Comment I think was made by the creator of the Willow Tree Figures:
About the Willow Tree figurines...don't you get it (obviously not)the facelessness of the figures is the whole mystique, and not in a spooky way at all, contrarily, it represents the common human emotions we all share without a name or personalization...that's simply beautiful! Get a Life!! AND RETHINK THESE DELICATE, EXQUISITE CARVINGS...How can you even think of these as creepy???
Phrase I never thought a fan of Willow Tree Figures would say to me:
Get a life!!
Most unexpected celebrity that commented:
Psalty. Yes, the Psalty. Read one of the last comments on the post.
Favorite reader comment about ways to win the "please turn to" Bible race:
my friend and i totally did this today! she was like "can i have a mint?" and i was like "heck no!"
Best reminder that you, the readers, are funnier than me (sound guy haikus you submitted):
Jayabrams
"Did you turn it up?"
I lie and say "I did not"
we make a great team"
This song should not rock
"Well, I rock it anyway
we make a great team"
Your guitar seems loud"
"I haven't even played yet"
Okay, I just lied again"
Sometimes less is more
"Sometimes I flip you the bird
When you turn your back.
"Did you flip me off?"
"no"... why do i lie so much?
We make a great team.

The guitar was loud?
That's right, he is your husband
Who can't really play
You say it's too loud
He just said it's too quiet
Please make up my mind
Katdish
I run the sound board
And my wife is on praise team
You're gonna hear her
GramCrackers
The band sounds awful
Quick! fix it sound guy. I can't-
talent switch is broke
Darkness
arrive too early
to set this stuff up again
tired of doing this
everything set up
been in sound check for an hour
all sounds perfect now
pastor shows up now
tells tech guy what sounds bad
has no music ear
want to punch in face
because I was up early
just want to sleep in
I LOVE that Psalty trumped Kevin Max. Wonder how Kevin feels about that? ha ha ha!
ReplyDeleteTara -
ReplyDeleteWho I still am deeply indebted to for the usatoday mention, I have to defend Kevin. He never commented on the site. Psalty, however, not only commented, he left his email address. I wrote him.

Those haiku were absolutely hillarious! I think that a great blog will just attract people who can write funny japanese poetry. That's definitely the case here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recap posts. This one was especially valuable.

wow on willow tree person. "common human emotions we all share without a name or personalization"? seriously? and here i thought that everybody was unique and hand-carved, as it were, by God, in whose image we are created.
ReplyDeleteit'd be kind of ironic if, when we get to heaven, God did look like a larger-than-life willow tree doll...
I think you should post about God's Pottery from Last comic Standing because people like them due to the God part of their act and the newly famous song "Jesus Team." That's a good one :)
ReplyDelete"talent switch is broken".......my favorite......
ReplyDeleteBased on the Father Abraham The 2k8 Mix Tape post...
ReplyDeleteI vote for 'Flava In Ya Ear (instrumental)' as the background soundtrack for SCL the Movie.
Hello my name is Roy Karl and I just stumbled across your site while trying to understand my congregation better. It's an internet congregation so what better way to see what they like than by typing in "stuff christians like?" Low and behold I found your wonderful sight. If you are looking for more inspiration about inspirational things check out my facebook page or group Karl Kommunity (friends of Roy Karl). Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteAs a former sound guy I have to take a crack...
ReplyDeletethe lady in front
says it's way too loud for church
my work here is done
Quick, tell Pastor Joe
he can't sing to save his life
ahhh... the mute button
Psalty? That's so cool! I had to go back and read it.
ReplyDeleteAs for the haikus, the one by katdish especially made me laugh, because yesterday I sang with the worship team and, you guessed it, my husband did sound. That has never happened before. I wonder if I was loud? ;o)
And the talent switch is broken thing? SO TRUE. Er, not for me and my worship team, but in general. LOL.
