Nope, but you've peaked my interest.. what is this Giant Flying Spaghetti Monster you speak of?

Anything that enigmatic-sounding is worth learning more about...

Spill, Glammaman.

All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

It's time for true believers on don their pirate outfits and proclaim their devotion to The One True Monster.

May you be touched by his noodly appendage.

Not to make a pesto of myself, but I heard that Al Dente is behind the whole thing.

(I hope the new Pope isn't planning any spaetzle response to this new threat.)

Dude, don't be a meatball. That's really limp humor. Try using your noodle next time

I understand that the Vatican is issuing an Encyclical about the "Gluten Free" Heresy.

--Also, they will be excommunicating Glammaileo for his failure to reject the "Moon in the sky----it's a big pizza pie.." theory.

--In a related story, President Bush announced the formation of a Commission to teach "Intelligently formed Pasta" in the schools...

...while his brother, Governor Jeb Bush, announced he was reopening the investigation into the death of Terri Schiavo, citing new reports that her husband may have belonged to a cult worshipping Lobster Fra Diavolo.

If I knew how to post a direct link;I could simplify all this,but I don't.The Flying Spaghetti Monster was conceived by a guy fed up with the Topeka,Kan.school board"s pushing to teach"intelligent design"in the schools.He intends to sue them if they won't allow the"Flying Spaghettimonster"theory of creation to also be taught.The NYTimes had a very funny article about it in the Mon.29 edition.The cult is evidently very big in Germany.I'm thinking about converting.

deetrakt · #10 September 1st, 2005, 08:33 AM

...all that information and more was provided via O'melissokomos' post earlier in the thread.

BTW, sorry about your excommunication. I had no idea until Mdlifter informed us.

Any puns for us? They seem to be a major feature of the Spaghetti phenomenon.

I think Court TV has petitioned to air the ACLU's intelligent design case, scheduled for trial in September. Our lead attorney on the case is really cute -- not a bodybuilder but a soccer player with a nice body and really muscular legs. Nice guy too.

..or any attempts at ridiculing our Divine Lord Spaghettimonster;His active Spirit in the world;the Holy Spiedini;or His Blessed Mother,the Extra-Virgin;Olive Oyl.Ramen.

(Spaghetti,Spiedini&Olive Oil)shall neither be questioned nor doubted.Sfinge.But to the unbeliever;hear now the Word of the Spaghettimonster!"Though you do not believe;your God is a loving God&a forgiving God!(tasty,too!)Therefore;your sins,though great,shall be punished thusly:thou shalt be sauteed with garlic&onions until transparent.Then a little chopped Italian parsley.Great thanks to His Pastificence!,thou shalt be removed from the heat.In honor of the free will that is your Divine Gift!;you get your choice of sauce.Chopped tomato&basil,heavy cream&locatelli,putanesca(you dawg!),bolognese(for you juicers);whatever.Lastly;THOU SHALT BE JOINED UNTO THE PASTA ITSELF!Thou&the Godcarb art one!"In the Name of the Spaghetti,&the Spiedini,&the Olive Oil.Mangia.Ramen.

...Molto penne (I mean bene). Pasta (I mean basta).

Mama mia, that's a spicy theology.

Prego!

Intelligent Design holds "that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection."

According to this thread, that designer is the living pasta and the universe is the result of gastric distress.

ohhhhh... this explains so much....

but G-man, didn't anyone ever tell your diety not to shit where it eats!

Is "intelligent design" the reason that man seems to have a recreation area right next to a waste disposal plant?

kinda. it is the reason the pet walking area is in the same spot (or next to) the picnic area on the turnpike.

glammaman2000 · #19 September 2nd, 2005, 10:29 PM

...is the reason we currently have a president who CAN'T FORM A COMPLETE SENTENCE WHILE READING A TELEPROMPTER!(is someone intentionally writing gibberish for this man?)So,of course he supports intelligent design.Anybody remember when it was,"Work hard!Study hard&someday you could be....!...oh,never mind."

deetrakt · #20 September 3rd, 2005, 04:52 AM

Actually, Bush's ascendancy is perhaps the best evidence of the validity of the Spaghetti Monster theory. Neither natural selection nor intelligent design could possibly explain it, but a world crafted by an out=of=control noodle? Maybe. Also Britney Spears, Andrew Lloyd Webber and so many others.

glammaman2000 · #21 September 3rd, 2005, 08:55 PM

...Chief Justice William Rehnquist just died.That means the current Pinhead-in-Chief gets to pick TWO new Supreme Court justices!!!Could this be a sign of the Apazzolips?

Gene · #22 September 4th, 2005, 07:14 PM

The reason we have a pinhead for President is simple. Democracy. We finally elected the common man. Mirror mirror...

glammaman2000 · #23 September 6th, 2005, 07:14 PM

...has just announced that he will PERSONALLY head a commission to look into the problems with the response to hurricane Katrina.&I can PERSONALLY guarantee he will find that it's not his fault.

deetrakt · #24 September 7th, 2005, 04:49 AM

Just so long as he doesn't try to nominate Katrina for the second Supreme Court opening. Yes, she was a strong, independent, aggressive woman. And, yes, there is precedent (Clarence Thomas) for nominating an angry blowhard to the Court. And, yes, it would make things easier for him to cut down on the number of names to be pronounced and remembered.

But, really, is it too much to ask that all justices be human, have a first AND last name and be living at the time of their nomination? I think not.
