How about a bloody mary? Can I grab one of those before the service?
Posted by: cowhand214 | June 21, 2009 at 10:56 AM
Free beer, bacon rolls and chocolate bars? Now that's a service we can all get behind!
Happy Father's Day to Dave and all you fathers out there.

wait just a minute....moms get posies. POSIES?!!??! and men get beer. hrmph.

What do you expect, Crossgirl? The Pastor is one of us. You're lucky he doesn't give you brooms.
Posted by: Elon | June 21, 2009 at 11:20 AM
"Posies" must be a brand of wine.
Happy Fathers' Day, Dave. And, um, bless you.

Time to "belly up" to the altar?
What's next, a pole dancing choir?

"Men at St Stephen's church in Barbourne, Worcester, will be handed bottles of beer by children during the service. A prayer will be said for the fathers before the gifts are distributed."
I'm behind this effort wholeheartedly: it's a win/win.
Teach the kiddies bartending skills and saying prayers that everyone gets home safely. Great idea!

I'm headed to church right now with this article in hand. Maybe we dip a brat in the beer instead of the wine and bread. WooHoo
Posted by: AlbuquerqueTurkey | June 21, 2009 at 11:34 AM
Um, ABQTurkey, wouldn't transubstantiating a brat possibly raise some prurient interests? NTTAWWT
Posted by: ScottMGS | June 21, 2009 at 11:42 AM
*SMACKS* Elon. Brooms?? You were begging for a *SMACK* with that remark. We have wine every Sunday at my Church! We just tell the men, fathers or not, that if they don't come to Mass they will spend eternity WITHOUT the three b's. Beer, Ballgames, and Babes. It works pretty well.

And for those whose Sabbath is on Saturday.....

Generally speaking, people do not want to go to goofball churches that offer bribes, which is why the C of E is DOA. If being goofy and loving beer were enough, Dave would be Pope.
Posted by: SoberHorseThief | June 21, 2009 at 11:45 AM
My mom used to wish the priest a Happy Fathers' Day. He'd say thank you, then do a double-take.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 21, 2009 at 11:46 AM
So that's where you get it, Annie. Ha!
Also, can we get an extra large handbasket, here. This one's too small for me.
Posted by: ScottMGS | June 21, 2009 at 11:50 AM
The preview showed the italics closed, I swear!
Posted by: ScottMGS | June 21, 2009 at 11:51 AM
I've broken the blog. No beer for me.
Posted by: ScottMGS | June 21, 2009 at 11:51 AM
and to open the beers, will they need churchkeys?
Posted by: insomniac | June 21, 2009 at 12:05 PM
oh goodie! can i have scott's?
Posted by: crossgirl | June 21, 2009 at 12:05 PM
*sighs*
*hands beer to cg*
Mea maxima culpa.

