OK, you slackers...nobody else has opened it up, and it appears I missed last call at the other place, so...

The first round is on me!

Dang! Look at the jugs she's got!

(ooops...can I say that here? CLose your ears, Mel.)

[Melethiel]

Heh...I thought about opening it, then decided it was a more a job for you manly types. ;)

Give me the strongest thing I'm allowed to legally have, because Eschatology is a mess tonight. :sick: :P

[Protoevangel]

Some jokes to go with the drinking...

Just don't shoot the beer out of your nose, that would be alchohol abuse!




Two Norwegians walk into a pet shop near Brainerd, MN. They head to the bird section and Sven says to Ole, "Dat's dem."

The owner comes over and asks if he can help them.

"Yah sure, ve'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere," says Sven.

The owner puts the budgies in a paper bag.

Ole and Sven pay for the birds, leave the shop, get into Sven's pick-up and drive to the top of some big cliffs near Brainerd Lake.

At the cliffs, Sven looks down at the 1000 foot drop and says, "Dis looks like a grand place."

He takes two birds out of the bag, puts them on his shoulders and jumps off the cliff.

Ole watches as Sven falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself dead.

Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Ole shakes his head and says: "By yumpin' yiminy, dis budgie jumping is too dangerous for me."


VAIT!!! Dere's MORE!


Moments later Knute arrives up at the cliffs. He's been to the pet shop, too, and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another paper bag in one hand and a shotgun in the other.

"Hey, Ole, Vatch dis." Knute says. He takes a parrot from the bag and throws himself over the edge of the cliff.

Ole watches as half way down, Knute takes the gun and shoots the parrot.

Knute continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body.

Ole shakes his head and says, "And I'm never trying dat parrotshooting either."



BUT VAIT!!! Dere's MORE, you betcha!!


Ole is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Lars appears.

He's also been to the pet shop and is carrying a paper bag, out of which he pulls a chicken.

Lars grasps the chicken by the legs, holds it over his head, hurls himself off the cliff and disappears down and down until he hits a rock and breaks his spine.

Once more Ole shakes his head. "First der was Sven with his budgie-jumping, den Knute with his parrot-shooting ... and now Lars, hen-gliding."


Dats all. Dere ain't no more!

Thanks for the beer Dan. I got thirsty last night and all I had in the house was Busch, but it tasted good anyway. :thumbsup:

this is quite true...I must mention that I'm NOT an Episcopalian...I belong to an Anglican Congregation...1)...it's much closer to my house (2 miles as opposed to 40)...2) when my Pastor mentioned that because CHRIST went on to "other flocks" that means that he went to the Muslims and Buddists and everyone else so we are all brothers in CHRIST...that seemed to be a bit on a side of Christianity that I don't think I want to be on...so...I made the switch...(I didn't go LCMS because I still have a paperwork issue to complete with a certain fraternal organization that I belong to...those endowed (lifetime) memberships are REALLY mudding up the waters...)

[C.F.W. Walther]

Well the wife and I are off to get a steak at a log cabin restaurant overlooking the river. We have something really unique around this area. We're somewhat isolated but our good restaurants are to. We have three that are overlook the river and many that are just out in the middle of no-where. What's really fun is the town picnics that are just about every weekend in the summer time and then the German festivals in the fall. One such town is Frankenstein........yeah rally.....that's the town's name........go figure.

That's weird Hus...as long as you've repudiated your membership, it should not matter to a local LCMS congregation whether the M****s have acknowledged it or not.

Or is it just a personal thing for you? If it's the local congregation, there's some serious error there.

I agree with K here. Most likely, the only thing keeping you out of a local LCMS congregation is you. If any congregation would hold a lifetime membership to anything against you, after you've disavowed it, no matter how much paperwork is left to do, they would be the ones sinning against you and against God.

For your information, when I was a teenager, I swore my allegiance to Satan. Now, do you think that under any circumstance, he would agree to just let me go? Should I just give up on going to Church? Is this "fraternal organization" stronger than Satan himself? Is the servant better than his master? You and I have both been purchased by Christ, and no former fealty or membership can change that fact. If any human tries, they are anti-Christ, and doing their master's work.

[RedneckAnglican]

probably more of a personal thing...until I know for sure I was let go and off the roles I'd feel as though I was hiding something...this is also the reason I couldn't be moderator...

