1) Biblical humor in the comic strips. A friend sent me these. I hope I am not braking too many copyright laws by posting them. 🙂 Also hope the guy with the lightning bolts has a sense of humor.
2.a) The first picture is from a slide show on the Christian Science Monitor. Who could not love a parade with fire-breathing dragons. The parade, by South Korean Buddhists, during the Lotus Lantern Festival in Seoul, was to celebrate the upcoming birthday of Buddha. I had not know I shared his birthday. While my stomach is starting to resemble the Buddha figurine on my table, no monks have come knocking on my door, proclaiming I am a reincarnated dodhisattva Avalokitesvara – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalai_Lama
b. The next picture is also from a festival parade, the Sciacca Carnival parade in the Sicilian town of Sciacca. The float is of Casanova, with a lady friend. The Sicilians are celebrating a different kind of fireworks than the Buddhists.
3) The following music video is from a song on a new album by LCD Sound System. Don’t be put off by the song’s title, “Drink Girls”. LCD Sound Systems uses a lot of tongue-in-cheek titles. My guy genes were drawn to this craziness, which channels the Three Stooges, but as you see in the end no one actually got hurt, I don’t think. 🙂

Papa and Ric, I am sure many mothers think of, and treat, their sons as gods. Only one, Mary, can make that claim. 🙂
