jesus was black

I saw a whole big display of these new Bible toys at Meijer. Unfortunately they did not have the “Jesus & the Tomb” one, which I’ve just now seen and totally want to have:


“These detailed action figures of Jesus and the angel at the tomb provide Bible storytelling possiblities for home and church school as well as playtime fun. These figures have lifelike features and are fully jointed. Includes a realistic tomb with roll-away stone, angel with wings, and Jesus with nailprints in hands and feet.”

I am going to get this, and I am going to take my sharpie and make Jesus black like he is supposed to be.

I also want the Moses one so I can do my best Charlton Heston impression
LET MY PEOPLE GO!
Of course the best part is what Moses comes with:

“This detailed Moses action figure with burning bush, comes with staff, snake, the Ten Commandments tablets, and the Ark of the Covenant.”

Well, not the Ark of the Covenant of course, since we all know what happens when you look at that

There’s also have a David & Goliath (each sold separately) which I don’t think would be all that much fun, since Goliath would always lose. Anything else would be heresy, of course. There’s also a Birth of Jesus set, which includes (you guessed it) Jesus, Mary, and Joseph—which is what I exclaimed when picking up the package. Someone looked at me weird when I did so, so I held up the box and said, “No really! it’s Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!”

Some things about going out I’m tired of

Some things about going out I’m tired of

  1. Drunk lesbians.
  2. Not being able to drink, so as to be able to drive home.
  3. 4/4 time
  4. Old-ass music
  5. People who take too long at the bar & hold up the line
  6. Skinny boys with their shirts off.

Every now and then I’m reminded of one of the many reasons why I don’t live in Grand Rapids anymore.

sometimes there’s god—so quickly
