One day they're going to hear that Garrison Keillor has been making fun of them all these years and the men's group of the Lutheran church is going to get together and give him the asskicking he so richly deserves. <BR/><BR/>But maybe I'm a little angry that way. <BR/><BR/>I don't know. Something about the style of his jokes irritates me. Like the thing PowderBlue quoted. It just made me imagine a guy saying it then standing back "See! I said a funny thing! Isn't that a clever little funny thing I said?" expression on his face, waiting for me to chuckle politely. <BR/><BR/>CCChalicechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781469958573869914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1155861534733367492006-08-17T20:38:00.000-04:002006-08-17T20:38:00.000-04:00Keillor also wrote a beautiful piece about Unitari...Keillor also wrote a beautiful piece about Unitarian women, basically explaining why we're the hottest women in America.<BR/><BR/>I think "Prairie Home Companion" has become cloying and dull, but I think his response to Olav is hilarious and charming. Not to mention right on.<BR/><BR/>UUs who herald the "UUness" of our ancestors with one breath while dissing Christianity with the other are much bigger jackasses than Garrison Keillor will ever be. At least he accurately lampoons us.PeaceBanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431551457505981195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1155845036494103422006-08-17T16:03:00.000-04:002006-08-17T16:03:00.000-04:00I know I'm supposed to find that funny, but honest...I know I'm supposed to find that funny, but honestly, I read it and think "What an Asshat."<BR/><BR/>CCChalicechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781469958573869914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1155839719662764282006-08-17T14:35:00.000-04:002006-08-17T14:35:00.000-04:00I go back and forth on whether you're nitpicking. ...I go back and forth on whether you're nitpicking. <BR/><BR/>I do know that when I feel the need to brag on UUism and bring up that three of the first six presidents were Unitarian, I don't draw the distinction between what they believed and what I believe in very finely. <BR/><BR/>It's possible I suck for that. <BR/><BR/>CCChalicechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781469958573869914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1155833781427759712006-08-17T12:56:00.000-04:002006-08-17T12:56:00.000-04:00Maybe I'm nitpicking, but what's always bothered m...Maybe I'm nitpicking, but what's always bothered me is referring to anyone who lived before 1961 as a "UU". The kids in our church proudly do this ("guess which dead UU I'm describing") and I always want to stand up and say "But they weren't UUs!!".Paul Wilczynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345851400121369359noreply@blogger.com
