How many of you are faithful followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

"What's that you say?" Well, lemme inform you. And here's the Wiki explanation.

I want a sign like the one in this icon to stick to me car. Want it, want it.

I want it too. That's just awesome.

Not in their store, alas. Someone needs to make it. Anyone out there have this skill?

Did you see the FSM in today's local paper?

That is so awesome that I've changed my opinion of the paper I once called "The Urinal World."

Like Neil Gaiman's Sandman, I am of all faiths, in my way.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster gets a big thumbs-up.

I like the Wiki note (under the picture): "is typically depicted"...HA!

Did you see this letter to the editor in the J-W a couple of Sundays ago? Yes, that was THE Paul Ehrlich!

I support the questioning of wild bullshit to counter the crap the fundies are putting forward, wanting to spend tax dollars to suggest mythology is reality... but if you put this on your car, you are asking for it to get key'd or worse. Fundies have no sense of humor, and will generally take pleasure and feel justified in acting cowardly against things with which they disagree. I feel a rant coming, but I'll keep it to my own journal...

Coooooool!

True dat. Even here in oh-so-polite Seattle, I've heard a number of stories of people's Darwin fish getting ripped off their cars. Somebody tried to remove ours from the truck but succeeded only in breaking off the top half of the tail. Joke's on them, because it actually looked more Darwinian that way.

Chris, do you think it would go over better in your college town?

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Well, the problem is that the fundies in Lawrence tend to be kids: People who settle here are grown-ups who enjoy the liberal atmosphere of town... well, or are recent transplants from Kansas City who want to live in a pretty town and don't mind the commute. However, college kids are just as likely - if not more so - to be convservative than grown-ups, what with not yet having heard a variety of viewpoints.

And kids are a lot more likely to vandalize stuff - remember the scooter-thrown-off-the-railing incident from last year? Happened on the same night Bushites were chalking Bush-support slogans all over the sidewalks. Coincidence? I think not.

So, I'm guessing an FSM "fish" wouldn't last long in this town, either. But I'm sure He would approve of vandalizing his idolic image, so it works out. They who serve His anarchic desires also serve, like that.
