Dear Bobby Henderson,
Please find attached photos of the FSM cake decoration I made out of icing sugar. The decoration has raisins as meatballs and dried dried fruit bits as eyes. As you can see in the second photo, it is being worshipped by penguins.
Regards

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American

So you survived the annual drenching then?
Yeah :) I gave the first ~15yo niece who got me the choice of putting her head underwater in the pool herself or having me do it for her. She chose the latter!
Hahahaha. Was quite funny watching her bending over the kiddy pool with her head submerged. She is actually a very good swimmer, as in medals/trophies ect and a lifesaver to boot. Should’ve taken a pic. Fact is I got caught up in the FSM discussion and forgot to take any pics. Lucky they don’t all rely on me anymore for the party pics. They all camera mobiles now, so no problem. The kids have learnt who will laugh when they get drenched and who won’t. I remember a couple of years ago they did it to the wrong person, who was not a happy camper for a few hours afterwards. Xmas day here is a pretty much pool/creek/beach day coz of the heat. Quite refreshing to sit around in wet clothes eating and drinking. I live in sarongs in summer, so no biggy.
“Oh, I always thought that was a womens prerogative. Isn’t it?
“Surely, but I can’t let her know that. She would never forgive me. :) ”

Sounds like my fathers attitude. Too true… too true!

Wow, sounds like fun. Must be nice. It’s bloody cold again here. Didn’t see the sun all day.
I have a niece who just got a water polo scholarship at uni next year. We’re all excited for her.
And I’ll bet you do justice to wearing a sarong quite well. ;)

@ Nikki-”Sounds like my fathers attitude. Too true… too true!”

Great minds think alike. Your father must have been a true gentleman.
“And I’ll bet you do justice to wearing a sarong quite well. ;)”

Oh dear! :)
Perfect apparel for where I live. Jeans in winter and sarongs in summer. How easy is that? The first two things I aquired technical training in were ‘do on your own time’ ones i.e. self employment/hobby/enjoyment. Photography and patternmaking (fashion design).
I can’t imagine how improve on jeans and sarongs though. Simple, comfortable and practical.
Found out after completing training (twice) that great grandfather was Warsaw tailor and that my father had been an avid amateur photographer during enlistment. (including a self taught command of darkroom techniques) Have some handed down B&W photos (for which I have since made negatives) of some of his WWII war pics.
I had undertaken both these pursuits quite a long way away from my family.
Creative pursuits have been my path as well. Too tired to go into it now, maybe next time. Interesting family history, Nik. Something to be proud of.
Got’s ta go. Tomorrow…errmm…today is going to come early.
Have a nice evening/night. Catch you later.

I think sometimes religious indoctrination can be a good thing. My father got his nose well and truely shoved into Catholic religion during his childhood at school he was sent to. I remember when I were were quite young, that the Jehovers came to the door (don’y they always?) and my younger sister answered it. My father yelled out from within the house ‘who is it’ (he’d probably already heard!…as he was quite close to door at time) sister replied and father yelled out quite loudly (sure others in street heard too) ‘tell them I’m not home’ ! hahahaha
Another ocassion, yelled out ‘tell them we have enough toilet paper’! Oh dear! No political correctness in my family when it comes to religion. Bunch of heathens we are, and quite proud of it. Some of other rellies took their ndoctrination a little more seriously though.
Have a cousin my age who is headmistress of Catholic High School. I like her. She doesn’t go there with me! RAmen to her if she should read this. I’m sure she’ll know who I am and who I’m referring to.
I just want to say, that until the more moderate xtians stand up and out voice the fanatics, you are all on the same level in my book. That is how I feel! Social change takes time. Sort it out, without forcing yourselves on the rest of us!
*TOLERANCE*
Learn this word that you preach over and over and over! Apparently????

A cake worthy of His noodlyness.
Let us pray:
“In the name of the Pasta, the Parmesan, and the Holy Sauce.
May the appendage be with you.

Hahahaha…brilliant!!! My father did something similar to a load of Mormons once. Though he was much more dastardly. He invited them in to talk about the jebus and then asked them if they would mind if he cleaned his shotgun while they chatted. Their eyes remained glued on the shotgun as he cleaned away and he calmly debated certain inconsistencies. They lasted all of ten minutes before they had had enough. Never saw them again.
hahahaha…..A copy of the GoFSM would be handy for such an occassion too.
Nikki—”I just want to say, that until the more moderate xtians stand up and out voice the fanatics, you are all on the same level in my book.”

Don’t hold back now, tell them how you really feel!!!
I’m saving myself up for them.

I keep my copy on the lamp table by the front door so it is the first thing someone sees when they enter. Most of my friends have already had an earful and appreciate the joke but can’t be bothered to pursue it further. But a couple have become really intrigued about doing the play thing. I’m on holidays til after the first so I think we may start preparations tomorrow. We’ll see.
“I’m saving myself up for them.”

I’ll be sure and bring popcorn…and s’mores. :)

Oh, and a nice FSM cake!
The one on this page looks good, maybe Beastly Rich could make us some more.
Rum or Tequila?
