Oh, and Yay, Siouxie!

I liked that photo of A man in full pirate regalia, does it come with the hords of tribesmen?
That could be why he was suspended - he over-crowded the classroom.
*wonders when this religious group will be looking for comets*

And the anthem is "On top of spaghetti all covered with chease, I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed"

YAY! me!!
I feel like Claire Martin ;-)
Pastafarian religion??? anyone ever heard of this??

immediate reaction:
"...that is freaking hilarious..."

Why do these so-called educators not read their history?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 29, 2007 at 11:46 AM
at least this guy has a great imagination. or he is severly emotionally screwed up, OR he's just another freak.
Posted by: wickedwitch | March 29, 2007 at 11:47 AM
Meanie, that was before my time at the blog...I just had never heard of it.
wow..so it's true! unfrigginreal!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 29, 2007 at 11:48 AM
Yes, I've heard of the Pastafarians. Instead of 10 commandments, they have the 8 "I'd really rather you didn'ts"
It's a satirical religion created entirely in response to the proposed teaching of intelligent design.

spagnostic !!!!
hah!
Posted by: Gadfly | March 29, 2007 at 11:50 AM
Pastafarian? Flying Spaghetti Monster god?
Does that mean every time someone eats a bowl of spaghetti they're, like, eating a god!?
Man, Italians are SO screwed ...
Posted by: kibby F5™ | March 29, 2007 at 11:50 AM
Holy Yikes!
Do NOT click the first link under that story in the More Metro department.
Posted by: Gadfly | March 29, 2007 at 11:52 AM
The Private Biting story? That was pretty funny, as I'm a woman of the female persuasion. For guys, I'd imagine, not so much.

Wasn't criticizing you, Sioux (I hadn't even realized you were the poster).

Posted by: marva637 | March 29, 2007 at 12:11 PM
Hahahahahah! Kid's a dweeb; parents are incompetent poops; school is right. I think castration is best to keep this kid out of the gene pool.
Posted by: Dr. Doug | March 29, 2007 at 12:17 PM
Nooooooo Meanie! I didn't think you were!! ;-)
I really had never heard of this. Rastafarian, yes.
Edgar, thanks.
Posted by: Siouxie | March 29, 2007 at 12:21 PM
So I'm guessing that "Talk Like A Pirate Day" is a major religious holiday for this kid...
Posted by: AFKAT | March 29, 2007 at 12:21 PM
Dr - how did that work for you?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 29, 2007 at 12:21 PM
Some people have no respect for pirate couture.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 29, 2007 at 12:24 PM
Dear Annie, you sweet heart . . . I will have to ask my daughters.
Posted by: Dr. Doug | March 29, 2007 at 12:24 PM
*snork* @ the Dr!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 29, 2007 at 12:26 PM
Annie, I love that picture of your dog!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 29, 2007 at 12:26 PM
Thanks, Siouxie. He was not enthusiastic about the pirate garb, but he was tolerant of it, unlike the school system.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 29, 2007 at 12:29 PM
Agreed! My daughter goes to an art high school so someone dressed up as a pirate would not even be noticed ...probably even encouraged. They're always dressing up for something.
Posted by: Siouxie | March 29, 2007 at 12:39 PM
All of the naysayers will be singing a different tune (probably a pirate shanty) after the Spaghetti Monster comes down from the heavens to reclaim his devoted followers, leaving the rest of us drowning in sauce....
All I'm saying....

Are those your work boots, Siouxie?
Anyway, How does this kid feel about other pastas? Angel Hair? Lasagna? Ravioli? Are these part of his religion, too?
Posted by: WeatherB | March 29, 2007 at 01:05 PM
How are you gonna kick her @ss without your [email protected] boots?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 29, 2007 at 01:06 PM
I'm a pastafarian. Have been for years.

I have a statue of St. Vermicelli on my desk.

