Just wanted to let you know that we’re doing our part to spread the word…We were on our way to a local Pirate Festival in No. California…it’s not a pirate ship, but it gets us around–oh, and people get out of their cars at stop lights and ask us what the little silver crab guy is all about….
I ordered the gospel of the flying spaghetti monster and sent the glorious word to a minimum security federal prison in Yankton SD. As a token of gratitude one the the guys spent 2 months in his cell crocheting this blanket glorifying the FSM. I put my guitar next to it for a perspective of size. Who says ex-cons can’t be a productive member of our society!?!?!
The holy flying spaghetti monster took control over my body for the last 3 days with one mission: to spread the word!
If I consider the over 100 times he explained the only true religion to the lost souls, the 50 people who touched his holy noodle and convert to pastafarians and the strange but very powerful attraction of his eyes, I would say the mission was successful.
I was inspired by His Noodly Appendage to design a snowboard in honor of the cause. I’ve attached a photo of me that shows both sides of the snowboard. The top sheet is black with white pirate fish at each end. The bottom of the board has the inverse.
This board has already been seen at 39 ski areas in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. I hope to tour additional states and spread the good news worldwide.
Pastafarian Dhreck created this stunning portrait of the FSM built entirely of pasta.
I made a pencil sketch of the outlines of His body on canvas, then glued over these lines with small pieces of spaghetti three to six rows deep to create the basic shape of the FSM. The inner spaces (noodles, meatballs and eye stalks) were made dark with ink before using several kinds of broken down pasta to further fill in the body. This to differentiate the coloring, texture and density of the different body parts/sections and to make sure minimal canvas would appear in the gaps. Finished up by filling in the eyes and background, hiding all mistakes beneath a thick carpet of pasta. Somehow I used a pound of sweet sweet glue in the process.
In total 7 different kinds of pasta were used to create the finished piece. Spaghetti for the outlines, tagliatelle to fill in His noodly appendages, a bit of vermicelli on the eye-stalks, green & orange fusilli for His meaty balls and glass noodle on the eyeballs. Background is filled in with broken down lasagna Verde sheets on the bottom and ground up Chinese egg noodle on top.
I urge everyone to check out Dhreck’s website for more information and pictures.
I must have evangelized a million people up in Madison, WI, this Halloween… :) I made sure to take photos with every pirate I saw, and got lots of recognition!
Huge thanks to Bruce for sending us the photos. I had heard that there were Pastafarians at Apple, and now we know it’s true. Could Steve be a Believer?
We are from Mexico and not the most skilled arts and crafts people, but we wanted to honor the FSM by impersonating him and spreading the word. So, we made our costume and hit the parties. Along the way we convinced super man and wonder woman.
We wanted to share this pictures with our fellow Pastafarians and hopefully spread the word.
RAMEN!!!

P.S. Sorry for the one eye mishap by the way a ID fanatic stole it from us.
I handed out well over 70 pamphlets that night, thanks to your handy tri-fold PDF version! And by loose count, encountered dozens of supporters, a handful of loyal pirates, and only managed to anger one Christian (who was dressed as Caesar, go figure).
Here is a photo of my son Scooter, passing out candy on Halloween. The picture was taken by his wife. Scooter is the one who converted me several years ago
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
