Dear Yellow Cab People: About that Cab Work-Out Video Playing in My Cab Yesterday

Dear Yellow Cab People:

I loved the video playing in my cab yesterday to instruct me on how to do a work-out while riding in a cab. I really did.

"You Can Lead a Man to Congress": Gorilla Pig on Current U.S. House Leaders

And for an end-of-week laugh, this graphic from the Facebook feed of Gorilla Pig . . . .

Dogs Who Committed Voter Fraud on Tuesday

And to offset my political-religious blathering with a bit of levity: Jason Gilbert's shocking rogues' gallery of dogs convicted of voter fraud on Tuesday.   In case you missed this on election day itself . . . .  I find the sassy minx who's #7 in the line-up especially reprehensible, as she attempts to commit double fraud.  

End of Week Levity: Monkeying Around with Jesus

In Spain near Zaragoza, artist Cecilia Gomez tries to repair Elias Garcia Martinez's "Ecce Homo" painting in a local church.  And, unfortunately, fails.

Just a little bit.  So that local punsters are now calling "Ecce Homo" "Ecce Mono"--"behold the monkey."

And now I'm left wondering: next time I see the face of a monkey burned into a slice of toast, will it be Jesus I'm seeing?

Pepper-Spraying Everything: Know Your Meme

Much of what I'm posting right now will be old news to those who were online in the past two weeks, while I was traveling and deliberately fasting from blogging.  But in case any Bilgrimage readers missed this delightful tidbit by Abby Zimet at Common Dreams a week ago, I thought I'd point to it today.  It's called "Pepper Spray Cop Out."

Dogpa, Church, and Beer: End-of-Week Humor

And on the lighter side as the work week ends:

I had missed TheraP's brilliant Heresy & Humor posting back in April about dogpa and zero nuns, and am glad she pointed me to it in a comment here earlier this week.  I love the totally whacky, but seemingly tightly reasoned, way TheraP arrives at her Vatican-like conclusions about why nuns = zero:

Papa Bile and My Automatic Correction Minx

I mentioned in a previous posting that the computer I have now had from several weeks before Christmas came equipped with a devilish fill-in-the-blank feature that often changes words I type, with nary an indication to me that it is doing so/has done so.  I called the program a sly little minx in that previous posting, and I'm sorry to have to report to you that she continues to prove herself absolutely capable of slyness.  And minxiness.  

My Very Odd Birthday: A Trew Story

I knew it was going to be an odd day when I saw the leopard-skin high-heeled shoes coming across the floor.  Rather, I heard them click-clacking on the linoleum and then tracked the source of the clicks and clacks.

Who Has Known the Mind of the Corgi, and Who Has Been Her Counselor?

Scripture asks, "Who has known the mind of the Lord, and who has been his counselor?" (Isaiah 40:13, echoed in Romans 11:34).  And it also wonders who can understand the human heart (Jeremiah 17:9).
