to Chuck with links for him re building HTML and websites, but suspect that it’s been gobbled by your site gremlins. Can you please rescue it and publish it for Chuck’s sake - if there is no trace, please let me know and I’ll dig out the links again for him.
TIA,
TOG
19 February 2007, on 6:41 am
Chuck,
Just to keep you going until my original post is rescued, try these tutorials…
http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/
And this free website building application…
http://vps.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/
The latter is worth taking the trouble to learn, as it makes life much easier, though you can code everything in Notepad if you wish.
19 February 2007, on 6:43 am

Hey ChuckA. I haven’t followed all these discussions. But if you need web server space, I can give it to you, free of charge as a fellow GIFSter.
Email me off list at revenant at rant-rant dot com. Please put, in all caps “NO SPAM” in the subject line somewhere so it will come through ok.

Revenant,
Your website address comes up in my browser as revenant at rat-rant.com - which is correct, that, or the version given above to Chuck?
