CLASSIC Movie

So yesterday at dinner I started singing (what I could remember of) the theme song to "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" *** and my family were convinced that I had made it up (not without precedence, I do tend to make up goofy songs once in a while).

So, I flipped open the laptop and, well, proof that I'm not a creative genius.*****



THE THEME SONG STARTS AT 1:30

So, I've never watched the whole movie.  When I was a kid, really, really late on Friday nights (I think after Kolcheck - the Night Stalker which scared the pants off me) one of the channels ran cult classic movies (okay, they ran movies that they got really, really cheap, I'm sure).  Anyway, even at 12 or 13 or whatever, when the theme song came on and I saw it was, yes indeed, about killer tomatoes, I turned it off...but the theme song clearly stuck...





*** Okay, so all I could remember was the opening line, "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" but, really, if you clicked the link you'll probably be humming that line three weeks from now.  So, um, I'm sorry...

***** Yeah, creative genius might be kinda loosely defined here...

Buzzword Bingo

Everybody has buzzwords - business has theirs, the entertainment industry has a lingo, in sports, and in church work we have ours, too. Dilbert the other day had the pointy haired boss try to lead via catchprhases: copyright Scott Adams I have threatened to make up "Buzzword Bingo" cards for Annual Conference. You know, put words like "Holy Conferencing" and "Inclusiveness" and "Core Value" and, oh yeah, "Jesus" on the card and when you get five in a row you can jump up and yell "BINGO", or maybe "Holy Spirit" I don't know... We're not allowed to play bingo, so we definitely shouldn't yell out that word. Maybe if I had people yell out "Hallelujah!" when they got 5 in a row, the powers that be at conference would just assume that the person was powerfully moved by the point being made.* But we would know - and would secretly give them a prize.** The point being that we like to use the t

B C Comic

So ten years ago Johnny Hart (who died like 4 years ago) ran this strip (click to enlarge): And there's been controversy since.  Okay, I get it.  Hart was a Christian and he expressed his faith in his comic strip - lots of people calling him a fundamentalist...dunno what his particular Christian religious persuasion was - except that his funeral was in a Presbyterian church. So, anyway, it's just clear that lots of people missed the point****.  In fact, Hart himself claimed to be shocked that people thought he was an advocate for  replacement theology  based on the strip...  He could be clever - a 2006 strip that I think has a well played double entendre: (And, for the record, I'm no more or less offended by that than I am by people who use  Fred Phelps  as the posterboy for Christianity - every religion has it's crazy fundamentalists...well, the big ones I know about, anyway...)  Nice double joke on "moon shaped" and bug - Luna-Tic[k] and, of course
