Flying Spaghetti Monster-ism

Pirate Defense

If you would have asked me, I would have said, “Nothing makes me happier than a good tower defense flash game.” Well, now I have to amend that statement to, “Nothing makes me happier than a good PIRATE RELATED tower defense flash game!” 

The game actually has nothing to do with pirates. I mean, the bad guys are pirates, but they could easily have been anything, even little green dots. But this is still a different take on the tower defense idea because instead of just towers, you have traps. So you have to build triggers for the traps so that they go off whenever a pirate steps on a trigger. You get bonus points for combos, for example, the pirate might step on a trigger next to a catapult, launching him through a bees nest and finally landing him next to some good old fashioned dynamite which would then blow up. Combo!

For the record though, I do not condone the killing of pirates in such a sneaky fashion; they should be killed in honest swashbuckling combat or by walking the plank, as god intended.

Bacon Worship

Just when I am getting comfortable with my new Flying Spaghetti Monster religion, along comes a new religion based on Bacon!  This is no fly-by-night operation either, they have a great URL, a bible and even a political party.

What do they do for communion?  Might I suggest deep fried bacon?

Thank you tomato sauce gods!

Looks like another disciple for the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

I’ll try to make this quick!

3 new teeth for a total of 7 teeth now.  Strangely she got some molars next and they both came in on the same day.  Months and months to get the first ones and then 3 in like a week!  In addition to orange, she can now identify purple and green.  We are working on yellow.  Mostly she just wants to say purple though.  Her favorite thing to do is yell “stop sign!” when she sees one.  She’s putting two words together a lot more.  She likes to count the cats on the calendar.  She won’t say “one” but after that she knows it goes two, three and then four.  We need to get some video of her trying to hop…funniest thing you ever saw.

I belive I spoke before about the religion I have now joined, Flying Spaghetti Monster-ism.

Well now you too can share in his noodlyness’ eternal sauce with devotions hymns here and here.

There are such great lyrics as:

“Not even the Flying Spaghetti Monster can create a pirate from ether
Neither born nor created, pirates they just are”

and (with translation):

PIE SAUCUS DOMINE. . . merciful lord of tomato sauce.
IN NOMINE PASTA . . . in the name of the great noodly appendage.
PIE SAUCUS DOMINE . . . merciful lord of tomato sauce.
IN NOMINE PASTA . . . in the name of the great noodly appendage.
FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER! . . . flying spaghetti monster!
FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER! . . . flying spaghetti monster!
PIE SAUCUS DOMINE . . . merciful lord of tomato sauce.
RAMEN . . . Aaaww yeeeah, you know dat’s right.

May you all be Touched by His Noodly Appendage.

RAmen.

Right now I feel….Explosivio!

I am soooooooo stuffed.

Today was Tony Vegas’ birthday so we went out to Maggianos for some family style Italian. I ate like 3 times my body weight. And I way a LOT. Made me want to join a new religion. I always knew I loved pirates and pasta, but I never knew there was a religion based on it.

I didn’t go to work today. My job has this weird rule where you can get approved for overtime, but even if you get approved, the first 5 extra hours you work you don’t get paid for. Then, also inexplicably, that rule is waved on the weekend. So I’m doing what any reasonable person would do, which is not work a second over 40 during the week and then come in on the weekend. So, I had my 40 in on Thursday so I didn’t go to work.

I still programmed for about 9 hours today though, taking only breaks to vacuume and do dishes. I’m working on a program for Sara to use at work. I got *so* close to finishing it today. I guess I’ll finish it up tomorrow or maybe when I get done with this.

Did I mention that I’m stuffed? Did I mention that Maggianos is the greatest place on earth??
