Speaking as a pastor, I can tell you that this is one of the things we really don’t like. It happened to me once. I was speaking on the sacraments and I referred to the Lord’s Supper as Holy Communion. A jerk in the congregation spoke up and said that it’s real name is the Eucharist. I actually don’t think I was as embarrassed as the rest of the congregation and the idiot who rudely interrupted wound up looking like a fool in front of everybody else.
One thing to admire about that pastor: he clearly recognizes an idiot when one speaks up, which is a rare talent in GA. And he’s got more self-restraint than I have!
For those who are still wondering when, where or IF someone (anyone) in the Wallet family will take a walk in the woods to take in the fall colors, I thought I would mention that, at least, Pickles has apparently taken a walk in the woods with a member of the younger generation to take in the fall colors!
I realize, of course, that someone from Go Comics will come around soon and take this post out because of the link provided but, for the time being you can find
PICKLES on Fall Colors at
http://www.gocomics.com/pickles
For those who are wondering what Rover is up to on Monday, October 18, 2010 - You can find the strip at Comic Strip Nation and at the Houston Chronicle. I won’t post a link because Go Comics seems to send someone around periodically to remove all comments which include links to places where you can find the strips which go missing at Go Comics. ALSO - you might check with your local newspaper to see if they offer Comic Kingdom as part of their on line comics. In case YOUR local newspaper does not include Comic Kingdom, the following newspapers have Comic Kingdom,, which includes ALL of the Tribune comics in COLOR:
The Denver Post
Milwaukee, Wisconsin Journal Sentinel On Line
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
(Choose any old-time comic - such as Grin and Bear It. When that comic comes up, the upper left menu at the top of the panel will include the option to “Choose a Comic.” When you put your cursor over the “Choose a Comic” option, the list of available Comic Kingdom comics will come up. You will find Gasoline Alley on this list.)
For those who still haven’t found Monday’s Gasoline Alley, Rover decides to blow up the rubber raft which he has in the back of the truck and bunk in the back of the trunk, using the blanket and pillow which his wife threw out the window at him when she kicked him out of the house.

That’s a new one to me. I don’t know if anyone at our church has ever done this to our Pastor, he has brought someone else in though.

When Dave Allen did that one 35 years ago, it was already old.

I heard it attributed to Rev Ian Paisley many years ago. Probably because it sounds even funnier if you do it in his accent ….

The essence of theology: if challenged, make something up on the spot.

Will night guards be provided also? Bruxism could cause serious problems.

It’s certainly a multi-denominational church.

Looks like the pastor is gnashing his teeth already.
