Church Bulletin Bloopers

Once again the Church Bulletin Bloopers are back…These are awesome:

- Ushers will eat latecomers.
- She sang “I Will Not Pass This Way Again,” giving much pleasure to the congregation.
- Sermon this morning: Jesus Walks on the Water. Sermon tonight: Searching for Jesus.
- The patient is having trouble sleeping and requests tapes of Pastor Jack’s sermons.
- Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say “hell ” to someone who doesn’t care much about you.

- A letter to the men’s fellowship reads: “All members are requested to bring their wives and one other covered dish to the annual banquet.”

Valor (Courage)

The car you see in the picture (click picture for better detail) is a Geo Metro, a subcompact car very very tiny. The car shown is pretty much beat up all around, the car is literally falling apart, you can notice how the trunk is kept together with bungee cords. I see this car almost every day in my daily commute and it always makes chuckle because of its license plate. The Spanish word “Valor” can be translated into English as Value or Courage. I personally believe they mean it to be Courage, why would you pay $5o for a personalized license and put Value on it?
So Courage the courageous car always makes me laugh because there is this tiny Geo Metro falling apart with a license plate that says Courage (or Value), it’s funny. Either the owner (we assume is Mexican) has a great sense of humor or a lot of Courage. Or maybe the car is of a lot of Value for him.
By the way, avoid at all cost to take a picture while driving a manual shift car on the highway during rush hour, it is absolutely insane. I always get upset at people who drive and speak on their cellphones, I can’t imagine all the things that were said to me while taking a picture of Courage.

Rodrigo Y Gabriela Rocks

The other day I was watching MTV at a friend’s house (we don’t have cable at home) and I noticed every commercial was preceded by a short clip of a couple playing amazing classic guitar. That couple was Rodrigo Y Gabriela. To my surprise I just found out they are Mexicans and their style is very unique, it sounds like rock but on classic guitars and with a touch of flamenco. It’s kind of a weird sound but it is really good. So if you enjoy classic guitar you will definitely like Rodrigo Y Gabriela.

Safety Tips for the Post-Nuclear Existence

In case you didn’t know

—————————————-
Safety Tips for the Post-Nuclear Existence
1. Never use an elevator in a building that has been hit by a nuclear
bomb; use the stairs.
2. When you’re flying through the air, remember to roll when you hit
the ground.
3. If you’re on fire, avoid gasoline and other flammable materials.
4. Don’t attempt communication with dead people; it will only lead to
psychological problems.
5. Food will be scarce; you will have to scavenge. Learn to recognize
foods that will be available after the bomb: mashed potatoes,
shredded wheat, tossed salad, ground beef, etc.
6. Put your hand over your mouth when you sneeze; internal organs will
be scarce in the post-nuclear age.
7. Try to be neat; fall only in designated piles.
8. Drive carefully in “Heavy Fallout” areas; people could be
staggering illegally.
9. Nutritionally, hundred dollar bills are equal to ones, but more
sanitary due to limited circulation.
10. Accumulate mannequins now; spare parts will be in short supply on
D-Day.

Small Coffee Pot

I remember the good ol’ days of peer pressure at school, I’m pretty sure most of us did stupid things trying to be in the “In” crowd. Although this time is not really the same it kinda’ reminds me of those days of peer pressure.

The other day when we had people over, after enjoying some delicious lamb chops I asked our guests if they would like to enjoy some fresh brewed Venezuelan coffee, obviously the answer was yes. Turns out we have a small four cups coffee maker, which I thought would take two pots to satisfy everyone’s caffeine needs, eleven people…errr…WRONG. Now, this is a good time for a little cultural comparison; if we would have been all Venezuelans two four cups pots would have been enough…yeeah…not the same here. I was barely able to pour coffee for two when my little pot ran out. So, needless to say I had to make like five pots before it was enough for everyone, me and my little coffee pot were the joke of the day.

You might be wondering why we do we have a four cups coffee maker, well, we really don’t need a bigger one because we don’t drink coffee at home and we barely have people over, so the expense is not really justified (call me “el cheap-o”), we even have a espresso machine we got for our wedding and we have only used it twice.

Skip to the next day, I don’t know if it was coincidence or what, while reading through my reader’s feeds I get a deal thanks to Spoofee: ten cups Cuisinart coffee maker for $10 after $10 rebate; well, in less than what you can say “1-2-3 Karate Kid” I bought a new coffee pot…I mean, a deal like that justifies any expense!

So everyone is welcome to come to our house and have some nice Venezuelan coffee. Maybe next time I will use both coffee makers and the espresso machine at the same time…call it my own little coffee shop.

Speed Racer: The Movie

Speed Racer is definitely my favorite cartoon hero ever, although it is a cartoon from the 60’s, I think it’s one of those that will never go away. I pretty much grew up watching it every afternoon as he would race through the hardest circuits against the most evil racers. The Mach5 is a car like no other, with all the special functions on the steering wheel that car can take you anywhere. My favorite buttons are A, C and G which sends the bird robot, man that bird comes in handy sometimes…(sigh) good memories. So, I just found out that Speed Racer: The Movie is on the making (YES!) and it is being directed by the Wachowski brothers, you might remember the Wachowskis from The Matrix and V for Vendetta, so that’s just a big sign that the movie it’s going to be just great and full of amazing special effects… The movie is set to be released on May 9th, 2008. I can’t wait!

YouTube? No, GodTube!

GodTube is a very good alternative for Internet video addicts whom are worried about the not so clean videos you can stumble upon on sites like YouTube or Google Video or else. Yep, you can find funny stuff, a lot of religious content, of course, and it wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t have some people preaching really weird things. It’s a pretty cool initiative, hopefully it will become pretty popular.
