Note to self, get boots next time, sneakers didn't look so good. Not bad for 1 week of preparation on the FSM!

The parade was boring, but when FSM arrived, the crowd perked up and some people started shrieking with gleee. And I must admit, he was the only reason I stuck around, since I missed him in Fremont.

The Spaghetti Monster float was awesome. The best part was this. The Seattle Fremont Solstice Parade is known for being highly political (aka anti-Bush and even a little smutty). A few dozen naked (well, body painted) bicylists crash the parade every year and people cheer loudly for them. It's a bit of a Seattle tradition. Also, every year 3 or 4 religious zealots come and hold very large printed signs that state things like "God is watching you! Repent! *pair of wide eyes staring at you pictured* and it names a bible verse. The flip side will say something like "God has given you over to your obsession with perversity." Well, this year as the Flying Spaghetti Monster went by, the people holding his tentacles repeatedly poked at the large signs. It was quite hilarious. Hope He makes an appeareance again next year! bl@ster Seattle, WA I was there, as I go every year. The Spaghetti Monster float was awesome.

It warms a body's heart it does. Buddha was one for hanging out under the lotus tree, but he was too quiet. Shiva always wanted to destroy stuff. Jehovah is like a peeping tom, hiding in the bushes spying on you - hoping to catch you doing something wrong. But, the Noodly Master knows how to to get down with the crowds. If you want to feed 100's of people - keep your bread and fishes (although I am rather fond of sushi), give me pasta any day of the week! If laughter is indeed the best medicine, this site and its 'inhabitants' will let me live forever! So far, so good. cheers PC Truly one with His Noodly Peoples! It warms a body’s heart it does.

Now that we have Ben Stein and his hard-hitting documentary on our side, it won't be long before the Supreme Court allows God back into our schools. I'm praying for you all.
