"Use All The Crayons!" ... Prayer
The “Use All The Crayons!” podcast is up and running. Well, it’s more like ambling. But there are two full episodes (plus a promo). I invite you to check’em out. At 10 minutes, they’re thoughtfully short — and that’s the last time I’ll dare to leave myself wide open (and fly down) to a joke like that.
But I think you’re going to like it. The pilot episodes are presentable and trending up. Feel free to get in touch with your suggestions on how to improve.One option …
Today’s theme is … PRAYER!
• I would think one of the most difficult things in nature would be being a praying mantis and trying to explain to your parents that you've lost your faith. (Note: Praying, not preying, is correct)
• It’s borderline sacrilegious but I request you include in your Thanksgiving blessing a prayer that God mention to Tom Petty that we all still really miss him.
• Fearful over the repercussions Ann Coulter is canceling her May 2 speech in Berkeley. Praying she doesn't decide to come to Tin Lizzy.
• It’s good to pray to God to change the world. It's better to use all your God-given powers to change the world.
• Never in my wildest dreams thought I'd say this, but I’m starting to pray Trump calls George W. Bush for advice on how to run the country.
• I understand if I pray for riches, I'll get nothing and if I pray for wisdom, I'll need nothing. I can't help it. Still praying for riches.
• I hope to reduce afterlife moron population they give each of us a riddle we have to answer before getting into heaven and I pray mine's easy peazy.
• Birds of prey have sharp talons that are incapable of interlocking, just one reason why you’ll never see birds of pray.
• Okay, NASA announces a life-extinguishing asteroid will strike the earth in 8 minutes. And that's it. We're cooked. What would you do with your 8 minutes? Pray? Hug loved ones? I blame Mom's hyper-parenting but I'm pretty sure I'd brush my teeth and put on some fresh underwear. Then, what the heck, maybe rob a bank.
Randoms …
• After going dark in recent years, Ringling Bros. announces its big comeback. The elephant in the room is that there will be no elephants in the room.
• Starting today, I shall begin to refer to the fast food wrappers, stray receipts, old magazines, etc. that litter my vehicle interior collectively as "carbage." Not to be confused with cabbage, although I've found some of that back there, too.
• Because I enjoy testing the tolerance of inanimate objects -- and I'm including humans when I say "inanimate" -- tomorrow for my first Wordle guess I'm typing in the letters LBGTQ to see if my computer explodes.
• I’ve learned from bitter experience that, although mashed, baked & circular gum may resemble a potentially lucky penny, the gum is much more difficult to lift off the city sidewalk and ultimately it is barely worth the free chew.
• That I can't recall ever having spent any quality time at a popsicle stand, yet have blown hundreds of them, leads me to believe I have some serious commitment issues.