I left it as it was, because I'm used to pivo being all-encompassing alcohol, and that makes for a rather clunky translation. :)

[DaRev]

It is Slovak. I am a pastor in a Slovak congregation.

It means "Give me a beer, please."
"Thank you very much."

I don't know much Slovak at all...

...only the basics. ;)

[Melethiel]

I figured it was Slovak - I know Ukrainian and Russian, so can pick out the gist of most Slavic languages. :P

"Prosim" literally means "I ask", though I suppose the idiomatic usage would be "please"....

[SPALATIN]

We have a happy hour at CTS/FW every Friday in the Student Commons. We call it Gemuetlichtkeit. Most of you German students will know this as the word for Cozy.

Cozy doesn't quite define/translate Gemutlichtkeit [sic], and you're missing and unlout [sic] or two! ;)

There's a good poem at the German singing club I'm a part of that "translates" Gemuthlichkeit, but I don't have it memorized to post it here... :(

The english word "please" has the same root as the word "plead" which means "to ask", so that makes sense.

Can't knock success and intensive marketing--they're the biggest brewer in the world.

Me personally-----I don't like beer even though I've drank my fair share. Actually I don't like hardly any alchohol. After 2 beers I'm ready for a nap. I know that's almost sacrilege in the Lutheran community :)

I worked at Arsenal and Broadway at the "Bevo" plant.

Yep Gus's--just down the block from the brewery at Arsenal and Lynch. Gus's company has been in business since I was a kid if I remember correctly. He supplied a lot of the street corner vedors back then.

If you want to sample culinary delight then "The Hill" is the best place for Salsicca and anything else Italian. I guess if you're familiar with "The Hill" as the longstanding Italian community in St.louyis then you might be interested in this little tidbit. I had some property outside St.louis years ago and wanted to sell it. I got an inquiry from an RC priest. In the course of our conversation I found out that he had been the long standing priest of the RC on the hill. He told me that any one that wanted to buy property there would have to go through him before they were cleared to buy there. Discrimination maybe but it stayed one of the nicest ethnic communities to live ,surrounded by blight for years, with 5 star restaurants to boot.

Oh ya...love "the Hill". Truly a treasure. Had an aunt who lived just down the block from Cunneto's.

Speaking of math wizzards here's a math challenge:

We’re really tired of hearing comments about how dumb people are in Arkansas, and we challenge anyone from another state to take this math exam:

1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10-pound possum.

2. Which of these cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks in your front yard?
(A) '65 Ford Fairlane
(B) '86 Dodge Diplomat
(C) '80 Ford pickup

3. If your uncle builds a still which operates at a capacity of 20 gallons of shine produced per hour, how many car radiators are required to condense the product?

4. A woodcutter has a chainsaw which operates at 2700 RPM. The density of the pine trees in the plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. How many Budweisers will be drunk before the trees are cut down?

5. A front porch is constructed of 2 x 8 pine on 24-inch centers with a field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16 feet. The porch floor is 1-inch rough sawn pine. When the porch collapses, how many dogs will be killed?

6. A man owns a house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average slope of 15%. The man has five children. Can each of his grown children place a mobile home on the man's land and still have enough property for their electric appliances to sit out front?

7. A 2-ton truck is overloaded and proceeding 900 yards down a steep slope on a secondary road at 45 MPH. The brakes fail. Given average traffic conditions on secondary roads, what is the probability that it will strike a vehicle with a muffler?

8. With a gene pool reduction of 7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town which has been bypassed by the Interstate to breed a country-western singer?

I betcha thought that the test was gonna be an easy one, didn't cha? It's okay if ya didn't do all that well. Just goes to show ya there's a hole heap of things that big city book-learning don't prepare ya for in this life.

As an added bonus for taking the "REDNECK MATH CHALLENGE", here's some southerly advice that may come in handy down the road a piece:
Next time you are too drunk to drive, walk to the nearest pizza shop and place a delivery order. When they go to deliver it, catch a ride home with them.

6. A man owns a house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average slope of 15%. The man has five children. Can each of his grown children place a mobile home on the man's land and still have enough property for their electric appliances to sit out front?

7. A 2-ton truck is overloaded and proceeding 900 yards down a steep slope on a secondary road at 45 MPH. The brakes fail. Given average traffic conditions on secondary roads, what is the probability that it will strike a vehicle with a muffler?

