Misdirection. Kid went silent, is no doubt doing all of the things we would enjoy reliving vicariously, and RevDok is keeping a lid on the news that's all over Boise.

Congratulations on your new ministry. I really like the idea of specializing in drunken marriages across the country. It's an overlooked religious need.

On a side note, I have to agree with you on the whole FSM thing. I really liked his early stuff but now that everybody is wearing colanders and dressing up like pirates it's kind of like he sold out. I remember when the Flying Spaghetti Monster was playing the small rooms in Ohio and PA. That was some truly artistic religious mockery. Now that he's getting lots of airplay every suburban housewife has an FSM fish on her car and the mockery has become sooo lame, man.

Hey, we have one of those!

There is no conflict. Atheists don't believe in deities, but there are religions that do not incorporate belief in supernatural beings or deities. Buddhism and Jainism are two notable examples. Also Nontheistic Friends (atheist Quakers) and Ethical Culture and a few others (UFO cults, for instance). A possibly more relevant example for the Wonketariat would be the new religion of Jediism. (Yes, this last one is <a href="http:\/\/www.jedichurch.org\/" target="_blank">exactly what you think it is.</a>)

In a long gone civilization I had a cult of followers myself, even though I am anything but godly.

Splitter. Actually I think that whatever wets your noodle is fine by them.

I always saw it as an oversized yarmulke.

Nobody cares who is officiating at the wedding- the important question is: who's bartendering?

Also too, no need to worry about Kid Zoom until he comes home singing Dusty Springfield songs...

Dok, does this mean we're supposed to refer to your flock of followers as Zoomies?

Mr. Editrix?

I kinda like that...

I'm actually old enough to remember when Asia Carrera was a porn star, back when the porn industry was the leading edge in the development of the new fangled technology called VHS (remember how VHS was going to be the death knell for movie theaters?). Even back then she was known as the hottie with a brain, which just made her that much sexier, IMHO

we'll have to ask Asia where those noodly appendages ended up...

Did you go with the Original ULC in Modesto, or the breakaway cult in Seattle. (Personally, I went with the variant in Elk Grove).

I can actually recommend the "Wedding Kit" book & CD. Using the included excerpts and advice about ceremony structure, I was able to marry two Mormons, in front of a Mormon audience, with a ceremony that never mentioned any religious figure, and I got compliments about it afterward.

Also, if you get the black wallet ID card, be aware that the gold ink wears off pretty rapidly.

but Sun Myung Zoom has such a nice ring to it. Besides, you already have your own media outlet, Teh Wonket Times

Somehow this Editorix, Shypixel, Dr. Zoom story should be on TLC right after the Duggar Drama Hour. It could be a really cool show where they take money from liberals while the Editorix drinks in front of her baby, Shypixel continuously expresses his love, and Dr. Zoom could talk about the big game he bagged in Idaho and brought it to Montana for the hoe-down.
