In honor of Dana's ordination, and because Elizabeth has said she'll parish without another pun smackdown, we're doing puns about religious orders (I'll have monk fish) and other churchy-type stuff. Of course, since I can't really stay logged on (due to packing for the move, etc.) I suppose I'll be participating ex-cathedrally -- I could be wrong about that, though.

[Wink]

Anyway, the bells are ringing. Come inside. Kumbaya...

Thanks, Bob.
Aisle remember this.

I'll have to enchoir about this pun business. It's a new testament for me, this writing style. Hymn... I'll have to think some more.

Pun threads stink.

Pew.
 
Posted by The Reader (Member # 3636) on :
 
I don't do many puns. I may have to altar my writing style. I'll pulpit up a bit and make my writing meatier.
 
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
 
That was sort of an ad-homily attack, don't you think?

Liz, Aisle be damned -- just climb over people.

[Wink]

Seriously, you stole that one. I had it right here in my pocket ready to pop in here and freshen things up a bit. Sort of a vest mint.

I wonder if our host will want to make any puns? Or will he just wine like usual?

Did you hear about the hot new magazing being published? It's just for singing churchgoers, called The National In Choir.

Do you mean the father orson host?

[ROFL]

That's the spirit!

If you ask the pastor for advice right after services, is that like having an in vestment counselor?
 
Posted by JenniK (Member # 3939) on :
 
My pun writing isn't very theo-logical.I must confess that thinking of them is praying on my creativity a bit.


(wow I'm posting ! well isn't that amazing, Grace?)
 
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
 
It is great to have the host communin' with us.
 
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
 
Jen, you flex'd that pretty well. I bow before you.

[Hail]

My friend quit drinking, and that is all well and good. Now he is addicted to Internet forums. He is a postholic.

Little Johnny, on his way way in to the Sunday special praise service: We're all goin' to hail!

Well, I bet that made his mom sigh, nod, and really wrecked 'er.

Bob, you nave, is this a vestment in Liz's goodwill? By the way, is Smokey's mpther still alive? There's nothing worse than a dogma that's too rigid.
 
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
 
Dogma too rigid? Parish the thought.

The recent Japanese converts queued up to dance into the Church: it was a conga geishan line.

*asks Bob for a piggy-back ride*

I ain't massive, I'm yer brother.

(though I suck at puns)
 
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
 
No one who puns cassock at it, alluvion.
 
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
 
I guess that one went over veryone's head. Maybe you all just wimpled out.
 
Posted by bunbun (Member # 6814) on :
 
Apse-solutely, Elizabeth. You must have really chapeled their asses.
 
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
 
I think the humor, such as it is, in this thread had peaked by now. I haven't laughed at in in ages.

Although Jenni can quote it chapter and verse.

This is great for when I'm sick of being mature and I just want to be kiddish.

Egyptians used to believed cats were guardians of the underworld, but it was hard to get them to stay awake. They had special priests to take care of that: someone with a tabby knack'll really help with stubborn cats.

Wow, the witty spirit in these pun threads is really invicarating. I'll have to commune with you guys more often.

When the new synagogue came to town, the sent word out to the other congregations, "Won't you bima neighbor?
 
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
 
Well, I think this thread was a super-duper, preachy-keen idea.
 
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
 
Amidah big mistake getting involved with this thread. I may just kippah-n going until somebody sets their evil minyans to stop me!

Chumash longer is this going to go on?

Just a quick note about an old friend that formed his own religion. We went to one of his sermons and my daughter was quite curious about his ornate,sleeveless overcoat. Having spent countless hours with said friend qualified me to explain what the vestmeant.

My husband is grouchy today, I think because he's on a diet. The doctor said he needs to needs to watch his cholesterol, because it's a little high. Then he wanted to order pizza, and I said, Don't trumeau that your health is at stake? Don't be so cornice, he replied, it's not your business, so buttress out. You're the boss, I said. It's not my problem if your arteries get all jambed up and clerestory.
 
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
 
[Laugh] Good one, bunbun!
 
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
 
bunbun, tell him if he doesn't stop complaining yu will put him on a Diet of Worms.
 
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
 
I don't know. Bunbun's wit sounds less like religion and more like architorture.
 
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
 
Yeah, but it's church architecture, so it still counts.
 
Posted by reader (Member # 3888) on :
 
You stole the puns; there's no surplice for the rest of us. But the truth is, the puns on this thread aren't worth tu nicles anyway. Are the puns - GAR! - meant to be so bad? I think I'll just rochet out of this zone as fast as I can.
 
Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :
 
I knew a guy once who made too many bad puns. Finally, I said to him, "Eu Christ or something? So stop with the puns!"
 
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
 
I hope he didn't get cross with you when you said that.