8. With a gene pool reduction of 7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town which has been bypassed by the Interstate to breed a country-western singer?

I betcha thought that the test was gonna be an easy one, didn't cha? It's okay if ya didn't do all that well. Just goes to show ya there's a hole heap of things that big city book-learning don't prepare ya for in this life.

As an added bonus for taking the "REDNECK MATH CHALLENGE", here's some southerly advice that may come in handy down the road a piece:
Next time you are too drunk to drive, walk to the nearest pizza shop and place a delivery order. When they go to deliver it, catch a ride home with them.

Aww, I wish I could help you with your Greek, but I don't know that language. I love to learn though and someday I do have a desire to study it :)

Right now, though, I'm trying to begin to learn Spanish. Having had French in high school really helps!

Ah, no...Methinks you need to learn how to read.

It says the first 4 months are FREE, which means that you don't pay for them. The $7.99 is for the remaining 8 months.

Since I can swim in all confidence about a 5th of a lap, I would have had to sit on the bottom for a while to get all clean. :)

someone said they were gonna leave the greek to the greeks, so i suppose that could be me :D yeah, i'm an eighth greek! i pretty much rule solely for that reason. so speaking of greeks, did you know that yanni (that amazing pianist with the sexy long hair) holds a greek olympic record for swimming? i'm not sure what event, but if soomeone finds it and posts it, i'll bring you a prize to the Lutheran CF gathering we have...whenever we have it!

[LilLamb219]

According to a Yanni bio: At age 14 Yanni broke a national swimming record in Greece, and even dreamed of becoming an Olympic swimmer.

Another bio says he broke the national freestyle record. But he didn't actually get to the Olympics.

[RayJGentry]

ok, well it looks like i had my facts mixed up. there you have it folks, he holds a national freestyle record, not a greek olympic one! ok, lillamb, you're officially the winner. someday, i will get you an awesome prize!

ok, well it looks like i had my facts mixed up. there you have it folks, he holds a national freestyle record, not a greek olympic one! ok, lillamb, you're officially the winner. someday, i will get you an awesome prize!

I think you were complaining that we were discussing something that "is not necessary for our Salvation."

But since that was that thread, and this thread is for fellowship, and not debate, have some root beer.

Radidio is associated to beer by default (30 years at Budweiser). I think root beer would do for him. :)

I have been doing some thinking over a beer... or two... or seven... (which might explain a lot...)

There is a common thread (albeit a thin one!) that runs through all who call themselves Lutheran. But there are distinct differences that I have compared to various other Christian denominaltional traditions.

The Evangelical Catholics (Lutheran) are really the Roman CathoLutherans (We've got everything but the Pope! ...and we'll even have him soon...) Or the Eastern OrthoLutherans (all we need is an icon of Luther!)

The ELCA is really the PresbyLutherans... or better yet the UnitariLutherans (We don't care what you believe, we love ya anyway!) Or maybe the EpiscoLutherans (Have Apostolic succession, will ordain)

The LCMS can be called either the Metho-Lutherans (A lot of pomp but it doesn't really mean much) or the Non-DenomiLutherans ("That's Entertainment!")

The Lutheran Brethren could also be know as the BaptiLutherans (Liturgy? We don't need no steenkin' Liturgy!)


Now, before someone gets all bent out of shape, this is meant to be a poke of fun. ^_^ I've even done it to my own particular flavor of Lutheranism (the LCMS God help them!).

If anyone finds this offensive, I will edit it.

[Protoevangel]

You missed the Orthodo-Lutherans.

We're the Evangelical Catholics often mistaken for the Roman CathoLutherans, but don't want to have anything to do with the Pope, because he was a "recent innovation".

Just trying to make sure we're all represented.

I don't know whether Michael attended a Concordia Univeristy, but George did go to Bronxville. I believe thats where he met Justin Vetrano from Long Island.

