Who is your favourite muppet?

Posted on by

Animal! No I’m not talking about somebody you know who you think is an idiot. That would be a whole other blog post. I’m talking about The Muppet Show, one of my favourite programmes when I was growing up. It was a regular Saturday evening appointment for the whole family, and I’m not ashamed to say I really miss it! They just don’t make stuff like that anymore sadly. Jim Henson was a genius.

After getting all nostalgic on Youtube the other night, I thought I’d write this little post.

There were a lot of great characters in the show, but my favourite was always Animal (though Gonzo was pretty cool too!). I mean what’s not to like? He’s a talented musician who is passionate about his drums, an all round entertainer, and sometimes he could even be a teeny bit romantic!

So, who’s your favourite?

I’ll leave you with this piece of genius…

Jesus on a dogs butt

Posted on by

Steffen pointed out a humorous blog post to me today over gtalk, concerning what appears to be an image of jesus on a dogs rear end. It’s actually quite uncanny, you should go take a look.

The picture itself isn’t what prompted this post though, it’s the comments that follow it. Apparently, the mere mention of ‘jesus’ and ‘dogs butt’ in the same sentence is enough to bring out a whole coach load of what I can only describe as christian nutjobs. A few sample comments are below.

Quote 1:

That picture makes me sick! Jesus died for your sins and your saying He resembles a dogs butt! I feel like throwing up but whoever posted that I just want you to know that I’ll be praying for you and He will love you no matter what you’ve done. Thats why He died such a brutal death. For your sins. Please have that taken off the web though. I’d appreciate it sooo much. Thanks

Quote 2:

I dont know what your see there but jesus cannot and i mean cannot be on a dogs but your a sick person. ill be praying for you.

Quote 3:

i am sick to the bone about this picture. i will praye and praye for you. i hope you dont go to hell for this even though you most likely will because your an idiot. you should be so lucky to have someone in your life lovee you like Jesus does. all i can say is repent your sins. as far as i’m concerned you are both the devil and judas them selfs.

I realise that not all christians are such idiots, and there are some more reasoned comments from those with more intelligence on that post. But what is it with these fanatics? Do they really lack that much intelligence? I have absolutely nothing against faith, but blind faith and plain idiocy is something else entirely.

Also, I’m pretty sure that jesus wouldn’t really give a damn if he was able to be seen on a dogs arse or not.

New year, new start

Posted on by

Yeah, I know I’m more than a tad late with the whole new year thing, but better late than never right? (I’ll probably have that saying engraved on my headstone.)

In a number of ways, this year will be a significant one for changes in my life. I’m not going to bore anyone with details, but in the spirit of fresh starts, I’ve been contemplating archiving this blog and starting again. But then again, there’s a fair amount of history wrapped up in it, so I still haven’t decided on that one yet. Not that any of what’s written here is vastly important, but it still spans a fair amount of time.

So instead I’m in the process of reviving an old blog and possibly starting a new one. I haven’t given up on Thought Pixels, but my ‘flow’ has been stifled and I need a change of scenery while I decide what to do with it.

I’m also keeping a close eye on Habari. I may even make the switch here once it’s stable enough.