Happy Father's Day to Dave and all the blog dads! Hope you get to
drink lots of beerrelax and have a wonderful day!Posted by: Just Ducky | June 21, 2009 at 12:10 PM
Does that choir sound a little funny to you?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 21, 2009 at 12:13 PM
Yes, Meanie, I think it's because they're singing "Bock of Ages."
Posted by: Just Ducky | June 21, 2009 at 12:29 PM
I will be attending afternoon services at the Cathedral of St. Pauligirl.
Posted by: Danny | June 21, 2009 at 12:31 PM
I second crossgirl's hmmmph! Not fair at all!
Mothers need
alcoholblessings too.Once again, Happy Dad's Day to all my favorite blog dads! Have Joy and plenty of beer!
Posted by: Siouxie | June 21, 2009 at 12:35 PM
>>... this is a gesture saying 'Here's something that will bless you,'" he said...<<
Bless or bloat ?
Posted by: Clankazoid | June 21, 2009 at 12:40 PM
Is that what it is, Ducky? It sounded like the Have A Lager Chorus.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 21, 2009 at 12:42 PM
Here I said I would never go to church, but that sounds like my kind of church. Beer and chocolate, Amen!
Posted by: Margaritaville | June 21, 2009 at 12:44 PM
Meanie, that was after they sang "Imbibe with Me."
Posted by: Just Ducky | June 21, 2009 at 12:48 PM
Ducky,
That's sacrilege. You need to say ten "Ale Mary"'s.
I think the correct title is "Rolling Rock of Ages."
Posted by: Danny | June 21, 2009 at 12:52 PM
*considers getting cleaned up, changing clothes, then going to church. then considers Beer Fridge in the shady carport, 15 feet away. scratches belly, turns fan up a notch.*
Posted by: CJrun | June 21, 2009 at 12:56 PM
If the Baptists were of such a mind, they would sing Stout, Sister, Stout!
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 21, 2009 at 12:59 PM
Danny, maybe y'all sing it differently at St. Pauligirl's.
Don't forget to add ten "Our Lagers."
Posted by: Just Ducky | June 21, 2009 at 01:00 PM
Meanie, followed by "Are You Washed in the Bud?"
Posted by: Just Ducky | June 21, 2009 at 01:11 PM
How 'bout "Beer I Place Into Your Hands" and "Jesus Hold My Beer"
*jumps into handbasket*
Posted by: Siouxie | June 21, 2009 at 01:39 PM
*Scoots over to make room in the handbasket*
Welcome, girlfriend!
Posted by: Just Ducky | June 21, 2009 at 01:43 PM
were they serving light beer?
amazing taste
and fewer carbs
you've made a fan of meee!
i'm not as full
and not as round
though still i gotta pee...
Posted by: insomniac | June 21, 2009 at 02:14 PM
To attract more men, the beer will be distributed by lingere models sitting on top of large screen TV's.
It's all about the attendance figures.
Happy Fathers Day to all you blog guys who are, or had, a father. You're a real fun lot.
Posted by: NotSherly | June 21, 2009 at 02:16 PM
*lite-snork* @ insom!
Posted by: Siouxie | June 21, 2009 at 02:27 PM
Our Lager, which art in taverns,
Hollowed out my brain.
Thy kegdom come.
Thy swill be fun,
Our girth long past size eleven.
Guinness this day our daily brew
To pour over our best Basses,
As we forget those who've just been introduced to us.
And leave us not without libation,
But deliver us from hangovers.
Oh, man.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 21, 2009 at 02:48 PM
meanie, you're going to bust he%% wide open.
Posted by: nursecindy | June 21, 2009 at 03:11 PM
Bravo Meanie.
May Pabst be with you.
Posted by: NotSherly | June 21, 2009 at 03:21 PM
"Can I get that beer to go?"
Posted by: Moon | June 21, 2009 at 03:29 PM
And another *snork* @ Meanie!! Amen, Brother Blue.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 21, 2009 at 03:34 PM
Praise the Lord and pass the beer nuts.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 21, 2009 at 03:38 PM
Excellent work, insom and MtB. But now you're in trouble with the Man who walked on the Sea of Genesee.
Posted by: Danny | June 21, 2009 at 03:41 PM
How about a bloody mary? Can I grab one of those before the service?
Not sure about before the service, but maybe afterwards; the country club in my parents' neighborhood was giving out free Bloody Mary's to the dads at Sunday brunch today.
Posted by: Kev | June 21, 2009 at 04:08 PM
Happy Fathers Day Dave! I think we've been blessed so much already we are beginning to list!
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | June 21, 2009 at 04:47 PM
nursecindy, I've been in the Nothing To Lose Club for quite some time now.
Although I do interact with the Holy Spirits, too....
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 21, 2009 at 05:09 PM
Happy Dad's Day to all you great Dad's out there. And the mediocre ones too. :)
Gotta run. I'm making my man cream puffs (to be served with beer, of course).
Posted by: Ms.Flukey | June 21, 2009 at 05:12 PM
God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.
Posted by: Guin | June 21, 2009 at 06:25 PM
Who broke the blog?!!! SNORKS @ Meanie: it's been nice knowing ya.
Happy Father's and Mother's Day to all.
*Opens the blogbar and slides beer to everyone except Sioux, who gets her usual Chardonay*
Posted by: Meditrina | June 21, 2009 at 06:34 PM
The poetry pieces and the bogs were laugh out loud funny. But I expect a lightning bolt to flash down on y'all anytime...
As for the efforts by these churches, can anyone spell b-r-i-b-e?
Posted by: Aussiegirl | June 21, 2009 at 06:59 PM
Thanks, Med ;-P
Aussiegirl, which is exactly the reason I stay away from these people.
*polishes halo*
Posted by: Siouxie | June 21, 2009 at 08:00 PM
Geez, I'LL fix it!
Posted by: Moon | June 21, 2009 at 08:09 PM
Did it work?
Posted by: Moon | June 21, 2009 at 08:10 PM
CRAP!
Try again!
Posted by: Moon | June 21, 2009 at 08:10 PM
CRAP!
Posted by: Moon | June 21, 2009 at 08:11 PM

The Blog is broken; I keep hit hitting "Refresh", butt I still keep seeing Juana dancing thru her wedding re-vows....