You go back to the Old Pastament, don't you Lab?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 29, 2007 at 01:11 PM
As others have said, it's a satirical response to creationist idiots. May you be touched by his noodly appendage.
Posted by: Neil G | March 29, 2007 at 01:13 PM
Annie, can I borrow yours?? Besides, Chris has gotten drool all over 'em now...
WeatherB - just boots for when I need to

I got your noodly appendage Neil
Posted by: Creationist Idiot | March 29, 2007 at 01:22 PM
Some noodly appendages are better than others.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 29, 2007 at 01:25 PM
oh, yeah, um...warning on that last link. :)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 29, 2007 at 01:28 PM
Tut, tut, AWbh. Do you need to go back into linkhab?
Posted by: Clean Hands | March 29, 2007 at 01:29 PM
Of course y'all realize that the Pastafarians are divided into two main groups, not to mention several splinter or spin-off sects ...
The main divergence in their religion was brought about by the controversy over mushrooms in the sauce ...
Therefore, the two separated gatherings are commonly referred to as After Mushrooms (A.M.) and Before Mushrooms (B.M.) ...
This has been your friendly religious-weirdness update.
Posted by: O'theU(manity) | March 29, 2007 at 01:32 PM
hmmm, sounds like a bunch of bolognese to me
Posted by: Gadfly | March 29, 2007 at 01:34 PM
I suppose the school will have problems with him taking his garlic toast communion wafer, and washing it down with a little cheap Chianti at noontime Pasta study in the main quad.
Posted by: BillyJoeJimBob | March 29, 2007 at 01:36 PM
Some people believe in the Bible and sport the little "Jesus Fish" on the backs of their cars. Some people are pro-evolution and sport the "Darwin Fish" on their cars. There are also Pastafarians that sport the FSM on their
pirate shipscars.I am, however, ProCreation

Baron, I have to say that after I got over being horrified by that last link, I laughed long and loud. We sport a gefilte fish ourselves...
Posted by: marfie | March 29, 2007 at 01:44 PM
Praise the Lord and pasta ammunition.
Annie, did I not ask nicely yesterday to refrain from posting Dave's underwear ads?
Posted by: Layzeeboy | March 29, 2007 at 01:45 PM
Gefilte's a sport fish? Who knew?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 29, 2007 at 01:46 PM
Before we can accept the FSM, we must first cleanse ourselves of Oregano Sin!
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 29, 2007 at 01:46 PM
*SNORK* @ Baron & OtheU!!
Annie, no warning needed ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | March 29, 2007 at 01:49 PM
Sorry, Layzee -the world needs someone who knows how to lift and separate.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 29, 2007 at 01:50 PM
Snork @ Oregano Sin! and a Bunch Of Bolognese!
Posted by: Barøn vønKlyff | March 29, 2007 at 01:52 PM
I always thought pastafarians were similar to buddhists. Now there's proof.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 29, 2007 at 01:53 PM
Presumably "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" is a important text?
Or perhaps it's apocryphal?
Posted by: cowhand214 | March 29, 2007 at 01:55 PM
If you were in the wrong neighborhood, you could've passed a Farian loitering in a doorway.

FSM needs to get on the wheel.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 29, 2007 at 02:27 PM
Annie WBH: You just cost me $7.50. Have to get one of those wheels. BTW, I have a cousin who lives on a street called Some Other Place. True. How confusing would that be.
For all the religion fans out there (and I guess that has to include Cross Girl), a question: -- In Matthew Chapter 21 it says that prior to His triumphant entry on Palm Sunday, the Lord was at Bethpage on the Mount of Olives. So why don't they call it Palmolive Sunday?

The FSM church was at its height during the Holy Romano Empire.
Posted by: PM | March 29, 2007 at 05:15 PM
Since the link to venganza.org keeps having server problems for me, and I thus don't know what information is there, I'll add a link to Wikipedia. ^_^
Posted by: Scivitri | March 29, 2007 at 05:41 PM
*snork* @ PM for Romano. And to answer your question, to name it "PalmOlive Sunday" would infer corporate sponsorship. Like Petco Park, or Cellular Field. Guess the marketing deal fell through.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 29, 2007 at 05:45 PM
That was a final Jeopardy! question once: What dishwashing detergent is named for two plants? PALMOLIVE. None of the contestants got it. They must use Dawn.

You all missed the headline below the main story:
Man in unfortunate saw-mill penis incident
http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=43397&in_page_id=2
A man has been taken to hospital in Australia after his penis and groin got caught in the machinery at a saw mill.
The Adelaide Advertiser reports that the accident is not thought to have had life-threatening consequences, but that there was a degree of uncontrollable bleeding involved.
The thirty-year-old man was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
A spokesman for Parafield Gardens Saw Mill said: 'He got caught in the log moving mechanism on one of the saws.'
The spokesman maintained that the man's injuries were not serious. Which is easy for him to say.

Ouch!

Interesting that we must protect the rights of children to mock Christianity in public schools, but God forbid one of them should wear a crucifix or (gasp!) pray to God.