One day, in a small town the friars were contemplating how they could raise money for the church. After much, thought they decided to open a florist shop and sell and arrange flowers. Now at first, this seemed to work out nicely. However, the other florists in town began to lose business. So one of the florists went to speak with the friars to ask them to stop. He begged and pleaded that since the friars had opened thier shop, all the other florists in town were going under! Everyone wanted to buy flowers from these men of God. But the friars refused to stop; their shop had single handedly given them more money than they'd ever seen and they though God was very happy with their endeavor. Later that evening the florists gathered again and decided drastic measures were necesarry. They called in the toughest man in town, Hugh McGinnis. They paid Hugh a few dollars and he went over to the frairs shop and trashed it and beat them up. The friars immediately closed the shop.

This goes to show you.....

That Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars!

They paid Hugh a few dollars and he went over to the frairs shop and trashed it and beat them up. The friars immediately closed the shop.

This goes to show you.....

That Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars!

Nothing personal, but I think that green tea is something that Yanni would drink. (I hope Ray is not reading this). :)

Radidio is associated to beer by default (30 years at Budweiser). I think root beer would do for him. :)

Thanks,

oh, don't worry Ed, i'm reading it! yanni and green tea, eh? yeah, i can buy it. i hate tea though. except for chai tea. that's delicious. i think spiced chai tea is like drinking Christmas :D

in regads to the ELCA song, i think it was a good move for all them LOL. the national youth gatherings have been huge for the boys of lost ad found, and they are a band afterall. they sell plenty of cd's to us elca'ers, so why not make a song for us...so for those who it makes shudder, just take a deep breath in...it's FOR us LOL

well, i'm gonna be up late tonight kids, so i hope someone is roaming around. lets get some of the other threads going, or make a new one...something deep...probably deeper than i can come up with on my own :D

and btw, i realize that i dug through some old posts...i got lost and found those so needed to comment on them! :P

Hee. I've heard this one before and I love it.

Guys, come on, you know, Smokey the Bear says "You, and only you, can prevent forest fires."

At a Budapest zoo:
PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUITABLE FOOD, GIVE
IT TO THE GUARD ON DUTY.

On the funny/serious note, a good number of Soviet immigrants had no idea what dog food is.
The packaging looked attractive, some pictures of doggies and cats, attractive. The price is excellent.

So, they were eating them and compared to the quality of the former Soviet food - not bad at all. :)

The funny part was that after they found out, some still continued on with the dog food. :)

True story. :)

I think it's a step up from "Puff the Magic Dragon" that's what we always sang at bible camp when I was growing up in the ELCA. I never did figure out the message the counselors were trying to get through to us, but I was always kind of dense on those things.

Looks kind of fun. Probably good to get away from the idea that church is just a bunch of old people who looked like they brough a bag of lemons with them to chant the same things the same way every week.

Not of course that I am saying this was a divine service or anything.

Bridget interpreted your tongues induced florist friars gag.
Chemnitz just dropped it.
I made a deep theological research into deeper crevices of humor to see that when Franciscan friars dabbled in magic, when it was turning black, the devil.
When it was turning to hue, God.
So, when you said Only Hugh can stop the florist friars, I concluded that only God can do it, since Hugh/hue.

Bridget said, you guys have your brains on backwards ... florist friars/forest fires ...

Oh well. ... I'm moving on.
People are talking beer again.

Aha. :preach:

I see a certain gap between "I drink wine sometimes" and "Georgian wines are good".

That gap between "sometimes" and the plural of the latter quote somehow allows from as little as few glasses to few barrels of wine.

And how is it exactly do you reconcile this with that you saying that you are not allowed to drink?:liturgy:

Ray,

Don't you know the power of Tomato Juice? Especially for men. It has Lycopene which is an anti-oxidant that can prevent Prostate Cancer. I have been drinking it for years because I liked it (better than V8 any day) but now I have a medical reason to take it as well.

Prostate cancer is a leading killer of men in their mid to later years. Unchecked it can really wreak havoc on your system. You don't need to drink Tomato juice, but lots of tomato sauce foods like spaghetti or Chicken Marsala or even Pizza can be a good source of Lycopene.

This has been a message of the American Cancer Society :thumbsup:

[RayJGentry]

well, i'm just gonna have to stick with the sauces...cause yeah, i just can't do it. i'll just drink it when i get old, like some of you other guys ;) hehehe

That's true. We might be looking for a new congregation so just for fun I did a search of the local LCMS congregations in the area and only came up with one which is about 20+ miles away...

They only have 30 members too as it's really small... Depending on where you live ELCA congregations are sometimes the only option...
