02/15/2005: More fafbloggerie
fafnir and Team fafblog (Giblets and The Medium Lobster) are "at it" again. They have some must read stuff, and faf has this one about "Homeland Joe" complete with its own "Ode." So I had to send him my compliments:
Dear Fafnir:
I wanted to write and tell ya how much I liked Homeland Joe. Specially the song...I really like singing too.
I don't know if you read your comment section (I put one there)...and just between you and me...I get kinda confused between comments and e-mailing...and I'm clearly addicted to both. Could be I was born with a case of that bloggin virus. Infected at birth. Cause I'm sorta like Giblets... with those God-like complexes, Supreme Powers, Hallucinations. Then there was my Napoleonic upbringing to consider....and my most Statuesque Personality (and I did give away my Pedestal a few years ago-so you won't be gettin' me back up there anytime soon)...but I do the best mal-adjusted things I can to get along. It works OK...no complaints so far.
Anyway, Faf, ya shoulda been "one of us gang 'o' lawyers." We'd have smuggled ya right through Law School and on to the Summa Cum Laude laced Pie-Bar-blog. I'm still saving the biggest Shark in My swimming pool for you just in case you every really need him for some legal stuff. (But I just can't look at him cause of the selachophobia an all.)
Obsequiously yours...O&E
I also sent faf my own song I wrote about that "taking God and Jesus out of Christmas" flap that was all the 'news' last holiday season. But, Be Warned: Don't go reading this if you're overly sensitive about God and all (I don't make fun of HIM...mostly Bill O'Reilly and Charles Krauthammer) but I just happen to think GOD has more of a sense of humor than people give HIM credit for.
So click on the "more" button to sing along to my ditty "Lookin' For God."
PS here's my song...it was more of a xmas ditty...but there's only 314 more day left till next xmas:
{To the tune of "I'm Lookin' for Love in All the Wrong Places" sung by Waylon Jennings}
Lookin' for GOD
I've spent a lifetime looking for you
TV Evangelists and gospel singers too, never true
Playing a fools game, hoping to win
Telling those sweet lies and losing again.
I was looking for GOD in all the wrong places
Looking for GOD in too many faces
Searching those scripts, looking for traces
Of what.. I'm dreaming of...
Hopin' to find a Prophet and a teacher
Would bless the day I discover
A church with a wing and a prayer.
I…I'm lookin' for GOD.
I was alone in shopping malls, no GOD in sight
And I did everything I could to get me through the night.
Government offices and corridors too
No GOD I sight, what could I do…
I…I'm lookin' for GOD.
I was looking for GOD in all the wrong places
Looking for GOD in too many faces
Searching those scripts, looking for traces
Of what.. I'm dreaming of...
Hopin' to find a Prophet and a teacher
Would bless the day I discover
Another heart, lookin' for GOD.
I turn to Fox News, just like a friend
Bill O'Reilly came a'knocking at my door..
He's everything I've been looking for…
A loofah and grin, He said, "I pay my taxes…
How could they ignore my religious practices…"
And we went…Lookin' for GOD.
No more looking for GOD in all the wrong places
Krauthammer claims it's in everyone's faces
Searching their eyes and you'll see the traces
Of what.. I'm dreaming of...
With all my faith I should find
Other religions represented in kind…
I…I'm lookin' for GOD.
I was looking for GOD in all the wrong places
Looking for GOD in too many faces
Searching those scripts, looking for traces
Of what.. I'm dreaming of...
Hopin' to find a Prophet and a teacher
Would bless the day I discover
A church with a wing and a prayer.
I…I'm Lookin for GOD.
